Hollywood: Attractions


Hollywood is where dreams come true. At least, that’s what people say. Even if you’re not a dreamer, you can still enjoy all the larger-than-life attractions and some of the most well-known and famous Hollywood landmarks.

Museums Everything is celebrated here in Hollywood. From wax figures (Madame Tussauds), to Guinness World Record holders (Ripley’s Believe it or Not), to classic cars (Peterson Automotive Museum) and art exhibits (LACMA). Wherever your interests lie, there’s likely a museum for it. What’s really fun is that the exterior of the museums are just as interesting as what can be found on the inside. If you’re visiting LA, I’d recommend going to at least one museum during your trip. If you’re a local, spend an afternoon exploring one you haven’t been to yet.


Walk of Fame The infamous Hollywood Walk of Fame – block after block of stars and celebrity names. You’ll often find folks posing for pictures next to their favorites. And even a celeb or two have been known to pay their star a visit. In front of the Grauman’s Chinese Theater, you’ll find hand and footprints along with signatures of some of the most famous faces to grace the screen. A most stunning and grand place to catch a movie or attend a special screening. Located on Hollywood Boulevard, you can walk along the path of stars and then go and watch them on the silver screen.


Hollywood and Highland The Hollywood and Highland outdoor mall and entertainment complex is in the center of it all. Located at the corner of – you guessed it – Hollywood and Highland, it has become a must-stop for tourists and locals for all things ‘Hollywood’. The Academy Awards are hosted at the Dolby Theater, located in the complex. A plethora of events and parties are often hosted here. It’s also a great place to relax with a cup of coffee and people watch, as much as it is to shop all the cool stores and boutiques. You’ll get some great views of the Hollywood sign as well as the bustle on Hollywood Boulevard. 


Have you been to any of these Hollywood landmarks?
