Hollywood and Highland

The shops are nice and so are the restaurants, but the most fun thing here is the mosaic-tiled walkway inlaid with quotes from the famous and not-so-famous.

Walk of Fame

The famous stars on the sidewalk commemorate those who have made a name for themselves in radio, television and movies.

Mann's Chinese Theater

Besides the famous footprints in the forecourt, Mann's is a beautiful movie theater from the golden age.

Hollywood Bowl

There's no better place in all of Los Angeles to see an outdoor concert than the Hollywood Bowl.

Hollywood Sign

You can't walk up to the sign and shake hands, but you can see it from all over town. We outline some of the best spots for a view or photo.

Los Angeles Farmers Market

It's not quite in Hollywood proper, but the Farmers Market feels like it belongs there. It's our favorite spot for a meal, a glass of wine or a little shopping.

Sunset Strip

"The Strip" is famous for its nightclubs and comedy spots, but there are a few surprises here, too.

Hollywood Christmas Parade

Held at the end of Thanksgiving weekend, the Hollywood Christmas Parade is equal parts hometown and star-studded fun. You can watch for free anywhere along the route, or rest your legs and reserve a grandstand seat.
