Hollywood & Los Feliz

Famous stars on the sidewalk and the best views in the city.

Local highlights

The Hollywood Walk of Fame runs along Hollywood Boulevard, close to historic movie palaces. Next door, Los Feliz has a relaxed village feel along Vermont Avenue, and it is the gateway to Griffith Park and Griffith Observatory.

Getting there

The Metro B Line stops at Hollywood/Highland and Hollywood/Vine. Griffith Observatory is uphill and parking can be scarce on weekends; check the observatory’s site for the DASH Observatory bus.

Practical tips

Hollywood Boulevard is crowded, so visit in the morning and be wary of street sellers offering tours or tickets. Bring water and sun protection for Griffith Park trails, and check the observatory’s opening days before you go.

Nearby attractions

Universal Studios and the Warner Bros. Studio Tour are both a short drive into Burbank and the valley, making an easy pairing with a Hollywood morning.

Confirm current opening hours, tickets, access rules, and transport before visiting.
