Heart of Hollywood
Los Angeles, Pacific Coast Highway
About This Activity
Hollywood is the symbolic heart of the entertainment industry. Walk the Hollywood Walk of Fame along Hollywood Boulevard, see celebrity handprints at the TCL Chinese Theatre (formerly Grauman's), and visit the Dolby Theatre where the Oscars are held. For panoramic views of the Hollywood Sign and LA skyline, hike Runyon Canyon — a popular 3.5-mile trail right in the neighborhood. Hollywood is gritty and touristy but undeniably iconic.
Seasonal note: Year-round; avoid peak summer heat for Runyon Canyon hikes
