Hollywood Walk of Fame

When you think of Hollywood, the Hollywood Sign probably pops into your head. High above in the Hollywood Hills, this sign is a piece of history. But forget walking to it. Instead, take a walk along Hollywood Boulevard to get a good view of the Hollywood Sign, and see the star of your favorite actor or musician from today or yesteryear.

Each month, a few more become a part of history by getting their star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and you can be there to see it. Not only will you see the celebrated star, but you could see some of their Hollywood friends who make an appearance to support them.

A tourist must, is to place your hands and feet in your favorite star’s imprint in cement, in front of Grauman’s Chinese Theater. Everyone does it! Grauman’s is a theater that was opened to the public on May 19, 1927. Now visitors and locals alike can watch their favorite new blockbuster on its giant screens. Though it has been expanded, it is still a must-see to watch a movie on the main screen. If you are lucky, you might even see a Hollywood premier, with the red carpet and all!

This is also a popular spot to hop on a tour to view where the stars live. Although you won’t see much of their houses (mainly just big iron gates), the tour is fun, but definitely not cheap.
