Hollywood Walk of Fame
The Basics
Aside from the thousands of stars studding the sparkly black sidewalk, the Hollywood Walk of Fame is a regular public thoroughfare that passes in front of some other top sights. Many LA and Hollywood tours—whether by foot, car, minivan, or bus—stop along the Walk of Fame, sharing a historical narrative and scandalous secrets of the film industry. This stop is usually grouped with a visit to the TCL Chinese Theatre, a drive past impressive celebrity homes in Beverly Hills, and sweeping views of the Hollywood sign.
