Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Remarkable location
Panneau Hollywood
The Hollywood panel dominates the arid slopes of the Santa Monica Mountains and turns a simple hill into an immediately recognizable image of Los Angeles. It can be seen from several quarters, but the most legible views come from the trails and viewpoints around Griffith Park, when fog or heat do not erase the letters.
Culture and heritage
Griffith Observatory
The Griffith Observatory combines Art Deco architecture, astronomy exhibitions and open terrace on Los Angeles. From Mount Hollywood, the look goes from Hollywood to Downtown Towers, then to the Pacific when the air is clear; in the evening, the city lights up under the domes.
Culture and heritage
Getty Center
The Getty Center brings together collections of European art, travertine architecture, terraced gardens and wide views of Los Angeles The tram ride, Richard Meier's white volumes and the central garden are part of the tour as well as the paintings, sculptures and photographs exhibited.
Place indismissible
Hollywood Walk of Fame
The Hollywood Walk of Fame It is as much a tourist sidewalk as a street decor, with brass stars embedded along Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Street. Between historical cinemas, sellers, signs and compact crowds, it shows the popular, noisy and very photographed Hollywood.
