Hollywood Walk of Fame
Hollywood Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA, 90028
Only in Los Angeles are stars so common that they can be found on the sidewalk. Featuring more than 2,600 brass stars along Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Street, the Hollywood Walk of Fame is an iconic tribute to celebrities past and present. No trip to Hollywood is complete without strolling its length and finding stars belonging to your favorite, ahem, stars.
The basics
Aside from the thousands of terrazzo and brass stars studding the sparkly black sidewalk, the Hollywood Walk of Fame is a regular public thoroughfare that passes in front of other top sights. But it’s worth stopping to see the glittering tributes to stars ranging from Charlie Chaplin to Marilyn Monroe. Even Mickey Mouse has a star on the Walk of Fame!
Many LA and Hollywood tours—whether by car, minivan, or bus, as well as walking tours—stop along the Walk of Fame. As they go, they offer a historical narrative and scandalous secrets of the United States’ film industry in the process. This stop is usually grouped with a visit to the TCL Chinese Theater, a drive past impressive celebrity homes in Beverly Hills, and sweeping views of the Hollywood Sign.
