The other name for Los Angeles is certainly not Hollywood, but it is undoubtedly popular for that. It is a typical scene for a Hollywood stalwart to be casually walking down the boulevard. With an open rooftop bus tour, you might get a casual wave from one of them, certainly not so casual for you. The city of Los Angeles has always got some surprise packed for its visitors.
Commence the tour with the most famous face of LA, The Hollywood Walk Of Fame. The most renowned sidewalk on the planet and a must visit when in LA. The place is located in Hollywood Boulevard and the Vine street. Hollywood Boulevard in itself is a major street, and the walk of Fame features big names in the field of entertainment from the four corners of the world. Celebrities and stars consider it a great honor to get their name on that sidewalk.
Next in line for the hop on hop off bus tour is one of the most recognized signs one has ever seen, The Hollywood Sign. This 44 ft tall structure stands proudly on Mt. Lee in the Hollywood Hills area of the Santa Monica mountain ranges. Interestingly the sign was originally an ad for real estate development in the locality and was called the Hollywoodland at that time. Now it serves as shoot locations for popular movies. For space and science aficionados, Griffith Observatory is the place to visit. Just about 5 minutes walk from the Hollywood sign, this observatory sits to the south side of the Mt. Hollywood, Griffith Park. One can get a beautiful view of the Hollywood sign from here and enjoy the exclusive array of space science artifacts. Due to its nominal distance from the Hollywood sign, the Griffith Observatory is quite a popular tourist attraction. The observatory is free for visitors since its opening in 1935.
Hop on the bus and head towards the shopping arena of the city, Rodeo Drive. This 2-mile long street spanning from Beverly Hills across the city is known for its high-end fashion boutiques and is bliss for the affluent folks. If one can afford, an extremely stylish and creative attire is waiting for for you to appease your fashion guts here in the Rodeo Drive. Now hop on and hop off to something offbeat, unconventional side of LA, the Venice Beach. Life is really a beach when you hop off at this western coast beauty. The beach is queued with quirky boutiques and vibrant food joints. Check out the lively action at the skate park and the drum circle which takes place daily at the beach.
As the journey continues, the hunger hormones will start acting up. So, the next appropriate place visit can be the Grand Central Market. This market in the downtown brings about diverse, and lip-smacking cuisine from various communities and has been serving since 1917. Fishmongers, butchers, Jewish delis, greengrocers, flowers, baked goods, coffee are few of the items and vendors you will get here.
