  • The Hollywood area of Los Angeles is something people come from all over to visit. While Hollywood itself doesn't have a ton of things to do, there are a ton of awesome spots to check out in the surrounding area. Here are 18 of my favorites and let me know what I left off in the comments.

    Gotta have lunch or dinner at Musso & Frank. If you can score an invite and packed evening wear in your suitcase, the Magic Castle is memorable. And, best of all, the people watching!

    Your list is approved. One added bonus, if you're visiting Paramount - right across the street (Melrose Ave) is Raleigh Studios. You can also visit this working studio lot and have a coffee, breakfast or lunch at their cafe it's open to the public M-F, 8 AM to 3:30 PM. Just enter the Bronson gate and tell them you want to go to the cafe, it's that easy. There's no charge to enter. And there's usually plenty of parking on the side streets there or if you're already parked for the Paramount tour. There isn't a tour but you'll see crews working on the lot as you stroll to the cafe. The Cafe was originally an old set. The lot's even older than Paramount.

    One place I would recommend is Barnsdall Art Park and Hollyhock House. It is a small hill with a great view. Atop are several buildings used for art purposes like display or classes. Hollyhock House is one of most unique buildings of its kind. I often come here to sit on the grass and view. I came here when the space shuttle piggybacked and flew over/passed by the Hollywood sign and Griffith Observatory.

    Do you have a recommendation for a good viewpoint in the late eveneings? We visited L.A. last easter and tried to visit Griffith Observatory but it was closed really early. From there wie tried to find another nice viewpoint with a great overlook at all the city lights by night but we had no success. The view from Hollywood Bowl seems exactly the viewpoint we are searching for but as you said it also is closing realy early. So I hope that you can recommend another option cause we will be there again by the end of october :-) Thanks in advance and thanks for your nice and informative content!
