Understand

Hollywood, as the self-declared entertainment capital of the world, is elusive both conceptually and physically. A neighborhood in the city of Los Angeles, the core of Hollywood for a tourist are its three fascinating boulevards: Sunset Boulevard, Hollywood Boulevard, and Melrose Boulevard. All three are worth seeing. Hollywood for its entertainment history; Sunset for its clubs and nightlife; Melrose for its shopping, nightlife, and eclecticism.

Hollywood has done a fantastic job marketing itself as synonymous with the film industry. In reality, only one of the major studios is in Hollywood (Paramount). The largest concentration of studios are northeast in the Universal City-Burbank corridor (Universal, Warner Brothers, Disney, NBC). Most of the rest are to the west-- Century City (Fox), the Fairfax District (CBS), and Culver City (Sony).

If you want to see where films are shot, take a tour at one of major studios. Universal "bundles" a full amusement park with its tour. Several other offer smaller, but interesting tours.

If you want to see celebrities, the experience is less convenient (for you and them). The chances of bumping into a celebrity are very low-- unless you're willing to do a lot of "hanging out" at expensive restraurants in Beverly Hills, on Sunset Plaza, or in Malibu. You can easily see where they live, however, by taking a tour or following a star map (remember Drew Barrymore in the Bad News Bears?).
