In recent years the Hollywood Boulevard area has been really spruced up. Take a walk along the street to see the pavement stars, known as the “Walk of Fame”. They run from Gower Avenue to Le Brea Avenue and you’ll also find some on Vine Street. The centre piece now of this area is the Kodak theatre where the Oscar’s take place each year. It’s also surrounded by shops and restaurants. The other must-see highlight on Hollywood Blvd is still Grauman’s Chinese Theater which is next to the new shopping complex. This is an extract from our free Los Angeles City Guide.
