Hollywood Boulevard
Fifteen blocks of sidewalk hold a century of names — look down as much as up.

The central stretch is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the Hollywood Boulevard Commercial and Entertainment District. The Walk of Fame runs the fifteen blocks between La Brea Avenue and Gower Street, the Dolby Theatre anchors the Highland intersection, and the crossing at Vine Street carried the symbolic weight of Hollywood for generations.
What to look for
- The Walk of Fame stars covering fifteen blocks from La Brea Avenue east to Gower Street
- The Dolby Theatre at the corner of Hollywood Boulevard and Highland Avenue
- The Hollywood and Vine intersection, once shorthand for Hollywood itself
Three Red Line Metro stations — Hollywood/Highland, Hollywood/Vine, and Hollywood/Western — run directly under the boulevard, making a car unnecessary.
