Driving around the hills
Jul 2019
We drove around the Hollywood Hills on a couple of different days. There are many winding roads to navigate, but it’s worth it to see the huge mansions. Get to the top to get a nice view of the Hollywood Sign.

Take a tour
Jul 2019
We drove around some of the Hollywood Hills travelling from Hollywood Blvd to Griffith park and then back again, some special locations past and some amazing homes, well worth a viewing.

Iconic Hollywood Hills
Dec 2019
Hollywood Hills with its iconic big sign is a must see for pretty much everybody visiting LA. The sign itself is just a sign, but it's white Hollywood text somehow makes you feel good when you see it. Driving around the hills and wondering the size and form of different houses is entertaining.

Excellent Scenery, drive or hike
Sep 2019
You can drive around the hills or hike from the Griffith Observatory and get close to the Hollywood sign. Either way, the views are excellent of the hills and the impressive houses and of LA itself.

Great Hiking Can be very hot in the Summer
Aug 2019
Best way to enter the park is from the bottom. You can have an Uber take you to the top of N Vista Street and the entrance is on your right. Best to Uber as there is very little parking. Also the first part of the hike is steep and the way down is much easier when you are tired.

Hollywood hill is worth the drive through. Impressive mansions,beautiful gardens and entrance ways. As always, it is also beautiful at night with all the properties being lit up. It makes one dream!

Great to see!
Jun 2019 • Couples
This is worth seeing. Great views with a steep and narrow road up to it. Quite a distance away and that was the highest point our guide could get to in an SUV. Different to what I imagined, but now I can relate to it when I see it on tv etc. Another tick off my bucket list!

Was an experience!
Apr 2019 • Family
We decided to drive up into the Hollywood Hills to get a closer look at the sign. The drive up into the hills is on a super steep road, very narrow, tight hard-to-see-around turns and houses literally right on the edge of the street. We drove up as high as we could - Mulholland Dr was blocked off to tourist traffic and there was literally no way to park and walk or anything. It was even really tough to turn around! Going up the hill you got glimpses here and there of the sign, but not a big, whole sign visible type view. Actually, before we started driving up the steep hill, we saw all sorts of people running out to the middle of the street to get pictures of the sign. We stopped too and did the same thing, and we were glad we did as that was really the best view - up on the hill you really don't get that picture.

Take a drive thru the Hills
Jan 2019 • Couples
Great views! Twists, turns but worth the views! Lovely homes and canyon drive! You must drive - not walk - best views are after you climb up to top and wind thru the canyon. Beautiful!

Am staying in L.A. for three nights and am torn between lodging down in/near the city or up in the Hollywood Hills. The idea of standing on a deck and looking out over the lights of the city is appealing.
But if I stay in the Hills, am I handicapping myself as a tourist? Am I going to be so far away from everything and have such a hassle of a drive that I will regret being up there? Doesn't look like there are any small shops or restaurants in the Hills, appears to be all residential and parkland.
Thanks in advance.

No, there aren't any retail establishments up in the hills, which is why people pay millions to live up there. People who live in the Hollywood Hills value their privacy and safety, which is why there are no stores, restaurants, or bars/clubs up there. Hollywood along the boulevard already has a big problem with homelessness and crime, which is why people are willing to pay a fortune to live up in the hills. As far as driving to retailers and restaurants is concerned, it's not that big of a hassle. Or to put it another way, it's not a bigger hassle than normal L.A. traffic. If you want to compromise between the views and being in the middle of all the action, get a room at Loews in Hollywood at the Hollywood and Highland shopping center. Get a room relatively high up facing the south side of L.A. Or get an AirBnB up one of the streets from Franklin Avenue (north of the street) in Franklin Village (Hollywood), which is a trendy/hipster area of Hollywood. Find an AirBnB off of Bronson Avenue in the Franklin District, which is walking distance near stores on Franklin Avenue. Driving to restaurants/shops on Hollywood & Sunset is quick and easy.
