Seeing Hollywood

Hollywood is fun to explore on foot but, by car, but the best way to see Hollywood and all of its sights is by taking a narrated bus tour of the city, especially if it is your first visit. Most of the tours also venture into nearby neighborhoods, particularly Beverly Hills, the area where many stars have their homes. Though the buses are not allowed to come to a complete stop in front of the houses, you'll still get a good look at them.
