About Hollywood

Hollywood's most famous attraction, the Walk of Fame, is completely free, and so is much of what surrounds it: the forecourt handprints at the TCL Chinese Theatre, the views toward the Hollywood Sign, Barnsdall Art Park's hilltop lawns and the trails of nearby Runyon Canyon.

Away from the boulevard, Hollywood has free libraries, playgrounds, public art and a regular calendar of free cultural events — a surprisingly rich neighborhood for a no-cost day out.
