Los Angeles: Neighborhoods

Hollywood Step into the footprints of your favorite stars at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre and then make tracks of your own amid Hollywood Boulevard's newly buzzing nightlife scene.

West Hollywood Rock out on the infamous Sunset Strip or infiltrate the heart of the region’s gay community on Santa Monica Boulevard.

Beverly Hills/West L.A. Worship your favorite canceled TV shows at the Museum of Radio and Television and go nose-job gawking amid finely manicured people and palms.

Santa Monica/Venice Beach Bike the boardwalk alongside snake charmers and buffed out rollerbladers before hitting the low-key galleries on Abbot Kinney Boulevard.

Los Feliz/Silver Lake/Echo Park Think coffee-stained screenplays, hipper-than-thou clothing boutiques, mid-century bungalows designed by Richard Neutra, and the underground music scene that gave birth to Beck.

Downtown L.A. Frank Gehry’s Walt Disney Concert Hall is the crown jewel of a newly revitalized downtown that includes the ever-hopping Chinatown, the Museum of Contemporary Art, and the trendiest rooftop pool scene in town.
