Stretching along Hollywood Boulevard, the Hollywood Walk of Fame is a tribute to entertainment legends, with over 2,700 brass stars embedded in the sidewalks honoring actors, musicians, directors, and more. And a few steps away, the TCL Chinese Theatre is impossible to miss, with its dramatic, pagoda-style facade. The real magic, though, is in the forecourt, where generations of stars, from Marilyn Monroe to Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, have left their handprints and signatures in cement. Since its first movie premiere in 1927, the theater has been at the center of Hollywood’s biggest moments, and even today, it’s one of the best places to catch a film in true Hollywood style.

The Museo Extremeño e Iberoamericano de Arte Contemporáneo (MEIAC) is a fantastic museum and cultural space that transcends borders, connecting Spanish, Portuguese and Latin American artists, highlighting those from the Extremadura region.

The Gibbes Museum of Art has between 6 and 8 exhibitions every year, including the permanent Charleston Story exhibit. The museum also offers lectures, tours and classes. After its renovation, the museum reopened again in 2016, transforming into an even more vivid cultural hot spot.

Between Crescent Heights Boulevard and Doheny Drive, you can indulge in all the glitz, glamour, and spectacle of Los Angeles without traveling more than a few blocks. Sip a poolside or rooftop drink at exclusive bars, or hear live music at rock clubs like the iconic The Viper Room.
