Spread out over ten acres, these beautiful gardens offer a tranquil day out to see the largest sculpture garden in the US in addition to a zoo, a variety of historic and nature trails, excursions and tours that take full advantage of the lush location.

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.

One of the highlights of La Palma is the Roque de Los Muchachos Observatory containing the world's largest optical telescope. Book a daytime tour and see professional telescopes used to watch the stars, or join an evening astronomy tour to take a close-up look at the night sky yourself. The island's highest point is a stone's throw away from the observatory and makes for a great hike.
