On Your Own Suggestions
- Visit the Griffith Park Observatory, where you can see the stars, planets, and the Hollywood sign. Also see the statue of James Dean in the location where a scene from Rebel Without a Cause was filmed.
- Visit the Hollywood Forever Cemetery and see the mausoleums and gravesite of the famous stars from the black and white era of motion pictures. Famous celebrities like Rudolph Valentino, Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., Cecil B. DeMille, and Jayne Mansfield have made this their final resting place.
- Enjoy a meal at Café Aroma (Studio City). Originally a charming home, it was transformed into a full-service café with several outdoor dining areas in a tranquil backyard setting. Serving all-day breakfast, a must for a hip L.A. hangout, Aroma is popular with celebrities stopping in from nearby studios. All the home-cooked dishes are prepared with the finest local ingredients. Aroma also offers gourmet coffee and fresh-baked cakes, pastries, and sweets.
- Runyon Canyon Park (Hollywood) is a 160-acre park in Los Angeles with many hiking trails. The highest point in the park, at an elevation of 1,320 feet (402 meters), has some of the most spectacular views of the city, including the Hollywood sign, Griffith Park Observatory, the downtown skyline, and west to Santa Monica and the Pacific Ocean. Because of its proximity to residential areas of Hollywood and Hollywood Hills, celebrity sightings are not uncommon.
- Paradise Cove (Malibu) is a private beach that makes for a fine walk with superb views of the “diamond necklace” coastline, stretching from Malibu down to the South Bay area of Los Angeles and even Catalina Island. Stand on the old pier that flanks the south end of the beach and take in the idyllic ocean view. The spectacular sunsets are priceless. The Cove’s owner requires visitors to pay $25 to park at his beach, but the ticket is validated when you eat at the Paradise Cove Restaurant.
- Join the fun as part of a TV studio audience. You’ll have the chance to spend some time in the studio with the stars and see what really goes on behind the scenes during the filming of a television show. Tickets are free, and taping schedules vary.
