Hollywood Walk of Fame (Los Angeles, CA)
Hollywood Walk of Fame is located on Hollywood Boulevard. This place is a must visit if you are near Hollywood. It is free and fun! There are numerous shops and eateries nearby. While you stroll along Hollywood Boulevard, make sure to check out the 2,500 plus stars bearing the names of a bunch of famous people in the entertainment industry. The walkway could get really pack during the days, so if you are not a fan of large crowds, then you can always go at night. The only con about it is the people; they can be a little too much and be overwhelming. But, there are a lot of live performances here and there, so it makes up for it.
