After we had heard from the Roller coaster ride We went into the hustle and bustle of Los Angeles for a quick sightseeing program. This is our personal top 5 sights in LA.
Top 5 Los Angeles – Hollywood Sign
Our first stop was the famous Hollywood Sign. The sign is located above the Hollywood district and is best reached by car via Beachwood Dr. Shortly before the Sunset Ranch the Hollyridge Trail starts, which we followed uphill for 5 minutes. Where you also have a good view of the famous Hollywood lettering, we will tell you in in this post.
Top 5 Los Angeles – Avenue of the Stars
Afterwards we drove to the "Avenue of the Stars" or the Hollywood Boulevard. As everyone has probably seen on TV, stars with the names of famous people are embedded in the footpath along the street. But many of the names were not known to us. In front of Grauman's Chinese Theatre, the world-famous cinema with the hand and shoe prints of numerous film stars, a premiere event was taking place.
Top 5 Los Angeles – Griffith Observatory
To get a good overview of the size of Los Angeles, we drove to the Griffith Observatory after sunset. This planetarium is located at a height of 300 meters on the south side of Mount Hollywood and offers visitors a view over the entire region between the center of Los Angeles and the bay of Santa Monica.
Top 5 Los Angeles – Malibu
The next day we drove from our hotel in northwest Los Angeles to the beach in Malibu. Here, where many rich and beautiful people (including Charlie Harper from the series "Two and a half Man") live, we enjoyed the beach and the beautiful blue sky. Unfortunately, the Pacific was much too cold and so we only had to look at the surfers in wetsuits.
Top 5 Los Angeles Hot Dog at Pink's
Before we made our way to our next destination, Las Vegas, we had a hot dog at Pink's for lunch. According to the Internet, this is supposed to be the best hot dogs, of course I had to convince myself. You can choose from a variety of different compositions. There are standard hot dogs, such as the Chili Dog, but also specials (e.g. the Lord of the Rings Dog). In any case, you should plan a little time for the visit, because the queue can be very long, even outside of typical meal times.
