I am laying over in Los Angeles for next 16 hours
to see the iconic sign
checking out my favourite stars on Hollywood Walk of Fame
scrolling down the famous Sunset Boulevard
chill out at the Santa Monica Beach, and Venice Beach
End the night by the riding the old-fashioned trolley at the Grove
and enjoying the cheap food in Chinatown
All Free, Anything I can do, you can do!
So let’s get out of the airport and drive to our first attraction in the heart of Hollywood
located between Hollywood Boulevard and Highland Avenue
Well you can basically go to any place where we are going today by public transit
but if you are going to do layover here
don't waste your time
just rent a car
and drive!
time is really precious and you don't want to waste time looking for free parking
Now!
what you do is go park at Highland & Hollywood
this Plaza right here
go into the Starbucks
buy a drink!
and get your parking validated
and you get two hours for $2.00
This is a shopping mall and an entertainment complex right at the Hollywood Boulevard and Highland Avenue
and offers breathtaking views of the Hollywood Hills…
so before we start our tour
let’s get number one do to list out of the way
a selfie with that iconic sign
well I am very certain everyone know the famous symbol right behind me
and this is also where you can get a nice photo with it!
So, let’s began by stargazing…
Well, our first stop will be here at the Hollywood Walk of Fame
I am sure someday my name will be here
but for now, I'll show you some of my favourite celebrities
let's have a look!
The Hollywood Walk of Fame comprises more than 2,500 brass stars embedded in the sidewalks along Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Street
It is a definitely a must see tourist destination
a place where can touch your favourite stars.
Well, I am sure everyone knows who she is...
I grew up watching her movies
It also includes names of this idiot!!!
Right on the Hollywood Walk of Fame is the Chinese Theatre
it was commissioned following the success of the nearby Grauman's Egyptian Theatre, opened in 1922
Today, it serve as a first-run movie theatre, but also home to many premieres
Here we are... Sunset Boulevard!
Next, we’ll head off to the world famous Sunset Strip
But once again…
let’s deal with parking…
So, once you get to the Sunset Boulevard
be prepared to pay a Starbucks another visit
to hand over little bit more money
because I guaranteed you, you will need their FREE parking
Now, the Sunset Strip is actually the name given to a mile and half long stretch along the Sunset Boulevard
this is famous for boutique restaurants, rock clubs and various types of night clubs
Our next stop is Santa Monica Beach…
one of things I really want to show everyone is the beautiful Santa Monica Promenade here in Santa Beach
But...
as you can see...
parking and traffic jams
by a good luck, I did able to find a parking lot right here
but there is one issue
right now is sunset
So...
between sunset and sunrise, its reserved for residents with permit
but I don't have it, so we just can't go too, too far
The beach is located along Pacific Coast Highway in Santa Monica
It is 3.5 miles long and has parks, picnic areas, playgrounds, manned with lifeguard,
a bike path with rental bikes available,
and wooden pathways for those with disabilities
However, its number one attractions is its speculator views
Well, I guess this is as far as I can go without my car being towed and ticketed
So, let me show you something really, really cool!
You see that fairy-wheel in that background?
I was here first time in 2007 and just fell in love with this place
and I have taken a photo with two of my best friends
so let me show you that photo
before the complete darkness kicks in
I decided to visit another famous beach
The Venice Beach and yes, there is parking this time!!!
The Venice Beach is considered a global tourist magnet that receives millions of visitors a year
It includes the promenade that runs parallel to the beach
and one of the most famous features is 400 meter long Fishing pier
One of the last places we’ll visit is the another retail and entertainment complex on parts of the historical Farmers Market
It’s famous for its free trolley
a large center park with and music-fountain play shows every hour
Let’s also popular with the want to be… future host on this travel show
so please give a applause to this unknown, ballsy talent…
she does have some potentials!
so what so nice about this place is...
it's really nice...
and you know the ambient is just speculator at The Grove, what else can you ask for?
Okay, let me do that again before I lose my job!
So, welcome to The Grove!
this is actually a concentration of high end department stores
located on the bolivar
it looks very fancy...
so what so nice about this place is
it give you 60 minutes of free parking
and if you validate it with one of those stores
you can get another 60 minutes free of charge
another great things about it is right down there is the Farmers Market
so, let's go and have a look!
The historical Farmers Market is an area consisting of food stalls and sit-down eateries
featuring more than 100 vendors
including ready-to-eat foods, grocers, and tourist shops
Unlike most farmers' markets, which are held only at intervals
the Farmers' Market of Los Angeles is a permanent installation and is open seven days a week
So, at the Farmers Market, you can pick quite a large variety of food here
there is sushi there and varieties of hot dog
But, if the Farmers Market is bit too pricy for you...
don’t worry… there is always Chinatown
Since 1938, the Chinatown is the commercial center for Chinese and other Asian businesses in Central Los Angeles
So, if you want to check it out, come early as most businesses close down at sunset
And this is my final stop before getting back to airport…
so with that being done, I hope you have amazing time in Los Angeles
