Hollywood Star Walk
Los Angeles is associated primarily with Hollywood, and Hollywood is associated with the stars, so there is nothing surprising in the fact that the Alley of Stars is rightfully considered the most popular attraction in the city. Every year, more than 10 million tourists walk along the Avenue of Stars, reading the names of idols with delight and awe.
Hollywood Walk of Fame
“Immortalized in Concrete” is about the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The courtyard of the magnificent Grauman’s Chinese Theater is completely covered with concrete slabs with prints of hands, feet, and in exceptional cases, the paws of celebrities. Unlike the Alley of Stars, the local “party” is not massive at all.
Alcatraz
The most famous prison in the United States and, perhaps, the whole world, Alcatraz is not only a correctional institution (by the way, it has been functioning only as a museum for more than 30 years), but also a small picturesque island 15 minutes by sea from the San Francisco marina.
Beverly Hills
To see Hollywood in all its glossy splendor, you need to visit the richest area of Los Angeles, the name of which causes a voluptuous shiver among all fans of the once popular TV series “Beverly Hills 90210”.
Hollywood
In Hollywood — the Los Angeles area – there is a record number of movie and show business stars per square meter. After all, it is here that the epicenter of the world film industry is located. Life is in full swing in this part of the “city of angels” around the clock and immersed in its colorful bustle.
Death Valley
Death Valley is a huge desert in the southeastern United States, located on the border of the states of California and Nevada — the lowest, hottest and driest place in North America. People come here for the sake of unearthly landscapes.
Yosemite
Yosemite National Park is one of the first nature reserves in the USA, thanks to its unique virgin nature, it has been protected by UNESCO since 1984. The nature reserve with the highest waterfall in North America and 1300 km of hiking trails is located on the slopes of the Sierra Nevada mountains, in the state of California.
Grauman’s Chinese Theater
The most delightfully beautiful building in Hollywood, Grauman’s Chinese Theater is a hymn to the refined architectural style of the Celestial Empire and a tribute to the significant Chinese diaspora, without which it is impossible to imagine Los Angeles over the past 75 years.
San Francisco Museum of Modern Art
The Museum of Modern Art in San Francisco can be called the main and most visited museum of the city. In addition to the vast collection of works of art of the 19th and 21st centuries, numbering more than 29,000 works, the museum is also notable for its ultramodern building.
San Andreas Fault
The San Andreas fault is the most famous crack in the earth’s surface. It became known to a wide range of people after the earthquake that actually destroyed San Francisco in 1906. Its location in densely populated California also contributed to its popularity as a tourist destination.
