Hollywood - The Land of Dreams

If you are a movie-buff, then Hollywood in California is your dream destination. Land of dreams, Hollywood became part of the Greater Los Angeles area in 1910, and just one year later the first motion picture studio was established. Synonymous with the film industry, today Hollywood is portraying visions of glamour and nostalgia to a degree unmatched anywhere else.

If you are visiting this dreamland of
Hollywood, then you simply cannot afford to miss the infamous 50-foot Hollywood Sign set atop the Hollywood Hills. Hollywood Boulevard is also a must visit destination. At the Hollywood Walk of Fame which encompasses 18 blocks of large metal stars are embedded in the sidewalk that honor Hollywood's finest stars of past and the present. Along Hollywood, the Boulevard Grauman's Chinese Theatre is another must-see attraction. The theatre itself opened in 1927, the same year movie idols began leaving their hand and footprints outside the building. Today tourists can admire over 200 prints that exist.
