Getting There

The congested traffic in Los Angeles is notorious world-wide. Unfortunately, so are the public transportation systems. Buses are over-crowded and the subway doesn’t run to many of the locations you may want to visit, so the best way to get around Hollywood and the Los Angeles area is by car or taxi. The Hollywood neighbourhood itself can be walked relatively easily, so wear comfertable shoes and walk between the area’s most popular attractions. As you walk, watch out for scam-artists and pickpockets, as you would in any other large city. However, don’t be alarmed—most of Hollywood’s residents are friendly.
