USA ROAD TRIP - THE BEST VIEW TO HOLLYWOOD SIGN

USA ROAD TRIP - THE BEST VIEW TO HOLLYWOOD SIGN

Are you ready to visit LA and Hollywood Sign can’t miss your list? Of course it can’t!
 
Looking fort he perfect shooting spot with a view to Hollywood Sign can be really tricky. The reason for this, is that the whole place there is surrounded by residential areas and local, amazing neighbourhoods. As you already imagine, the residents are not so happy with the perpetual tourists‘ "investigations“ for the best photography spot. Online mapping is not that helpful too.
 
That’s also why some roads are blocked, having only route signs which lead you to different directions.The same goes with online maps which can get you out of your way or just drive you to a not-so-good-for-shooting spot. And we don’t want that, right?
 
Don’t worry, I’m here for you.
 
I recently visited LA during an Amazing Road Trip in Four States and I also made a perfect pit stop at Hollywood Sign. I found the best possible route and I shared it with you on my INSTAGRAM account. So, we actually reached the most amazing spot together; I showed you step-by-step how to get there and take the best photograph ever too!
 
You can take a look at my HIGHLIGHTS to see the whole route and descriptions from every spot!
 
However, I am going to give you the EXACT route you should follow in order to take the PERFECT PHOTO!

HOW TO REACH THE PERFECT SPOT:



- Park your car Lake Hollywood Park (3160 Canyon Lake Drive)

- Walk upwards in Mulholland Drive street

- Turn to Durand Drive street and then to Ledgewood Drive

- Walk in Rockcliff Drive street and then turn to Deronda Drive

- In the Mullholland & Deronda crossroad look for the green door

- Cross the door and go straight up to Hollywood Sign. It is on your left!

Follow the above route step-by-step

Make regular stops at the wonderful neighbourhoods; you’re gonna love them!

The green door will lead you to the Hollywood Sign

You can also take some nice photographs at the first spot, some metres after where you are going to park your car, in Lake Hollywood Park. In this case, you won’t need to follow the whole route I gave you but the view there, is from a further as well as different aspect (see picture below). 
 

BUT BE AWARE OF THE FOLLOWING:



- You cannot enter the door during sunset hours; the door is closed sunset to sunrise.

- Don’t leave your car at "NO PARKING“ spots and don’t risk reaching the door with your car; people who are not residents in the area are not allowed. Unless you reach the spot by taxi.

- The best and safest parking spot is the Lake Hollywood Park.

- Comfortable shoes are necessary if you want to walk until the last spot. 

- Be there early in the morning and make sure you have water with you. The route is not that easy. 

- Respect the locals‘ privacy and property. Despite how much you like the amazing house during that walk, be respectful and limit your photos to zero when it comes to other properties! 




ENJOY!
