Hollywood Sign

Newest Review: ... sign in the distance but we were lucky enough to stay at a hotel which was by the sign so we walked out and we could see it straight away. Every Hollywood tour bus will take you by the sign as it is by a lot of attractions including Graumans Chinese theatre and the Kodak theatre with the walk of fame right by so you should be able to get someone to take you to see it. You see a good view of the sign from the Kodak theatre which is where the Oscars are held so head there and look at the hills. The appearance of the sign is basically the word Hollywood in huge white letters but because it is on a hill, it is not a straight word and looks ... more

When Dave decided he wanted to go and visit Los Angeles on our Honeymoon, I have to admit that I did not fancy it. I said to him I don't mind going but my one condition is that I see the Hollywood sign as it is something that is so famous and always linked to LA and celebrities so I had to see it. Well we went and I saw it and I will say it is a very nice sign and worth the visit just to see it although it is just a sign at the end of the day. The Hollywood sign is probably something you are familiar with. It is the Hollywood letters which are huge white letters and on top of the Hollywood hills which looks down over Hollywood itself which is the home of ... Read the complete review

The Hollywood Sign is a universally famous landmark situated in the Hollywood Hills in Los Angeles, California. The sign overlooks the city of Hollywood, the show business capital of the world, home to countless movie studios, record labels and live television shows and also to a whole book of famous celebrities. You can see it from the plane as you fly in to LA, and you can also see it from a good distance away from Hollywood, it does not take much driving from the airport to be able to see the sign in the distance. I visited Hollywood at the beginning of this month, staying on Hollywood Boulevard itself, and the Hollywood sign was something that I became increasingly ... Read the complete review

With all of the publicity of the Oscars going on at the moment, I thought I should bring you news of the plight surrounding the famous Hollywood sign. It sits atop a hillside in the vicinity of one of the richest and most famous film studio areas in the world, Hollywood, California. It was built 78 years ago in 1923 by the Hollywoodland Real Estate Group and was intended to last for only a year and a half yet its still there after all of this time. The huge White letters spelling HOLLYWOOD span 450 feet across the hillside and stand 50 feet tall. It fell into total disrepair and in 1973 was taken onboard by the Hollywood Sign trust who ...

Most people on earth has heard of Hollywood. I believe the number of people who has seen the big 'Hollywood' sign (from magazine, tv, movies, newpaper etc) is not much less than that. But how many people has come close to the 9 giant letters put on the high mountain? I don't know but we tried to drive up the mountain to reach the sign. We spent the whole morning wondering our way on the winding and slanting road, with the helps from people living nearby. Possibly because of our bad communication skill, we thought we could reached very closely to the sign from what they said. Another trouble is many of them pointed us to different directions. ...
