-
9536 Heather Rd - While the mansion itself isn’t visible from the road, there’s quite a compelling story behind Paul McCartney’s Hollywood abode. You’ll hear all about that by the gate which marks the edge of the property.
-
11986 Lockridge Rd - Bruno Mars estate befits his larger-than-life reputation. With over 130 million records sold and more than one year being Hollywood’s highest-earning musician under his belt, Mars likes to live in style, and it shows!
-
North Spring Street - This intersection was the shooting location for the tragic climax of Roman Polanski’s Chinatown, one of the greatest films noir ever made. A staple of Hollywood cinema since the 1940s, film noir blended the cynical, hardboiled American crime fiction of the 20s and 30s with striking, moody cinematography inspired by German Expressionist filmmaking. Film noir stories often follow highly flawed protagonists who find themselves embroiled in conspiracies and complicated investigations far beyond their reach.
-
Los Angeles Union Station - Look on your right is Union Station, the busiest train hub in the entire western United States. It has been featured in dozens of films and television shows over the decades, but only occasionally as an actual train station!
-

-
Bradbury Building - See that brown, Victorian office building on your right? That’s the Bradbury Building, one of LA’s National Historic Landmarks. The Bradbury has been used in a ton of movies, including Double Indemnity and (500) Days of Summer, but it’s most well known as the location for reclusive genetic designer J.F. Sebastian’s apartment in the original Blade Runner. The film returns to this location a number of times, including for the climactic rooftop showdown between human detective Deckard, played by Harrison Ford, and his Replicant quarry Roy Batty. After an extended chase, the expiring Roy delivers one of science fiction’s most famous monologues:
-
453 S Spring St - On the ground floor of this tower to your right is The Last Bookstore, the largest used book store in Los Angeles. Once a bank, this space has been transformed into a wonderland for book lovers, with awe-inspiring displays in every nook and cranny of the two-story atrium. It’s also a popular spot for photoshoots and music videos, having hosted artists like The Kid LAROI and the late Kobe Bryant.
-
Palace Theatre - The Palace Theater, most famous for doubling as the mysterious Club Silencio in David Lynch’s surrealist masterpiece Mulholland Drive. One of Lynch’s finest works, Mulholland Drive is both a love letter and a scathing indictment of Hollywood itself, created by an artist who has spent the majority of his career on the outside looking in.
-
Cicada Restaurant and Lounge - “Look to your left for a vintage, Art Deco looking place on the bottom floor of this building. See the carefully crafted iron grills over the windows? You’re looking at the Cicada Club, a night club that’s been a Hollywood staple since it opened in the 20s. In film, it’s most famous as the location where Julia Roberts flung a snail across the room in Pretty Woman, although it’s also been featured in other movies like Bruce Almighty and Once Upon a Time… In Hollywood.
“ -
The Biltmore Los Angeles - The Millennium Biltmore Hotel Los Angeles, also known as the fictional Hotel Sedgewick in Ghostbusters. In the film, the Ghostbusters capture their very first ghost here at the hotel, and accidentally destroy the ballroom in the process.
-
Echo Park Lake - That small body of water to your left is Echo Park Lake, one of the many urban lakes that dot the LA landscape. Look out over the water at some of the islands. Do they look familiar at all?
-
The Virgil - 1920s-style saloon with ornate, throwback decor offering haute classic cocktails.
-
John Marshall High School - John Marshall High School is a public high school located in the Los Feliz district of the city of Los Angeles at 3939 Tracy Street in Los Angeles, California. Marshall, which serves grades 9 through 12, is a part of the Los Angeles Unified School District.

-
Griffith Observatory - Griffith Observatory is a facility in Los Angeles, California, sitting on the south-facing slope of Mount Hollywood in Los Angeles’ Griffith Park. It commands a view of the Los Angeles Basin, including Downtown Los Angeles to the southeast, Hollywood to the south, and the Pacific Ocean to the southwest.
-
Bronson Caves - Holy Toledo, Batman, we’re coming up on Bronson Canyon! This series of caves has been used in Westerns and sci-fi films since the 30s, but it’s most famous as the location of the original Batcave in the 60s Batman TV show. See that little tunnel up ahead? By using carefully chosen camera angles, the mouth of that tunnel was transformed into the entrance to Bruce Wayne’s underground lair. Because the “cave” was really the mouth of a tunnel, the Batmobile could be filmed shooting out of the Batcave at high speeds that wouldn’t have been safe with a real cave.
-
Hollywood Sign - The Hollywood Sign is an American landmark and cultural icon overlooking Hollywood, Los Angeles, California. It is situated on Mount Lee, in the Hollywood Hills area of the Santa Monica Mountains.
