About this experience

Take this in-app audio tour to see what else Hollywood has to offer apart from the most popular tourist spots. This tour will show you some lesser-known stops and give a different perspective on Hollywood and its charm.

The tour starts at the Magic Castle, a fairytale-like chateau, which houses a secret magic club. Then you will make your way to another neighborhood's best-kept secret — a place to enjoy one of the best views of Hollywood Sign.

You will pass by the Highland Gardens Hotel, located in the area with multiple recording studios, and will hear what famous singers and musicians used to stay here while recording their new albums.

You will see the Second City comedy theater, which has given Hollywood its funniest characters, and the Cinerama Dome, which still projects 70 mm films making it an apple of discord between celebrities.

Finally, you will be fascinated by the installation of the Four Ladies of Hollywood, which features four women who made their mark on Hollywood by not just their accomplishments but because of the barriers they broke to succeed.

Get ready for an exciting walk-through in Hollywood!
