Hollywood's most iconic locations

The United States is filled with tourist destinations, but according to Ahmed Nashaat, an Los Angeles--based travel blogger, nothing comes close to the glitz and glamour of Hollywood. Before the pandemic hit, Hollywood received millions of tourists each month. But now that the country is in recovery mode, the city of bright lights is opening bit by bit. And while one can do regular tourist activities while maintaining social distancing, they may also do so in the comfort and safety of their vehicle. So, if you are thinking about visiting Hollywood, here is a list of some of the most iconic locations in town.

The Hollywood Sign

The famous Hollywood sign is a staple of the iconic city. Unfortunately, it's not as big as most people believe it to be. One needs to be at the right spot to best view this landmark. And according to Los Angeles resident Ahmed Nashaat, that place is either Sunset Ranch or up the hill near Lake Hollywood Park.

Hollywood Walk of Fame

The Hollywood Walk of Fame is a popular destination for tourists to visit. There are fewer people in Los Angeles right now, so it's an ideal time if you want some peace and quiet with your friends or family. If you are here to remember the names of Hollywood's best and most beloved characters and actors, visiting today would save you the claustrophobia and the headaches of crowds. The stretch is long, so wear comfortable shoes.

Universal Studios

No trip to Hollywood is complete without visiting Universal Studios. With an incredible variety of attractions and rides, it's no wonder that people have been going here for years, says Ahmed Nashaat of Los Angeles. Its most popular feature remains to be the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. And as it celebrates its 20th year, there are big surprises in store for everyone who visits. But if you're not a Potterhead, the studio tours are still worth it.
