What You'll See

Welcome
Welcome to beautiful sunny Hollywood! Today, we’ll be taking you on a little trip to see the lifestyles of the rich and famous. As you drive, be sure to keep an eye out for celebrities because you never know who you’ll see!
Johnny Depp
Depp purchased the home shortly after playing director Ed Wood, a close friend of Lugosi’s, in a 1996 biopic. Although Depp spends most of his time in Paris these days, you’re still encouraged to try and spot the Pirates of the Caribbean star here anyway - you never know, you might get lucky!
Keanu Reeves
Often talked about as the nicest guy in Hollywood, Reeves began his acting career at the age of nine, appearing in a Toronto stage production of Damn Yankees!. He turned to film and television after dropping out of high school, and found his breakout role as one of the slacker leads in Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure.
Leonardo DiCaprio
Turn onto Oriole Way and look to your left. The next house on our tour is Keanu’s next door neighbor - none other than Oscar winning actor Leonardo DiCaprio! Like Reeves, Leo got his start as a child actor, appearing mostly in guest roles on television.
Ariana Grande
The boxy white mansion on your left, with a garage just peeking out from the bushes, belongs to pop superstar Ariana Grande. Ariana purchased this huge estate from Cameron Diaz for $4.9 million in 2022.
Alex da Kid
The enormous white compound on your left, hidden behind that wall of shrubbery, belongs to none other than Alex da Kid. Even if you don’t know him by name, you definitely know his work. This British-born music producer has produced platinum hits for artists like Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, Dr. Dre, Eminem, and Imagine Dragons.
Halle Berry
Check out the Mediterranean-style house with the red roof. Formerly owned by Malcolm in the Middle star Frankie Muniz, it was purchased in 2005 by Halle Berry. She paid $6 million for it, which for the Hollywood hills is basically like a bargain.
Dean Martin
This (relatively) modest brick house behind the brick wall on your right used to belong to the King of Cool himself, Dean Martin. Known for his effortless confidence and charisma, Martin got his start playing the straight man to comedy legend Jerry Lewis. Martin & Lewis, as the act was called, was a huge hit, and the two performed frequently on radio and television.
Al Pacino
About halfway down the block, look to your right for a white house with a garage in front. It belongs to screen legend Al Pacino, star of The Godfather, Serpico, Dog Day Afternoon, Scarface… really too many great films to list.
Lucille Ball
The beautiful white colonial home coming up on your right used to belong to the one and only Lucille Ball. Although Ball won her first job in show business at age 12, it wasn’t until just after her 40th birthday that she got her big break - I Love Lucy, now considered to be one of the greatest sitcoms ever made.
Michael Jackson
Check out the huge white house coming up behind these hedges to your left. It used to belong to the most famous person on this whole tour: Michael Jackson, the King of Pop himself. It’s not Neverland Ranch, but this house just off Sunset Blvd is where Jackson spent the last few years of his life.
Kylie Jenner
Beyond that concrete wall on your left is Kylie Jenner’s sprawling 15,350 square foot mansion. Kylie bought this place for the staggering price tag of $36 million in 2020. Not bad for a 25-year-old!
Jay Z & Beyonce
Neaten up, ladies and gentlemen, because you’re about to roll up on some real Hollywood royalty. See that huge white house up the hill to your left, the one that looks like it cost more money than any of us will ever see? That belongs to none other than musical superstar Beyonce and her equally famous and successful husband, rapper Jay-Z.
Humphrey Bogart
Born on Christmas Day in New York City, Bogart rose to become one of the greatest film stars of all time. He is best known for his starring roles in Casablanca, The Maltese Falcon, and The African Queen. He was also known as an avid smoker and drinker, something that earned him the ire of Jack Warner and Katherine Hepburn.
Sharon Stone
This white modern house coming up on your right belongs to Sharon Stone, Hollywood star and sex symbol. Stone’s ascent to the top started in rural Pennsylvania, where at 17 she won the “Miss Crawford County” beauty pageant.
North Spring Street & Ord 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, 800 N Alameda St
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!
Los Angeles City Hall, 200 N Spring St
The center of government in LA and a frequent shooting location in the city. Unlike Union Station, City Hall often plays itself, most famously in the 1953 film adaptation of War of the Worlds, where it was eventually blown up (in miniature form.) However, it has also doubled as other locations, such as in the old 50s TV show The Adventures of Superman, where it played the Daily Planet building
Bradbury Building, 204 S Broadway
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:
The Last Bookstore, 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.
650 S Spring St
This bank was featured prominently in Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 2 as the location for one of the most thrilling action sequences in superhero history. In the scene, the villainous Doctor Octopus attempts to rob the bank and battles Spider-Man up and down the sides of the building. Filming a special effects heavy scene like that can be extremely difficult, and often takes days to pull off. The scene involved shots filmed here on location as well as footage shot in front of a green screen on a studio lot, all seamlessly edited together in post-production.
Palace Theatre, 630 S Broadway
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 Club, 617 S Olive St
"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. "
Millennium Biltmore Hotel Los Angeles, 506 S Grand Ave
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.
West 5th St and Flower St
As you approach the intersection of West 5th St and Flower St, keep an eye out for any bank robbers in armored vans. This spot was the location for the famous shootout scene in Michael Mann’s Heat, one of the most riveting action sequences of all time. In the scene, Robert De Niro, Val Kilmer, and their crew of bank robbers are trapped by the police, leading to a nearly 10 minute long gunfight.
Pacific Dining Car, 1310 W 6th St
This cute little diner on your left is the Pacific Dining Car, a prime Hollywood lunch location since the 1920s. Because of its central location here in downtown LA, the Pacific Dining Car has hosted all kinds of Hollywood royalty, from Mickey Cohen and Mae West to Nicolas Cage and Johnny Depp. It’s also been featured in films and television shows, most notably in Training Day.
Echo Park Lake - Gilligan's Island, The Fast and the Furious
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?
Music Box Steps
The Music Box is a Laurel and Hardy short film comedy released in 1932. It was directed by James Parrott, produced by Hal Roach and distributed by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. The film, which depicts the pair attempting to move a piano up a long flight of steps, won the first Academy Award for Best Live Action Short (Comedy) in 1932. In 1997, it was selected for preservation in the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "'culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.'"
The Virgil, 4519 Santa Monica Blvd
1920s-style saloon with ornate, throwback decor offering haute classic cocktails.
The Vista, 4473 Sunset Dr
You’re approaching a tricky intersection, but as you go through it, try to catch a glimpse of the big red movie theater on the far corner. You can’t miss it - just look for the big, lit up sign!
John Marshall High School, 3939 Tracy St
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.
Messhall Kitchen, 4500 Los Feliz Blvd
Sleek & modern indoor-outdoor gastropub serves elevated American comfort food & inventive cocktails
Ennis House, 2607 Glendower Ave
The Ennis House is a residential dwelling in the Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles, California, United States, south of Griffith Park. The home was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright for Charles and Mabel Ennis in 1923 and was built in 1924
Griffith Observatory, 2800 E Observatory Rd
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 Canyon, 3200 Canyon Dr
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
