Here are some ways to help you:
1) Drive up Bronson. You cannot go far up, however, you do get a decent view of the sign.
2) Park and take a picture near the Tommy's on Hollywood & Bronson, off of the 101 freeway. Believe it or not, there is a pretty damn good view of the sign from there -- if not, why would tourist buses park there?
3) Use this picture and save yourself the trouble. Leave a Comment

#1 - HOLLYWOOD - It's a dive. Get in and out of there as quickly as you can... Mann's Chinese Theater is interesting for about 30 minutes, after you locate all the stars' feet & hand imprints, split. There are tons of tourists, all with the same agenda in mind. It gets old.
#2 CITY WALK - This is a construct of a make-believe city (what isn't make-believe in LA?). You have to pay to park your car, which is unavoidable as there is nowhere else to park. There are tons of people there with nothing better to do. However, there are 18 movie screens, so you can go see a film a day or two prior to its release. If you have to, just go once, but you need not repeat this in the future! Leave a Comment

Hollywood! It is dirty and crowded! Nothing really exciting there anyway. The Chinese Theater was nice to see...but I couldn't stand more than 20 minutes of it! Leave a Comment

Every time I have friends coming over wanting to see the Hollywood sign, I tell them its really not worth it. Its just a bunch of letters on a hillside. Nevertheless I take them to go see it.
If they really want a good picture of the sign... take them to Universal Studios. At least that way you get to enjoy all the fun stuff at the theme park and there's a wall with a picture of the Hollywood sign. When someone takes a pic of you with the sign in the background, it really looks as if you were there. Leave a Comment

Hollywood. That a very big tourist trap!
Nothing much interesting and beautiful to see there. Quite dangerous neighborhood.
But if you are lucky as I was, you can see the entrance of some very famous people into parties. I saw Stallone, Cher, Larry King, and other I don’t know their names. Leave a Comment

Its not as great as it seems, you will realize this as soon as you see it, if you can see it.
The pollution is so thick you can hardly see anything.
get as close as posssible, and have a good camera.
Buy a postcard! Leave a Comment

The Hollywood Sign should be under "Off the Beaten Path" rather in Tourist Traps. We ahve plenty of the latter but only 1 Hollywood sign.
Here's the first thing to know about the sign - it's at the north end of Hollywood. Until I was more familiar with the city I used that sign as a navigation tool for months!
Here's another thing about the sign: You can walk right up to it. From the Griffith Park Observatory parking lot there's a path that leads you to the sign. The 1-1/4 mile hike offers a couple challenges (especially if you're relatively sendentary like I am), but it's a beautiful walk with a wonderful view of Hollywood.
I would suggest wearing good hiking shoes ... bring some water on a hot day ... don't forget your camera! I wouldn't walk alone, especially as a female, and would avoid it completely at night.

The infamous hollywood sign can be seen from miles. Used to advertise real estate in the 1930's, it has become synonomous with the movieworld ever since, Add a few namechanges and a suicide and its still stands today luring tourist from everywhere.
You can't get a good view unless you drive up beechwood drive or see it on a tour.
Have a photo took infront of it
Go to griffith park, you see a good view and enjoy a day out in a park instead of being stuck on a tour bus Leave a Comment
