Because the popular tourist locations in the City of Angels are far apart, hiking trails in Los Angeles are limited to a single neighborhood.
Hollywood.
Hollywood Boulevard is perhaps the most famous hiking route in Los Angeles. It's home to Grauman's Chinese Theater, where most Hollywood premieres are held and in front of which movie stars leave their signatures, handprints and footprints according to a long tradition. On both sides of Hollywood Boulevard stretches the
Alley of Fame, with more than 2,500 named stars embedded in the sidewalk.
As you explore them, you'll reach the iconic Capital Records recording studio building, visit several wax museums (Hollywood and Madame Tussauds), and be entertained at the Hollywood and Highland Center, of which the Dolby Theatre is a part.
Beverly Hills.
Walking itineraries in Los Angeles should definitely include the famous Rodeo Drive, one of the most expensive and famous streets in the world.
Luxury boutiques are here, and nearby are the most luxurious restaurants and swanky hotels like the Beverly Wilshire (where "hottie" Julia Roberts met her "prince"). You can also check out the residential neighborhoods of Beverly Hills, an oasis of peace, wealth and respectability.
Los Angeles Plaza Historic District District
Popular Los Angeles travel itineraries include a visit to the oldest, most historic part of the city, dating back to Spanish colonists and Mexican rule. Stroll along the colorful Olvera Street, famous for its colorful and bustling Mexican market. Here you can also admire 19th century buildings and enjoy Mexican cuisine.
