Destination Essentials

The optimum time to visit Hollywood is during Spring (March - May), when the climate is mild, the skies are clear, and the city is alive with springtime festivals and events. Autumn (September - November) is also a good time, as the tourist crowds begin to thin out.

That said, there's always something going on in Hollywood. If you're a movie buff and the Oscars are the highlight of your cinematic year, Winter (January-February) might be your best bet. Meanwhile, summer (June-August) offers long, warm days and film premiers galore, providing ample opportunity to spot A-listers. But remember, hotel prices tend to peak with the temperature and early booking is advised.
