A world-famous nightlife landmark, Hollywood’s Sunset Strip has been dazzling partygoers since the 1920s. Its legacy lives on to this day, with the 2.4-kilometre stretch of Sunset Boulevard lined with legendary rock music venues, luxe hotels, boutique stores and famous nightclubs.
A stroll down Sunset Strip wouldn’t be complete without gazing up at its kaleidoscope of colourful billboards, advertising everything from Coca-Cola to Chanel. From hitting up the clubs and living the LA high life to simply people watching after dark, Sunset Strip is a fantastic place to experience the city’s wild side.
Bordered by Beverly Hills to the west and Hollywood to the east, Sunset Strip is easy to access from most major LA neighbourhoods. The most accessible mode of transport is a car, with Sunset Strip just a 30-minute drive from Downtown LA. Once on the Strip, the best way to soak up its glitz, glamour and rock ‘n’ roll attitude is on foot.
Over the decades Sunset Strip has established itself as a pop culture icon, making an appearance in hit films like Sunset Boulevard, Almost Famous and Rock of Ages. It’s also seen its fair share of celebrities, attracting the likes of Marilyn Monroe, Guns N’ Roses, Led Zeppelin and The Doors.
