Hollywood beckons to tourists who long for a brush with Tinseltown glamor. Tour movie studios, slip your hands into the famous prints at the TCL Chinese Theatre, or indulge in a celeb sighting at one of LA’s white-hot nightspots. Spot your favorite star while shopping at The Grove, or forget all about the famous eye candy as you take in the iconic artwork at The Getty Center. For a different type of star-gazing, peek through the telescopes at the Griffith Observatory.

A convent of cloistered Dominican nuns. Visitors can view the building and grounds and shop in the gift shop.
Nestled at the foot of the Hollywood Hills, the Monastery of the Angels is a hidden treasure. The cloistered Dominican Nuns of the community are dedicated to perpetual adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. Visitors can join the nuns for prayer in a special guest chapel, separated by a screen and central altar. In the gift shop, the famous Monastery Pumpkin Bread is available. Molto buonissimo! This place is a great blessing.

Open to the public, the Los Angeles Temple is a beautiful and peaceful place to visit. Visitors can walk through the colorful gardens lined with towering trees, sit by the fountains and cascading waterfall, enjoy the beautiful views, and feel the peace of the grounds. While you're there, you can take a guided tour at the Visitors' Center.
The Los Angeles Temple feels like an oasis of peace in the midst of hectic traffic and city bustle. Although only qualified members of the Church can enter the temple, there is an excellent visitors center on site which has many hands-on displays, visuals, videos, etc. Everyone is welcome to spend time at the visitors center or to stroll the well-maintained grounds. Inside the Temple itself are beautiful wall murals and other paintings that cause one to reflect upon God and His love for us.

The city's first movie theater is now a Hispanic church.
Built in 1917, the theatre was designed in an exquisite Californian Churrigueresque style by noted Los Angeles architect Albert C. Martin. It was the first movie palace built by famed Hollywood entrepreneur Sid Grauman, who also founded Grauman’s Chinese Theatre and the Egyptian Theatre. In the 50’s, the theatre became an epicenter of Spanish language entertainment in the country. Today it is one of the last surviving grand movie palaces from the turn of the century.
