Hollywood Attractions and Exciting Things to Experience In Hollywood

• Grauman's Chinese Theatre
  The Walk of Fame: Grauman's Chinese Theatre has been a cornerstone of Hollywood for over 75 years. The grand opening of the theatre was on May 18, 1927 and it was the most impressive theatre opening in motion picture history; a riot actually broke out as fans tried to get glimpses of the movie stars and other celebrities as they arrived for the opening. An historic cultural landmark, the Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles is visited by more than four million visitors from all over the world every year and is the most sought-after studio in Hollywood for studio premieres. Every time there is a premiere, the streets are overrun by fans trying to get autographs and pictures of their favorite celebrities as they arrive for the red carpet walk-ins. The Hollywood Walk of Fame runs right in front of the theatre.
