One of LA's most distinguishing icons, the famous Hollywood Sign proudly stands on Mt. Lee (Mount Lee) in the Hollywood Hills, overlooking Los Angeles and the California movie industry it has come to symbolize. This LA landmark first appeared on its hillside perch in 1923 as an advertising gimmick for a real-estate development called Hollywoodland. Each letter stands 50 feet (15 meters) tall and is made of sheet metal painted white.

Do it. You won't regret it!
My wife and I went on the your on our honeymoon. We had the best time! Our guide was Matt García and he was extremely funny and also knowledgeable about the history of the Hollywood sign. He also helped us get an Uber when we were having trouble getting one. Give the man a raise!

People Also Ask
Q:Can you tour the Hollywood Sign?
A:Yes, you can tour near the world's most famous sign—choose a Hollywood tour that heads to photo vistas of the Hollywood Hills in an air-conditioned vehicle, or take a guided or self-guided hike closer to the sign. Note that the sign is fenced off, and it's illegal to enter the closed area.
Q:Should you book Hollywood Sign tours in advance?
A:Yes, you should book a Hollywood Sign tour in advance as it's one of the more popular activities for travelers to LA. You don't need a Hollywood Sign ticket to visit, but if you book a tour in advance, you'll also be able to choose one that works best for you in terms of timing, group size, and focus.
Q:How long is a Hollywood Sign tour?
A:Hollywood Sign tours vary in duration—some take an hour, while others take a day to travel across multiple LA destinations. If you’re hiking or walking to get close to the sign, most tours take roughly three hours. You can also helicopter over the sign, which usually takes less than 60-minutes.
Q:What is the best time to go to the Hollywood Sign?
A:The best time to see the Hollywood Sign is October–May, when the cooler weather means there's less smog. From there, you’ll want to visit early in the morning or around sunset when you’ll get the best lighting, and there will be fewer people—especially if you visit midweek.
Q:Can you take a picture in front of the Hollywood Sign?
A:No, you can’t take a picture directly in front of the Hollywood sign—and you can’t touch it. From the best vantage points, like Hollywood Reservoir, it’ll be miles in the background. Hiking via Brush Canyon Trail gets you closest; you’ll be behind the sign, but with better city views so don't forget your camera.
Q:Are there restrooms near the Hollywood Sign?
A:No. To get near the Hollywood Sign, you’ll need to hike in the Hollywood Hills where there are restrooms, regardless of the trail you take. Most people view the sign from further away, at places with tourist infrastructure, like the Hollywood Reservoir or Griffith Observatory, both with restrooms.
