The Dolby Theatre is located on Hollywood Boulevard at the northwest corner of Highland Avenue. It's about a 10-minute drive from the base of Griffith Park and a 10-minute walk from the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The nearest metro station is Hollywood / Highland on the Metro Red Line, about a 5-minute walk away. Tours start from the Level 2 entrance.
Theater tours usually run from late morning until late afternoon, depending on the theater's events of the day. Tours do not operate during the weeks leading up to the Oscars. To visit the theater for a show or other performance, check the schedule on the theater website.
A couple doors down from the Dolby Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard is a much older Hollywood landmark: the world-famous TCL Chinese Theatre (formerly known as Grauman's Chinese Theatre). Opened in 1927, the theater has hosted movie premieres and past Academy Awards and is now home to an IMAX theater.
