Hollywood: The Star-Studded Heart of Los Angeles

Public Transport - Metro

From any location in Pasadena, head to the nearest Metro Gold Line station, such as the Pasadena Memorial Park station. Purchase a ticket and board a train heading towards Union Station in Los Angeles. Stay on the train for approximately 30 minutes. Once you arrive at Union Station, transfer to the Metro Red Line and take the train toward North Hollywood. Disembark at the Hollywood/Highland station. From there, follow the signs to the Hollywood Walk of Fame and the iconic Hollywood sign, which are within walking distance.

Public Transport - Bus

Locate the nearest bus stop in Pasadena. Take the Metro Bus Line 180 or 181 towards Los Angeles. These buses will take you directly to the Hollywood area. The journey will take about 45 minutes to an hour depending on traffic. Once you arrive at the bus stop in Hollywood, you can explore the area on foot, including attractions like the TCL Chinese Theatre and the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Walking

If you are in a central area of Pasadena, like Old Town Pasadena, you can consider walking to nearby attractions. However, please note that walking directly to Hollywood from Pasadena is quite a distance (around 10 miles) and may be less practical. Instead, head to the nearest Metro station or bus stop first and then use public transport to reach Hollywood.

Ride-sharing Service

Use a ride-sharing app (like Uber or Lyft) to request a ride from your location in Pasadena to Hollywood. Enter 'Hollywood, CA' as your destination. The ride will take approximately 30-40 minutes depending on traffic. This option is convenient if you prefer direct transportation without navigating public transport.
