| Visible for miles atop its serene Mt. Lee Perch, the
Hollywood Sign is probably the most photographed celebrity in
Hollywood - a mecca for millions of fan and tourists who flock
to take its picture each year. Many, however , are
surprised to learn that it's illegal to hike to (or basically
get anywhere near) the sign , which is set well back behind
restricting gates , protected by security cameras and Park
Rangers. Like any self-respecting celebrity, the sign
proves frustratingly elusive... at least to those not 'in the
know.' Never fear! We've assembled a list of suggestions for
safe , legal spots where you can go to to get that perfect shot.
So print out this page, grab some film, and make a day of it-the
Hollywood Sign is always ready for its close-up!
Note: For each picture-taking location, we've provided
examples of both a standard shot and a shot with a close-up
lens, to give you a sense of your options
