I went in front of the Hollywood museum, the Kodak Theater, where the award ceremony occurs every year, with columns where you can read the movies that has won the oscar. Then I went in front of the Grauman's Chinese Theater, where you can see the hand prints of celebrities, I took pictures of the Hollywood signs from the viewing bridges at the Hollywood & Highland complex, even if it is not really good (the signs are far!), I visited the tourist shops such as Hollywoodland (a huge store with every tourist gift you can dream of). And that's it. Afterwards, you have to pay to go into the different museums or attraction. I think the Madame Tussaud Museum looks really good even but I didn't have the chance to go inside. Hollywood like you imagine it is not really big, the main touristic parts are located between Highland Avenue and Dr. Orange Avenue.
There are a lot of "Hollywood Tour Companies" employee that will harass you to come to their tour. They propose you a visit of the famous spots of Los Angeles: Beverly Hills and the Celebrity Houses, Santa Monica & Venice Beach, Hollywood Signs... for around 25$.
Then I had my first party the coming night. We started the warm-up in the common room, ideally to meet the other hostellers by playing pool and beerpong. I met especially three pretty German girls that made my night great. We all went to a rock and roll club on Las Palmas Avenue, quite close to the hostel. It was free for the girls and 5$ for the others. A good club, with a large out-door dance floor and particular music not quite usual for a nightclub (no dance, really). The beers were 3$ to 7$ which was quite affordable. We came back at the hostel around 3:00AM.
