Long the home of counterculture and the go-to spot for adult fun, the Sunset Strip is a vibrant and eclectic street lined by diverse attractions including famous music venues, iconic landmarks, and all types of bars, clubs, and restaurants. There’s also plenty of shopping, one of the city’s most legendary (celebrity-frequented) hotels, and a historic comedy club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With so much to see and do, it can be hard deciding where to start and what to focus on when exploring Los Angeles\u2019 Sunset Strip. Read on to learn more about some of the highlights of this popular and history-filled area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is the Sunset Strip and Sunset Boulevard the same thing? For out-of-towners, distinguishing between the two can be perplexing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Sunset Strip is actually part of Sunset Boulevard. It\u2019s about 1.5 miles of the boulevard that runs from Hollywood to the border of Beverly Hills<\/a> at Doheny Drive and through the northwest corner of West Hollywood (referred to by locals as WeHo).  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While it’s a constantly evolving area, the Sunset Strip is perhaps known first and foremost as a place to experience live music and party long into the night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1966, this area gained notoriety for what we know today as the Sunset Strip curfew riots, aka the hippie riots. Store owners and nearby residents were fed up with teens clogging the streets, so the locals worked with law enforcement to pass strict curfew and loitering laws to reduce crowds. Pandora\u2019s Box, a nightclub that served as the core rally location, closed down soon after and was finally demolished in 1967.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately, there are still plenty of places for nightlife on the Sunset Strip. Here are just a few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
