Hollywood may well be the most famous neighborhood in Los Angeles, thanks to it being a synonym for the entertainment industry. The neighborhood draws many tourists from around the world every day with its attractions and landmarks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But that doesn\u2019t mean that everything in Hollywood is a tourist trap. There are still plenty of things to do and visit in Hollywood that locals enjoy. As an LA local, I\u2019m here to help. Here are the best things to do in Hollywood that would make you feel like you\u2019re one of the locals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Hike the trails at Griffith Park<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Griffith Park is mainly famous for being the home of Griffith Observatory and the Hollywood Sign<\/a>, but most locals come to take advantage of the numerous hiking trails here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are 53 miles of trails in this park, so hikers can keep returning to the park and do a new trail. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That said, if you have not visited the Griffith Observatory before, you should. Hike up to the observatory through Ferndell and continue on to the Observatory trail. Parking near the observatory has been impossible to find these days, anyway, so hiking up is a good way to spend the day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check out more tips for visiting the Griffith Observatory<\/a>. There are also many other attractions to visit at Griffith Park<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Browse produce and grab lunch at the Hollywood Farmers Market<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If there\u2019s one place where all the locals gather in Hollywood, it would be at the Hollywood Farmers Market. This farmers market takes place every Sunday from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. and is one of the largest in the Los Angeles area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I recommend trying some of the in-season fruits of California, but even if you can\u2019t shop for much produce while traveling, there\u2019s plenty to enjoy at this farmers market, from coffee to bagel sandwiches to freshly shucked oysters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Picnic and enjoy a concert at the Hollywood Bowl<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
