While its touristy landmarks certainly aren't the only worthwhile things to do in West Hollywood, no visit to WeHo would be complete without a stop on the Sunset Strip.

Generally speaking, the Sunset Strip is a relatively safe destination at night. Like any city street, crime does happen, so it's usually best to stay in populated, well-lit areas if you're alone. That said, the Strip during the day can seem fairly ordinary, just cafés and shops, but it really comes to life at night.

The Boulevard is famed as being representative of the classic Hollywood lifestyle and has even been the subject of famous films, not the least of which is its namesake film. In the 1980s, its famed Sunset Strip was the home of the burgeoning rock and metal scene, and it's still known as a hub of Hollywood nightlife.

Sunset Boulevard stretches from the Pacific Coast Highway in Pacific Palisades east to Figueroa Street in downtown Los Angeles. The entire length of the fabled roadway is 27.5 miles. But only 1.6 miles of this legendary road is known as “the Sunset Strip.”
