One Day Los Angeles Driving Tour

Continuing on Sunset through West Hollywood, you'll pass the Comedy Store and Laugh Factory where many famous comics got their start, as well as the House of Blues. West Hollywood usually has an interesting collection of quirky billboards soaring above the sidewalk cafes, bars and shops that line the streets.

Entering Beverly Hills, Sunset becomes a windy road with green hedges and trees blocking your view of most of the mansions tucked behind them. You can turn off of Sunset for a detour down famed Rodeo Drive which is at a 6-way intersection crossing Sunset at the same place as Cañon Drive. Turn left and proceed through several blocks of well-groomed mansions before you arrive at the short stretch of high-end designer boutiques recognized around the world. Rodeo dead ends into the Regent Bevery Wilshire Hotel on Wilshire Blvd. You can either go around the block and go back up to Sunset, or turn right on Wilshire and head west toward the Beach.

Sunset is a winding green route to the beach. Wilshire is an urban landscape of retail and commercial buildings with a green stretch through the L.A. Country Club. They are both slow during rush hour on weekdays. Take your pick.
