The Hollywood Sign

The Hollywood Sign is synonymous with Hollywood itself. It's one of the first pictures to pop into your mind when you think of the place, and it's one thing many visitors to the area always try to see. However, not many also know that it's illegal to touch it, and the area around it is cordoned off. The closest you can get is by going through certain hiking trails that pass nearby, though you'll never be truly close to the sign. This, unfortunately, relegates it to an attraction that can only be enjoyed from afar.

At that point, it's not too different from seeing it in a picture online. Your time spent in Los Angeles would be much better spent visiting any of the many museums, restaurants, or other attractions.
