mulholland drive

We rented a Camaro to make this drive and it was good. It has some great views and really sweet houses. Not much time to look if you are driving but let the passenger take pics. There are some overlooks where you can stop and take them also. It is a cool place to see and I would do it again.

Drove a bit of Mulholland Drive on a recent trip to LA. Provides great views of the hills. It is a twisty turny road so not great for those that suffer from travel sickness! The houses around here are pretty spectacular !

You simply must cruise Mulholland Drive when you are in the Beverly Hills area. The homes are absolutely gorgeous and the view of the Valley are breathtaking. You have plenty of opportunities to take pictures. Best to go during the day though, not so much at night. The road is very windy and it's fun if you are in a sports car like my friend and I were. Anyway, enjoy yourself and make time to relax during your adventure.

Drove Mulholland Drive from the 410 with the intent of going to the 101 freeway. It's a very windy road, which makes it fun, but also made one of my kids car sick. We did have some great views of the valley to the North! I did find staying on the road confusing. One time there was a fork in the road and it wasn't clear which way to go to continue on Mulholland and I chose the wrong way. It was minor requiring a quick turnaround. Continuing on, I came to a stop light where again it wasn't clear whether to veer to the right or continue to the left. Again, I chose wrong. At this point, with time being my enemy, rather than turn around, I continued to my destination at Universal City. I wonder if that segment of the drive had the best views of LA? Ultimately, I'd recommend the drive, but give yourself some time in case you find yourself off the path to get corrected.

This was probably one of the highlights of our recent trip to Beverly Hills. The drive up and down is completely breathtaking, and the houses that lie upon this distinctive drive are just jaw dropping. There are plenty of turnouts for you to stop to take photographs. The only bad part is that if you want to do it at night there are hours when you can't stop. Our drive was during the day so it didn't affect us. I would say this is a not to miss experience if you are in the Los Angeles area!

The views - allow time as its slow driving plus you want to see the city from up here. We also took in the observatory on the same trip out.

Just like on TV this is a must drive road when in LA. Safe, slow and not too crowded despite its location. Note designed for SUV's - drive it in a car with no more than 2-3 in the car. Good house-viewing and spectacular vistas.

It is a curvy drive up the hill and we stop at the first viewing are. Even though the day was hazy, we had a nice view of LA, Hollywood Drive, the Hollywood sign, the Hollywood Bowl, The Capitol Records building, etc. It was very nice.

From here, it is an easy walk along some great trails to not only see the hollywood sign but to see what the sign can see, a fantastic panorama of LA

Take the drive if you have the time. The Hollywood Hills are beautiful and it is amazing to see the size of the mansions up there! There are many spots to pull over and look at the amazing views. Just do it!

I drive Mulholland Drive several days per week between the 405 Freeway and Coldwater Canyon north of Beverly Hills. The road is very curvy with great views of both the San Fernando Valley and downtown Los Angeles. Along some curves are sweeping views of West Los Angeles and the coastline. On extremely clear days, like the day after a storm, I can see the large freighters off the shore in San Pedro. In the winter, on occasion, the mountains in the north valley will be frosted with snow and you have beautiful views of snow capped mountains to the east of Los Angeles. The only place to get food and drinks along this stretch of road is the shopping center on Beverly Glen about a quarter mile south of Mulholland Drive. There are restaurants and a Starbucks here.

If you grew up listening to the Beach Boys or Jan and Dean, or really anything to do with Hollywood, you will have heard of Mulholland Drive. This a twisty turny road that weaves through to hills with great views everywhere you look. See the Hollywood sign from the Hollywood Bowl overlook. Yes, the Hollywood Bowl, where the Beatles played! The homes that are perched on the edges of the hillsides vary from cute little bungalows to mansions and each one seems cooler than the last! My wife was in the backseat and was scared out of her mind for the lack of guard-rails, but hey, why ruin such a great view!

Rent a convertible and drive Mulholland Drive on a nice day. Lots of celeb homes along the way but you can't really see much of that because most are behind gates, bushes and private driveways. Also can be a lot of traffic pushing you along so hard to drive slow and look unless you pull into the turn-outs to see the nice view. We stopped often and took pictures but the scenic drive is the draw here.Once you start there doesn't seem to be anything along the way so make sure you have food, drinks and bathroom breaks before you start.

But I didn't know that the lookout point closed at 10pm! Managed to take some photos from the other open areas along the road, but they were not the best locations for photos.

The views were Gorgeous! We drove here after driving up the canyon from Hollywood and wow, the views! I would say that you must do this in Beverly Hills. Having a car in LA is also essential. Pretty homes along the way!
