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 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.
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.
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
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!
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 !
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!
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 - 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.
