Rodeo Drive is one of the most photographed streets in the world. These are the classic shots, walking from south to north.
- The Spanish Steps at Two Rodeo. The cobblestone lane of Via Rodeo climbs from Wilshire Boulevard to a fountain and a sweeping staircase, framed by European-style storefronts.
- The Beverly Wilshire. The grand 1928 hotel faces the foot of Rodeo Drive across Wilshire Boulevard. It is the hotel from Pretty Woman.
- The Rodeo Drive street signs. The corner of Rodeo Drive and Wilshire Boulevard is the classic spot for the street-sign photo.
- The Torso sculpture. Robert Graham's bronze at Rodeo Drive and Dayton Way is the symbol of the Walk of Style; look down for the plaques honoring fashion's greats.
- The palm-lined blocks. Stand in the center median crosswalks (safely, on a green light) for the long view of palms and storefronts.
- The Beverly Hills sign. From the north end of Rodeo Drive, walk one block east to Beverly Drive and cross Santa Monica Boulevard to Beverly Gardens Park, where the sign sits beside a lily pond.
Tips
- Early weekday mornings are the quietest; golden hour gives the warmest light.
- Be considerate at shop entrances and don't block doorways.
- From mid-November, holiday lights and window displays add a new set of shots. See the holiday guide.
