Los Angeles to Hollywood: Zero Miles — They're the Same City

There is no distance between Los Angeles and Hollywood. Hollywood is a neighborhood / district within the City of Los Angeles, not a separate municipality.

The Geography

• Hollywood = Central LA, northwest of Downtown, bounded roughly by Hollywood Blvd, Sunset Blvd, Western Ave, Laurel Canyon.
• Incorporated: 1903 as independent city; consolidated into LA in 1910 for water access.
• Iconic landmarks (Walk of Fame, TCL Chinese Theatre, Hollywood Sign, Capitol Records) are all within LA city limits.

Adjacent Independent Cities (Often Confused)

• West Hollywood (WeHo): Separate city (Sunset Strip, gayborhood).
• Beverly Hills: Separate city (luxury, Rodeo Drive).
• Culver City: Separate city (Sony Studios).
• Burbank: Separate city (Warner Bros, Disney, NBC).
• Universal City: Unincorporated county island (Universal Studios).

So: Hollywood = LA. Distance = 0 miles. You're already there.
