A business and residential district in the city of Los Angeles, the core of Hollywood for a tourist is its three fascinating boulevards: Hollywood Boulevard is known for its entertainment history, Sunset Boulevard for its clubs and nightlife, and Melrose Avenue for its shopping, nightlife, and eclecticism. Paramount is the only major studio still headquartered in Hollywood, but the area nonetheless remains an important center of the entertainment industry with its myriad production and broadcast facilities.
