A cityscape guide to the Mulholland panorama and distinct places across Los Angeles.
Read the Los Angeles landscape
At the City of Los Angeles - Scenic Overlook, Mulholland Drive opens onto a panoramic view of the city. The terrain, roads and distant buildings frame the relationship between open hills and urban form. Lena Ortiz’s cityscape lens focuses on public spaces and the details that give each place its character.
Other Los Angeles stops offer contrasting ways to encounter the city: open-top sightseeing and celebrity-home tours, a separate hilltop viewpoint, fluid-bear painting, postwar and contemporary art at The Broad, and former zoo grounds in Griffith Park. These are separate places, not a walking itinerary. Check each listing’s current details as you plan.
