When a tour group comes through, the viewpoints can become extremely crowded.If the observation decks are too crowded, on level 4 go all the way to the east side of the structure, where the courtyard overlooks Highland Avenue.Hollywood and Highland is probably already on your itinerary, so while you're there be sure to take plenty of photos of the sign. If you have limited transportation then this could be one of your best options outside of a guided tour. On the same level there's a patio with a large bench where you can sit and have your photo taken with the Hollywood Sign in the background. On level 2 there is a California Pizza Kitchen restaurant which has outside seating where you can view the sign while you eat lunch. Two levels of observation decks near the back of the courtyard are open the general public (level numbers 3 and 4). There are multiple viewpoints from which to view the Hollywood Sign at Hollywood and Highland ( website).
