You step out onto Sunset Boulevard as neon leans forward and traffic hums like a steady drum. Headphones in, the app wakes and a recorded voice guides you down the stretch where marquee lights and painted murals trade stories with the passing crowd. The walk moves at street level — an hour of pavement, signage, and sudden vistas of the Hollywood Hills — a compact slice of Tinseltown where bands, studios and late-night diners once collided.
