What to Do

Activities in the Los Angeles Area

Here's a small sampling of the things you can do in the area.

EAT & DRINK

Los Angeles is a global culinary capital where street food and fine dining collide. Just down the hill from Universal, you’ll find Ventura Boulevard, home to some of the best sushi in the world (often called "Sushi Row"). Whether you're looking for a classic California burger, authentic street tacos, or a trendy rooftop cocktail in nearby Hollywood, the local flavors are as diverse as the city itself.

  • Located at The Garland, this is the ultimate "California vibe" spot. It features a stunning, tree-shaded outdoor patio perfect for a relaxed brunch or sunset cocktails.

  • A sleek, modern choice at CityWalk known for hand-tossed pizzas and fresh, homemade pasta—perfect for a lively group dinner.

  • Just down the hill on Ventura Boulevard, you’ll find some of the best sushi in the world. From high-end omakase at Sushi Note to the original Katsu-ya, it’s a must for seafood lovers.

  • For those looking for a "Hollywood" atmosphere, this Studio City staple offers fine dining in a library-like bar and a lush, ivy-covered outdoor patio.

PLAY

You’re in the heart of the entertainment industry! Spend a day at Universal Studios Hollywood to experience the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, or head over to CityWalk for neon-lit shopping, movies, and indoor skydiving. If you’re feeling active, hike the trails of Griffith Park for a close-up view of the Hollywood Sign and breathtaking panoramas of the LA basin.

  • Step out of your hotel and straight into the movies. Explore the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, Super Nintendo World, and the world-famous Studio Tour.

  • For a more "behind-the-scenes" look at movie-making, head five minutes down the road to see the actual sets from Friends, Gilmore Girls, and the DC Universe.

  • Stretch your legs on the Mt. Hollywood Trail in Griffith Park. It offers the best photo ops of the Sign and a 360-degree view of the entire city.

  • If you’re looking for a fun night out without leaving the hill, head to CityWalk for high-end bowling, arcade games, and live music at the "5 Towers" stage.

EXPLORE

Beyond the studio gates lies the rich history of Tinseltown. Take a short drive to the Griffith Observatory for world-class science and city views, or explore the iconic Hollywood Bowl. For a more insider vibe, wander through the Los Angeles Arts District, filled with eclectic galleries, theaters, and vintage shops that capture the creative spirit of Downtown LA.

  • An Art Deco masterpiece perched above the city. Even if you don't go inside for the planetarium, the terrace views of the LA skyline at sunset are unbeatable.

  • One of the most famous musical venues in the world. You can visit the free museum during the day or walk through the grounds of this historic amphitheater.

  • A quick hop over the hill to North Hollywood reveals a vibrant community of over 20 theaters, street art galleries, and funky vintage shops.

  • A bit further of a drive (but worth it), this museum features stunning architecture, manicured gardens, and a world-class art collection overlooking the Pacific Ocean.
