San Fernando Valley Day Trips
Downtown Burbank
Downtown Burbank is home to a vast number of shops, restaurants and entertainment. The main drag is along San Fernando Blvd, between Magnolia and Olive. If you want to stay local, there’s a Holiday Inn right in the heart of town.
Hooray for Hollywood!
Just a hop, skip and a jump over the hills from the San Fernando Valley, you’ll find the bright lights and glitter of the world famous Hollywood. You can easily get there by car or by metro from the North Hollywood or Universal City Stations.
Studio City and Toluca Lake
A day spent exploring the neighborhoods of Studio City, Toluca Lake and their nearby environs will give you a chance to hobnob with the locals, maybe spot a celebrity or two and experience a little of the Valley nightlife.
Trip to the West Valley
If you’re in the western part of the Valley, spend a day enjoying an eclectic mix of dining, history and outdoor adventure. You’ll need a car to get to everything, or willingness to grab a cab to the last stop, and you should plan this trip.
Universal Studios
No trip to the San Fernando Valley is complete without a day exploring Universal Studios and the adjacent Universal CityWalk. Once you’ve parked in the lots or made your way on foot from the nearby Universal Hilton, head to City Walk.
