THINGS TO DO

Get Wise to Glendale

Some call it off the beaten path. That just means it can’t be beat. We called it Express because from here, you can make bold LA moves. Here behind the Hollywood sign, the whole world’s in front of you.

FIFA world cup 2026

Only a few months away! The World Cup energy will extend well beyond the stadium. From June 11 to July 19, 2026, global soccer fans can enjoy 39 days of World-Cup-related events across the city. Highlights include an official FIFA Fan Festival, along with additional Fan Zones to be announced throughout the region.

City of Angels

It’s a short ride to the center of city life. Scout trendy bistros, bars, clubs, or restaurants. Shop on Melrose or Rodeo. Play tourist at Warner Bros., Universal Studios, Disney or the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Immerse in history and culture at the La Brea Tar Pits, or the LA County Museum of Art. Catch sports games or sitcoms. It’s all so close you can taste it.

Behind the Sign

Minutes in front of us, Griffith Park’s 4,000+ acres of nature and culture, topped with the iconic Hollywood sign. Miles of winding trails, world-famous cultural and outdoor destinations. The original Batcave (Bronson Cave), Travel Town Museum, Autry Museum, Sunset Ranch, or LA Zoo. And get yourself to the Greek (Theatre) for shows under the stars.

You Get Around

We’re a mere 6.6 miles from Burbank Airport, 29 miles from LAX. That’s striking distance to Venice Beach, Santa Monica Pier, Laguna Beach, Palm Springs, Catalina Island, and Joshua Tree. It’s day trip mission control here. You can also check out the LA Metro and Glendale Beeline bus service.
