Using a ride-hail service like Uber or Lyft is the most flexible way to explore Burbank. The costs vary between $10-20 depending on distance and time of day. The city's public transport system, Metrolink, also offers an affordable means of transportation from $3 for a single ride or $8 for a day. For those who prefer driving, renting a car at major rental companies is easy, and our team has partnered with some rental car companies for exclusive deals with third-party programs.
If you have more time, make sure to visit other famous amusement parks like Six Flags and Knott's Berry Farm outside Burbank itself. Add tasting local wines at the San Antonio Winery, and watch the Burbank Philharmonic Orchestra performing for an unforgettable experience. If you have less time, skip Fry's Electronics and Sardo's to enjoy other sights.
