Burbank is a small city and can easily be explored on foot or bike. Public transportation including Metro buses and trains as well as ride-sharing services such as Uber and Lyft are available for longer distances. A car rental may be necessary for day trips outside the city. Average one-way fares for taxis or ride-sharing services range around $15-30.
If you have extra time, take a day trip to Universal Studios Hollywood or the Los Angeles Zoo. Alternatively, if you have less time, prioritize the food scene by spending more than one day exploring Magnolia Boulevard or trying other nearby restaurants such as Porto's Bakery in Glendale or The Garland in North Hollywood.
Burbank is home to the Bob Hope Airport (BUR), located just 3 miles northwest of the city center. The Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) is another option, although it is located 26 miles southwest of Burbank. Transportation options from both airports include taxis, ride-sharing services, or car rentals.
