Universal City is a community in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles, California, most of which is given over to the world's largest motion picture studio and its associated visitor attraction, the popular Universal Studios Hollywood theme park.
By car
Universal City has its own exit from the 101 Freeway traveling northbound from Downtown Los Angeles or Hollywood.
By public transit
Metro offers bus and rail service to Universal City./Hollywood and North Hollywood. Universal Studios Hollywood provides a free shuttle between the subway station and the theme park.
Getting around Universal City is not a serious matter, given that it's small enough to easily walk around.
