About Universal City
Universal City is the unincorporated home of Universal Studios Hollywood and the bustling Universal CityWalk — a promenade of shops, murals, music and people-watching that is free to walk even without a park ticket. The Universal City overlook and the historic Campo de Cahuenga sit nearby.
Connected by the Metro B Line, it's an easy, lively free stop at the edge of the Hollywood Hills.
