  LA Is a City of Worlds:

  Los Angeles runs on neighborhoods. Each one feels like a different city: DTLA, Hollywood, West Hollywood, Santa Monica, Venice, and Beverly Hills. The trick is staying where your Super Bowl weekend actually happens, not where your GPS sends you to suffer.
• 

  Architecture, Stadium Energy & Icons:

  SoFi Stadium is the headline, but LA delivers the supporting cast: Griffith Observatory, The Getty, Disney Concert Hall, and skyline views that look unreal even when they’re real.
• 

  Entertainment Capital Behavior:

  Comedy clubs, live shows, rooftop lounges, sports bars, celebrity hotspots, and pop-up events that exist for 48 hours and then vanish. During Super Bowl week, LA turns “normal plans” into “ticketed experiences.”
• 

  Food Is a Lifestyle:

  LA is a top-tier food city: taco stands, Korean BBQ, sushi counters, vegan everything, Michelin-level dining, and late-night smash burgers. You can eat like a celebrity without needing the celebrity salary, if you behave.

Los Angeles during Super Bowl week is not “a trip.” It’s a schedule. Plan like an adult so you can party like you’re not. Here’s what to do beyond the game:

• 

  Live Shows & Concert Nights

  LA delivers: major venues, surprise guest appearances, and Super Bowl week parties that feel like mini-festivals. Check schedules around Crypto.com Arena, Hollywood, and West Hollywood.
• 

  Dining That Actually Hits

  From iconic taco spots to high-end dining, LA makes eating part of the event. Reserve early for popular areas like Santa Monica, WeHo, and Beverly Hills.
• 

  Neighborhood Crawls

  Pick your vibe: Venice for boardwalk energy, DTLA for nightlife, WeHo for lounges, and Santa Monica for ocean views and walkability.
• 

  Beach Time & Sunset Views

  Yes, it’s February. No, you’re not freezing like the rest of the country. Hit Santa Monica, Malibu, or Manhattan Beach for a calm reset between events.
• 

  Fan Events & Pop-Ups

  Expect branded experiences, interactive exhibits, meet-and-greets, and parties. Super Bowl week in LA means there’s always something happening, whether you asked for it or not.
• 

  Nightlife That Goes Late

  Rooftops, cocktail bars, sports lounges, and afterparties. If you want “iconic LA energy,” aim for WeHo, DTLA, and the Santa Monica area.

🚗 How to Move Around Los Angeles:
LA is not walkable the way your optimism thinks it is. You move by strategy. Plan based on where you’re staying and what you’re doing, and your Super Bowl weekend becomes smooth instead of… character-building.

• 

  Walking (In the Right Places)

  Walkable zones exist: Santa Monica, parts of DTLA, Venice, and WeHo. Around SoFi, expect event-day closures and crowds, so walking can be useful when planned.
• 

  Public Transit (Metro Rail & Buses)

  The LA Metro helps in key corridors, especially if you’re going between neighborhoods without wanting to deal with parking. It’s not perfect, but neither is traffic.
• 

  Biking & Scooters

  Great near the coast: Santa Monica to Venice is a classic. Use rentals for short hops, not cross-city hero missions.
• 

  Car Rentals

  If you plan to explore outside your zone, renting can make sense. Just remember: parking in LA is an emotional journey and sometimes costs like a small mortgage.
• 

  Ride-Sharing (Uber / Lyft)

  The default option for most visitors. Expect surge pricing around Super Bowl week, especially near SoFi Stadium.
• 

  Taxi Services

  Still available and sometimes faster than waiting on rideshare during peak moments. Hotels and airports make this easy.
• 

  Traffic Planning

  Time is currency in LA. Build buffers, avoid last-minute stadium arrivals, and plan routes like you’re defusing a bomb. Calmly.
• 

  Shuttles & Event Transfers

  Many hotels and event providers offer Super Bowl weekend shuttles. If your package includes transfers, use them. If not, ask about options early.
• 

  Airports: LAX Is the Main One

  LAX is the primary airport for Super Bowl travelers. Build extra time for arrivals and departures during event week because everyone has the same idea you do.
• 

  Airport Transfers

  Options include rideshare, private transfers, shuttles, and rental cars. If you’re staying near SoFi, transfers can save you a lot of parking stress.
