Metro's LAX page says to ride the C Line or K Line to the LAX/Metro Transit Center, but neither page gives the further transfers, stops or total time from LAX to Hollywood/Highland, so no single trip time is given here.
Getting back

Get to know the areas

HollywoodThe shortest trip to the gates, in the area the Bowl's own shuttle and Metro connection are built around

The blocks around the Bowl along Highland Avenue and Hollywood Boulevard, with the Bowl's own Ovation Hollywood shuttle, the closest hotels in this guide and the Metro B Line's Hollywood/Highland Station.

Hotels on Highland Avenue and Hollywood Boulevard, including the Loews inside the Ovation Hollywood complex at Hollywood and Highland. Musso & Frank, which its site says has served the neighborhood since 1919, is on Hollywood Boulevard, and Yamashiro is on the hillside near the Bowl.

To the venue
The Bowl's Metro page names the B Line to Hollywood/Highland Station as the rail connection to its free shuttle. Metro's LAX page says to ride the C Line or K Line to the LAX/Metro Transit Center, but neither page gives the further transfers, stops or total time from LAX to Hollywood/Highland, so no single trip time is given here.
After the show
Reverse the Ovation Hollywood shuttle, Metro B Line, rideshare or drive. No official return time to LAX is published.
The tradeoff
The venue publishes no walking route, even from hotels under 1 km away in a straight line, and Highland Avenue climbs a steep hill toward the venue.

Hotels in this area

West Hollywood (Sunset Strip)Staying on the Sunset Strip and eating in West Hollywood, if you don't mind a paid rideshare or drive each way

West Hollywood's Sunset Strip, where this guide's Andaz West Hollywood is about 3.6 km southwest of the Bowl in a straight line, and Cecconi's is about 2 km from the hotel.

The Andaz West Hollywood on Sunset Boulevard, and Cecconi's on Melrose Avenue, serving Italian dishes, homemade pastas and wood-fired pizzas.

To the venue
No official time or fare is published between LAX and West Hollywood; a rental car or rideshare is the practical way in.
After the show
Rideshare or drive back from the Bowl. No official return time to West Hollywood is published.
The tradeoff
There's no Metro Rail station here, and none of the Bowl's 14 Park & Ride lots or 4 Bowl Shuttle lots is in West Hollywood, so both legs of the trip are a rideshare or a drive.

Hotels in this area

Studio City (Ventura Boulevard)Staying in or arriving through the Valley and taking a venue-run shuttle instead of driving into Hollywood traffic

A San Fernando Valley boulevard about 3.5 km north of the Bowl in a straight line, with one of the Bowl's four Bowl Shuttle lots (Line 668) boarding on Ventura Boulevard.

The BLVD Hotel & Studios and Laurel Tavern, an American gastropub, are on Ventura Boulevard, with the Line 668 shuttle stop at 10801 Ventura Boulevard.

To the venue
Metro's B Line reaches the Valley at Universal City/Studio City station, but no official page gives a transfer chain or trip time from LAX to that station.
After the show
The Bowl Shuttle returns to the same Ventura Boulevard lot. Return buses begin leaving about 20 minutes after the concert ends; no last departure time is published.
The tradeoff
The shuttle runs only on show days: departures begin 2.5 hours before the concert, and the last shuttle leaves at concert time.
