Visiting the Retro City of Burbank

The city experiences a Mediterranean climate, with average highs of 88°F in August and 67°F in December. Rain showers are frequent in the winter, but snowfall is a rare sight. Burbank is a city that has seen little change over the decades. Googie architecture and old-fashioned burger joints are common sights. Visitors can enjoy VIP tours inside the Universal Studios, NBC, and Warner Bros. Studios. Burbank is also the home of one of the Los Angeles area’s oldest farmer’s markets, where fresh and meticulously selected produce is sold every Saturday morning. A visit in the chilly month of November lets you see the yearly CTN Animation Expo, an event dedicated to classic and upcoming works of animation. Other notable and interesting places to visit include the Flappers Comedy Club, Book Castle’s Movie World, and the Martial Arts History Museum.
