The Hollywood Bowl is LA's legendary outdoor amphitheatre, its concentric-arch band shell tucked into the Hollywood Hills and hosting the LA Philharmonic and major touring acts each summer. Bring a picnic and wine to enjoy before the music under the stars. It is a seasonal venue, so outside concert dates you can only see it via the free on-site museum or occasional tours, and parking is notoriously tight, so use the shuttle.
