LA CITY TOURS | 2028

Los Angeles 2028 Olympics Travel Guide

In 2028, LA will host the Summer Games for the third time in history. The city previously hosted in 1932 and 1984. Now it’s happening again on an even bigger scale. If you’re planning to visit for the Olympics, this guide will help you start preparing now.

When Are the 2028 Olympics?

The 2028 Summer Olympics will take place in the summer of 2028.

Expect:

• Over two weeks of competition

• Thousands of athletes

• Millions of visitors

• Events happening all across Los Angeles

Hotels, flights, and event tickets will sell out fast. Planning early will be key.

Where Will Events Be Held?

Los Angeles already has world-class venues. That means fewer new stadiums and more iconic locations.

Here are some major venues expected to host events:

🏟 SoFi Stadium – Inglewood

One of the most modern stadiums in the world. Large ceremonies and major events are expected here.

🏟 Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum – Exposition Park

This historic stadium hosted the 1932 and 1984 Olympics. It will make history again in 2028.

🏀 Crypto.com Arena – Downtown LA

Home to the Lakers and Kings. Likely to host indoor competitions.

🌊 Santa Monica

Beach sports may take place here. Ocean views and Olympic energy will make it unforgettable.

🏖 Long Beach

Water sports and coastal competitions are expected here.

Events will be spread across multiple areas, not just one part of the city.

Where Should You Stay?

Los Angeles is massive. Your location matters.

Best areas to consider:

🏙 Downtown LA

Close to major venues and public transportation.

🌊 Santa Monica

Perfect if you want beach access and Olympic events nearby.

🎬 Hollywood

Central location with plenty of entertainment options.

🏖 Long Beach

Likely a hotspot for water events and coastal competitions.

Book early. Prices will rise significantly as 2028 gets closer.

How to Get Around During the Olympics

LA traffic is already famous. During the Olympics, expect it to be intense.

Best options:

• Metro Rail

• Metro Bus

• Rideshare (expect surge pricing)

• Walking near venues
  

The city is expanding transit lines ahead of 2028, which should help visitors move around more easily.

What to Do Between Events

You won’t be watching competitions all day. Make time to explore LA itself.

Must-see spots:

• Hike to the Hollywood Sign

• Watch the Sunset at Griffith Observatory

• Visit Santa Monica Pier

• Eat at Grand Central Market

• Walk the Venice Beach Boardwalk
  

The Olympics will be exciting, but Los Angeles itself is part of the experience.

How Much Will It Cost?

This will not be a budget trip.

Expect:

• High hotel prices

• Expensive last-minute flights

• Premium event ticket prices
  

To save money:

• Book early

• Stay slightly outside major venue areas

• Use public transportation

• Plan your event schedule ahead of time
