For a first trip to Beverly Hills, plan one to two days, stay in or near the Golden Triangle and expect warm, dry weather: NOAA's normal highs at the nearest station are 67.4–84.0°F all year. The City runs a free weekend trolley between Civic Center and Rodeo Drive, Metro's base fare is $1.75, and hotel stays carry the City's 14% transient occupancy tax.

Getting here and around
Metro's D Line Section 1 opened May 8, 2026, with a station at Wilshire/La Cienega in Beverly Hills. See transportation.
When to go
NOAA's 1991–2020 normals for the Downtown USC station show highs of 67.4–69.9°F from December to March and 82.0–84.0°F from July to September. June to September are nearly dry (0.00–0.13 inches a month); December to February are the wettest (2.48–3.64 inches). Beverly Hills has no station of its own, so conditions differ slightly. See the best-time guide.
