Culver City — Los Angeles neighborhood guide

Culver City is a separate city west of downtown Los Angeles, and its city site lists the Sony Studios Tour and museums among its visitor sites. It suits visitors who want a mid-sized city center near the Westside with studio history; it is not a beach destination.
