Hi all. My party of five (55, 54, 22, 16, 16) are coming to Coachella in 2027, flying in from the UK. We have two nights/one full day in L.A prior to getting our transfer to the festival. We are planning to stay at an airport hotel (but happy to stay elsewhere if it makes things easier).

We'd love to fill our one day (work commitments mean we can't stay longer) with sightseeing the city - I'd love to visit Santa Monica and the younger members of the party would like to visit/see the Hollywood sign and Beverly Hills etc.

I realise that in one day this is asking a lot but my question is, what is the best way to travel round that isn't incredibly expensive? Is it Uber or are there other options apart from renting a car - unfortunately we are unable to do this for various reasons!

Does the bus from/to Leuven station pick up and drop off from the same point?

Is there anything to be gained from leaving 10 minutes before the end of 21 Pilots to get to the bus stop 'first'?

Aiming to catch the train from Leuven to Brussels.

I love the heat and sun and my partner and I go to Florence at the end of May.

I only looked for the first time today at the weather forecast for the city and notice that rain is predicted for most of the next fortnight.

It sounds stupid I know, but it didn't really occur to me that the weather would be anything but glorious when we travel.

Can someone please reassure me that it's likely to get better in the latter half of the month!?!

We were hoping to do all of the tourist bits in the mornings while we are there, and I had planned to spend afternoons sat outside a small cafe, reading a book and drinking wine in the sun. I'm worried that might not now happen!

We are coming for just the Saturday. Are there any places to buy food before entering festival grounds? What sort of food is available inside the festival itself, and what kind of prices are they?
