Universal Studios Hollywood is one of the most visited parks by Italians traveling to California—so much so that there’s even an Italian version of the official website, which is quite unusual for the American market.
I personally visited the park in May 2022 and left feeling a bit disappointed—if you want to find out why, check out my review.
That said, here’s my personal ranking of the top 7 attractions at Universal Studios Hollywood, all personally experienced.
