All the major Disneyland landmarks are inside the parks, but at Universal Studios Hollywood, the iconic spinning golden globe is outside the gates where anyone can enjoy a photo opportunity. For those on a budget, there's even a free shuttle from the Metro station that will take you right there.

The Giant Guitar on Universal CityWalk
Kayte Deioma
There has been a giant guitar in front of the Hard Rock Cafe on Universal CityWalk since it opened in 1996 and that is the visual that's etched in most people's memories from various TV and movie appearances or past visits. In 2011, that guitar got a new paint job when the 5 Towers outdoor stage area was added on CityWalk next to the restaurant. The current design is a replica of Eddie Van Halen's Frankenstrat.
