Ventura sits on Highway 101 about 60 miles (97 km) northwest of Los Angeles and 30 miles (48 km) southeast of Santa Barbara. By car, both cities are under an hour in light traffic — though LA traffic is rarely light. The Metrolink Pacific Surfliner (Amtrak) stops at Ventura station on Harbor Boulevard, with multiple daily trains to LA Union Station and Santa Barbara. The nearest major airports are Los Angeles (LAX) and Burbank (BUR) to the south, and Santa Barbara (SBA) to the north.
