Oakland, California: A City By the Bay

Oakland is a vibrant, diverse community with great views of the San Francisco Bay and golden foothills along with many cultural attractions and restaurants. Having a car rental lets you travel at your own pace through town, taking in everything at your own convenience. Traffic mostly flows along I-880 and I-580, which are both situated in between the water of the San Francisco Bay and the foothills.

Enrich Yourself With the Arts

A visit to the Oakland Museum of California can give you a better idea of the history of the area. The museum has fine art in addition to exhibits on natural history and science. It's located in Chinatown near Lake Merritt, only a few miles away from most city landmarks.

Just over a mile northwest of the museum is the Paramount Theater. This historic theater is home to the Oakland Ballet and regularly hosts musicians and other performers.

Head Outdoors

You can make your way to the Oakland Zoo to see animals up close. The zoo is about 15 minutes south of downtown with your car rental, right off 580. It has over 600 animals, many of which have always called California their home.

Continuing a few more miles into the foothills gives you access to hiking trails and nature preserves. There are trails and campgrounds in Redwood Regional Park and Anthony Chabot Regional Park.

Experience the City

For dinner or lunch, you can drive over to Jack London Square. Here, you'll find restaurants featuring all different kinds of cuisine, clubs, bars and shops.

Another neighborhood to explore is Uptown. There are eateries and stores up and down Telegraph Avenue and Broadway.
