In California alone
In California alone, there are more than 30
cities bigger than Berkeley. In Alameda County alone, Berkeley is ranked fourth
in population behind Oakland, Fremont and Hayward. And yet, we are famous around
the globe as a center for academic achievement, scientific exploration, free
speech and the arts. Berkeley is constantly changing mix of long-time residents
and new neighbors, and whether you just arrived from Albany or Spain, you are
welcome here.
Within Berkeley's 18 square miles, a visitor
can hear a symphony or a jazz quartet, stroll through a redwood forest or a rose
garden, shop for Tibetan jewelry or sportswear from The Gap, play a round of
golf, take a yoga class, catch a world-premier play or first-run film, embark on
a sport fishing excursion or enjoy an architectural walking tour.
For a detailed list of things to do in
Berkeley, including restaurants, accommodations, outdoor activities, shopping
districts and a calendar of events, please visit the
Berkeley Convention and
Visitors Bureau.
