Where Is Oakland?

Oakland is centrally located within the greater San Francisco Bay Area, with easy access to the popular surrounding cities that make up the metropolitan area. It is directly across the Bay from San Francisco and is immediately south of both Berkeley and Emeryville. 

Oakland shares a western border with Alameda along the scenic Oakland estuary.  Along its northern and eastern border, Highways 24 and 13 provide direct access to the amazing resources available just over the Oakland hills in Contra Costa County, which features the pleasant communities of Orinda, Lafayette, and Walnut Creek. 

As with any large city, Oakland has an outstanding commute system in place, should you want to travel to any of the adjacent cities. Besides a busy bus system and the efficient freeway system, one of the most popular forms of transportation is the Bay Area Rapid Transit System (BART) with multiple stations throughout Oakland and the neighboring cities. The central Amtrak station at Jack London Square is the site for many commuters north to Sacramento or south to Silicone Valley.

Oakland Airport is user-friendly, and the second largest airport in the Bay area.  11 million passengers use the flight services of 14 different airlines, to fly all over the world.  

What To Do In Oakland

Oakland offers something for everyone, with a plethora of fun things to do year-round for all ages and interests. From major sporting events to world-class dining, farmer's markets, art exhibitions and more, Oakland truly has it all.

Sports fans in Oakland gravitate towards the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Complex, which houses the Oracle Arena (home of the NBA Champion Golden State Warriors), and the Coliseum, (home of the Oakland Athletics).

Many of the most exciting activities in Oakland take place in the downtown area,  particularly at Jack London Square. Sitting next to the dramatic Oakland Estuary, the Square has something going on every day. Here you'll find a variety of popular restaurants including Scotts's Seafood, Yoshi's Jazz Club, and the colorful Plank Restaurant with its beer garden, bocce ball court and bowling alley.

In addition, Downtown Oakland has two historic and dramatically renovated theaters: The Fox Oakland and the Paramount. These have been stunningly updated, and are an ideal site for entertainment, plays, and concerts year round.  

For those who want to get out on the water, the Oakland Estuary is the ideal spot to rent kayaks, join a rowing club, take ferry boat to San Francisco, or tour the Bay aboard FDR's former presidential yacht-the Potomac.

One of the most popular Oakland events is the First Friday's Festival in mid-town. Every first Friday of the month, galleries, artists, musicians, and performers are on hand to create a delightful atmosphere for friends and family.  Supplementing these presentations is the Oakland Art Murmur which includes art walking tours.

The outstanding Oakland Museum of California supplements this First Friday activity and holds a family-friendly open house with lots of activities to add to the fun. This museum showcases the culture, art and science of California in a wide variety of venues and activities during the year.  

Combine just a few of these activities above with the delightful shopping, stores, and restaurants of the Rockridge, Montclair or Lake Merritt neighborhoods, and you should find something to keep you engaged any day that you choose.
