Berkeley Information

Get California dreamin’ with a visit to Berkeley. Berkeley is one of Northern California’s treasures east of the Bay area, and was the center of hippie culture in the sixties. Even today, Berkeley retains its free-spirited and rose-tinted soul. Great for a family trip or a get-away with friends, Berkeley is now a cosmopolitan hub of great food, art, and wonderful weather — with a radical past.

Berkeley is a buzzing college town with the University of California Berkeley as its center of education, culture, and students. This picture-perfect school is UC’s oldest campus, and has beautiful collegiate parks and greenery growing alongside its ideas. UC Berkeley is home of the free speech movement as well as student activism. Walk around the campus to experience the great food and culture that gravitates towards this student area. Visit the Berkeley Flea Market by Ashby station in South Berkeley for antiques and eclectic finds. Open year-round on weekends, the 35 year old Flea Market has trendy thrift items with quirky Berkeley style. Another fashionable area is the ‘Gourmet Ghetto’ in North Berkeley. This business district is jammed with popular restaurants, and would be a great area to spend an evening. While you’re there, pair great food with California wine. Don’t forget to spend a serene day on Berkeley’s beaches! Visit the Miller/Knox regional shoreline that acts as a 300 acre park, then walk a short way to the quaint Keller Beach.

Although Berkeley has so much to offer, California has many tempting destinations nearby. Oakland, just 20 minutes from UC Berkeley makes a perfect nature excursion. Spend a day at the gorgeous and iconic Lake Merritt. Explore and hike Redwood Regional park in Oakland for peace, serenity and trees for miles.

Popular for hikers, bikers or picnickers, Wildcat Canyon offers breathtaking views — even spot some animals! Are you going to San Francisco?
