Overview

Commonly regarded as a working class town � in stark contrast to their more flashy neighbors across the bay � Oakland offers much more than many people realize. For starters, the climate is rated among the best in the nation; the port has become one of the busiest on the entire West Coast; and the scenic redwood-covered hills nearby offer outstanding hiking and camping. This urban town is also blessed with a number of cultural Oakland attractions, including a highly acclaimed zoo, a major symphony and ballet, plus a number of diverse Oakland restaurants and entertainment venues. The trendy Grand Avenue area is always bustling with energy and activity. And for professional sports fans, the Raiders, Athletics and Warriors provide plenty of thrills. Oakland also possesses a convenient transportation system, thanks to BART, the Bay Area Rapid Transit System.
