5 Top-Rated Places to Visit in Berkeley, USA
Renowned for its prestigious university and appreciated for its offbeat Bohemian spirit, Berkeley is a stimulating place to visit. The university's inspiring Neoclassical buildings stand loftily in a woodsy hilltop location overlooking the San Francisco Bay. Although this idyllic setting feels completely removed from the world, the campus was the birthplace of the Free Speech Movement and the renegade hippie counterculture of the 1960s. Chaotic and bustling Sproul Plaza continues to be an intense scene of student activity: Students, social activists, and drummers still gather here to express themselves in ways that are impossible to ignore. Besides being an intellectual center, Berkeley is a hub for entertainment and gourmet dining. The local organic food movement began here in the '70s with Chez Panisse, a delightful French-California style bistro that's an obligatory stop for foodies. Tourists can enjoy a delicious meal in the Gourmet Ghetto and then watch a world-class performance at one of Berkeley's award-winning theaters. Nature lovers also have a good reason to visit: The city's gorgeous parks and botanical gardens offer spectacular floral displays and stunning panoramic views. Let's see five best places to visit in Berkeley, California.
1. U.C. Berkeley
2. Gourmet Ghetto
3. Lawrence Hall of Science
4. Tilden Park
5. Botanical Garden

5 Top-Rated Tourist Attractions in Oakland, US
Named after the shady oak trees native to this area, Oakland is the smaller city across the San Francisco Bay that has become a hip, up-and-coming destination in its own right. Gertrude Stein would no longer be able to say: there is no there there. While Oakland used to be considered a nondescript manufacturing city, nowadays the town has real style, and much of the locally-made goods are handcrafted artisanal products. A true melting pot, Oakland is home to a diverse population. The city's vibrant African-American community brought traditional soul food, and immigrants from all over the world have opened Ethiopian, Indian, Italian, Mexican, Thai, and other authentic ethnic restaurants that make visiting the city so interesting. Tourists will also enjoy the lively street fairs and summer festivals where multicultural music, dance, and gourmet food awaits. Let's see five tourist attractions in Oakland, California.
1. Lake Merritt
2. Jack London Square
3. Oakland Museum of California
4. Historic Theaters
5. Redwood Regional Park
