Sheltered by rolling hills and the San Francisco Bay, Berkeley is a vibrant and spirited city of surpassing richness.

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-premiere play or first-run film, embark on a sport fishing excursion or enjoy an architectural walking tour.

Consummately Californian in its setting but international in its cultural landscape Berkeley is home to the University of California, Berkeley, which lends an academic air to the entire city. With its wealth of culture and social diversity, dining and shopping opportunities and recreational pursuits, Berkeley is a compact city offering an exciting range of visitor options.

Berkeley is a lively marketplace with an atmosphere wonderfully conducive to the art of shopping. Here, shopping is not a passive, enclosed-mall experience - instead it's an interactive, outdoor-oriented activity where window-shopping and walking complement the excitement of discovery.

Berkeley is a short drive east of San Francisco. Situated on the shore of the San Francisco Bay and stretching through its coastal plain and into a scenic range of foothills, Berkeley is a city that occupies a classic stretch of coastal California.

Its twists and turns of terrain have enabled Berkeley to develop a sylvan integration of shops, parks, streets and greenbelts. Its leafy avenues and craggy hillsides cradle  vibrant metropolitan city scene.
