Things to Do in Oakland

Snap some pics of the iconic 16th Street Station (a former train station, in case you didn't know, and now an event hall). Next, get a history lesson at the African American Museum and Library and take the suggested walking tour downtown to stretch out your legs. Spend an afternoon in Joaquin Miller Park, gawk at the huge redwood trees and check out the USS Potomac , a former presidential yacht that's likely a quick walk from your Oakland accommodation.

At night, attend a live performance at the famous Fox Theater, have a meal in Chinatown or, if you’re visiting from October through June, go root on the Warriors basketball team at Oracle Arena. If partying is your game, search downtown and around Piedmont Avenue for a watering hole that suits your style. holidays in Oakland offer you a variety of ways to have fun; dig in like it's a buffet.
