Berkeley is a lively, walkable college city anchored by UC Berkeley, with abundant cafes, farmers’ markets, eclectic restaurants, theaters and live music, plus easy access to outdoor escapes like Tilden Park and the waterfront — great for comfortable, engaging multi-week stays.
Rapid transit and bridges put you a short trip from San Francisco’s museums and nightlife and Oakland’s vibrant food and arts scenes, so weekends always offer plenty to do.
