Review:

Oakland is a Northern California city that is situated along the eastern shores of San Francisco Bay, directly across the bay from the city of San Francisco. Near Chinatown, visitors can explore exhibitions relating to art, nature, and state history, at the Oakland Museum of California. The city’s Uptown area features the art deco Paramount and Fox theaters, along with impressive art galleries, trendy bars, and renowned restaurants. Oakland is a city with tons of charm, especially when it comes to its restored Victorian boutiques and architecture. Visitors will want to check out the Oakland Zoo, Lake Merritt, Cabot Space & Science Center, and Redwood Regional Park.
