Diversity is the lifeblood of Oakland, a city where more than 100 languages and dialects are spoken. That translates into an ethnically integrated city offering activities and dining as diverse as its population. Located along the San Francisco Bay, Oakland is a city bustling with business, culture, sports, nightlife, and outdoor recreation. The climate here helps fuel the city's active lifestyle, where summer and fall temperatures hover in the 70s and mild winter and spring seasons are in the 50s and 60s. Take advantage of Oakland's two lakes, waterfront activities, 19 miles of shoreline, Bay views, parks, and open spaces. You can stroll along charming neighborhoods and enjoy a cup of coffee, tea, or a casual meal at one of the locally owned cafes, or stop in at a bakery or old-fashioned ice cream parlor. Many of these shops can be found along Oakland's famous College Avenue. The city has also added a few wineries that you can visit. The architecture of Oakland celebrates the city's rich culture and Gold Rush-era history. Elegantly restored Victorian buildings dating back to the 19th century can be found in historic Old Oakland, where many of the structures have been converted into shops. Markets, bakeries, and other stores can be found in the city's Chinatown area. Some memorable pieces of history are at Jack London Square, where FDR's Floating White House and the USS Potomac are docked. And don't miss Lake Merritt, a scenic saltwater lake and wildlife refuge.
