Holidays in Piedmont

Like a big glass of wine on a Friday arvo, travel is always a fantastic idea. So why not pack your well-worn suitcase and experience a taste of Piedmont, Oakland? With so many places to see and things to do, it's not hard to see why 390,000 residents have made this popular city home. Piedmont is 5 kilometres northeast of the centre of town. If you're arriving via Oakland International Airport, you'll need to pick up your luggage, hail a taxi and make your way 12 kilometres north.

This city is jam-packed with things to do, and many of them are found near Piedmont. It's no simple task to pick the best attractions, but the University of California - Berkeley and the Greek Theater are two you should not miss. Don't forget to put the Chabot Space and Science Center and the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive on your schedule too. While you're in town, consider going to a few other neighbourhoods to see more of what Oakland has to offer. Rockridge and Telegraph Avenue are good suggestions that are a short distance away.

You don't need to look hard to find things to do in the city centre. There's a good range of fantastic attractions to keep you on the go, including the Oakland Museum of California.

Broaden your knowledge of the area at the Frank Bette Center for the Arts and the Chabad of the East Bay. These cultural places are not to be missed!

If you luck out and get stuck with a bit of wet weather, head over for some indoor fun at the Lawrence Hall of Science, the Judah L. Magnes Museum, the Magnes Collection of Jewish Art & Life and the Essig Museum of Entomology. The fascinating displays will be sure to keep your imagination buzzing and your body dry!

There's nothing like the feeling of anticipation when a show is about to begin. Take your seat and watch the curtains go up at Berkeley Repertory Theater, the Berkeley Community Theater, the Woodminster Amphitheatre and Fox Theater.

Nothing beats travelling with sprightly kids to help you see things in a new light. Join them on a visit to the Paramount Theatre, the Doe Library, the Museum of Children's Art and the Habitot Children's Museum.

Children love to run around and be active. Luckily enough, there are a handful of places close by you can take them to blow off some steam. Children's Fairyland and Plank are some great choices.

Grab your camera and walk through the close-by natural preserves, such as the University of California Botanical Garden at Berkeley, Sibley Volcanic Regional Preserve, Chickering American River Reserve and Hans Jenny Pygmy Forest Reserve.

Whether you're looking to relax with a good novel in hand or have lunch with some friends, the nearby green spaces are wonderful places to be. Take your pick from Joaquin Miller Park, People's Park, Preservation Park and Lakeside Park and Garden Center.

The shopping experience is what you make it. Whether you're after something in particular or you're planning a shopping spree, you'll have a great time at Oakland City Center, Temescal Farmers' Market, Bay Street and Public Market Emeryville.

The African American Museum, Mountain View Cemetery, USS Potomac and Pardee Home Museum can give you a glimpse back into the area's past.

If you're intrigued by religious sites, you shouldn't miss Cathedral of Christ the Light and the Temple Sinai.

Get kitted out in blue and gold, head to Memorial Stadium and wildly cheer on the California Golden Bears. A trip to this venue is a must for college football fans!
