About Oakland
Oakland is a diverse city on the east side of San Francisco Bay, with a lakeside park, an Art Deco downtown, waterfront squares and redwood hills.
Oakland lies across San Francisco Bay from San Francisco, a port city of hills, neighbourhoods and waterfront. Lake Merritt, a tidal lagoon in the middle of the city, is ringed by a path and gardens, and Jack London Square, on the estuary, recalls the writer who spent his youth on these shores. The Paramount Theatre is an Art Deco landmark in the downtown, and the modern Cathedral of Christ the Light stands beside Lake Merritt.
Top-ranked sights in Oakland: USS Hornet (USS Hornet Sea, Air & Space Museum).
