Berkeley is on San Francisco's East Shore in northern California and is home to about 120,000 residents. It sits within Alameda County and is named after the 18th-century philosopher George Berkeley. The city houses the oldest University of California campus as well as the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. The city is also home to the Graduate Theological Union, a massive religious studies institution. Berkeley sits on the opposite side of the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco, so it shares a similar Mediterranean climate characterized by wet winters and dry summers.
When visiting Berkeley, make sure to visit the University of California, Berkeley campus to view its unbelievable architecture and beautiful grounds. Golden Gate Fields is a top destination for fine dining and horse racing, while Tilden Regional Park has 2,000 acres of land and a variety of recreational activities. If the weather is pleasant, head to the Berkeley Marina to go sailing or explore its trails. Another top attraction is the Lawrence Hall of Science, a museum with hands-on exhibits and a planetarium.
