It may not be as exciting as San Francisco, but Oakland still has a enough for a few pleasant days. The city is home to the USS Potomac, a recommendation for your Oakland travel guide, alongside the city’s museum, art galleries and parks. Shopping is fun in Oakland too, especially if you have a passion for hats - there is no men’s hat store like The Hat Guys anywhere else. For gifts, souvenirs, good dining and other shopping opps, follow College Avenue - it’s a local favorite as well.
