San Francisco has historically been the most famous city by the bay, and most visitors overlook Oakland. This is a mistake, as Oakland is an exciting destination with new attractions popping up by the month and a modern, hip flair that's like a smaller, quieter San Fran without the fog.

If you dig deep enough, you’ll discover countless unexpected sights and things to do in Northern California.

Anywhere you go along the Golden State coastline, beaches work their magic. Some are rugged and inaccessible; others are crowded with people and activities.

Located 10 minutes outside of Downtown Los Angeles, Pasadena feels a world away from the excitement of the urban jungle.
