Berkley Convention & Visitors Bureau

Berkeley is a vibrant and spirited place that may surprise those who still see it as the counter-culture center of the Sixties. Free Speech and “Flower Power” are forever in the city’s “DNA,” but Berkeley has evolved into a culinary and cultural travel destination with a “green” soul. Chances are that you’ll still see more tie-dye per capita in Berkeley, but a deeper look reveals a small yet dynamic city that is consummately Californian in setting, international in cultural outlook, and filled with superb restaurants, shops, theaters and cafes.
