Rent a Bus To Visit Berkeley Neighborhoods
Looking for some more places to explore in Berkeley? You could always just ride around and enjoy all the views with a Charter Bus Berkeley bus rental! Your driver can pick everyone up in the morning from your lodging and take you anywhere. When booking, if you’d like some suggestions, check out these hot spots and local-favorite neighborhoods:
Downtown Berkeley
As a pedestrian-friendly hub of locally-loved businesses, restaurants, shops, and historic destinations, this is a great place to wander around or host a private event. Enjoy the art at Berkeley Repertory Theatre, catch a music performance or talk show at UC Theatre Taube Family Music Hall, get your geek on at Games of Berkeley, browse international literature at Moe’s Books, or visit the Berkeley Historical Society to admire the history of the Downtown Berkeley Art Deco District.
Telegraph Avenue
This is a college-town, bohemian commercial district full of international bookstores, record shops, and student-run co-ops. Telegraph Avenue was the original site of the famed Berkeley riots of 1969, as well as modern peaceful protests, marches, and community gatherings. And as it would turn out, its history is reflected in much of the shopping and dining today, featuring an array of fair trade, organic food vendors, and eco-friendly merchandise to support the greater good.
Southside
Located near UC Berkeley’s Greek Theatre, much of this neighborhood revolves around student activities, housing, and university resources. It’s located right on the border of Oakland, too, making it easy to get to from destinations in that nearby city, or as a launching point from which to explore the East Bay! Get your friends together, and plan your party at Raleigh’s Pub, one of Berkeley’s most notable music clubs.
West Berkeley
For locals, it’s sometimes called “Westbrae.” This neighborhood sits west of Downtown and has some of the oldest Victorian-era residential buildings in Berkeley and across the entire Bay Area.
