What to do in Berkeley?

Berkeley has its fair share of cutting-edge museums and galleries, most of which are linked to the University of California. These include the excellent Lawrence Hall of Science, home to a planetarium and 3D experiences, the Magnes Collection of Jewish Art and Life, an important center for Jewish diaspora arts, and the Phoebe A. Hearst Museum of Anthropology, an important research center. If you visit only one museum, however, make it the groundbreaking Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive, an impressive stainless-steel structure with contemporary art and an impressive film collection.

Tip: The arts scene is very much alive in Berkeley. Head to Addison Street, in your car rental from Berkeley, to experience the town’s artistic heart. There you’ll find everything from performance-art spaces to live music venues. It’s a great place to spend the evening experiencing the number of fine eateries and jazz cafes.
