We have added individual listings of hundreds of Oakland businesses, destinations
and activities to the pages of this Web site. We hope it makes it easy for
you to find exactly what you want, as well as to browse and learn what wondrous
opportunities are available here.
Most of these listings include addresses, phone numbers, and descriptions.
Many have photos (click on any one to expand it) and links to the individual
Web sites of those businesses or organizations themselves. Most are also shown
on our custom-designed neighborhood maps, which can be used to also learn what
else is nearby, in the same neighborhood – to let you explore Oakland
right from your own keyboard.
To best use any of our listings, simply find the page (perhaps using the site
map) that most generally describes what you’re looking for – dining
or accommodations or attractions, for example. Each page includes a “drop-down” list
of neighborhoods, and also a list of more detailed search categories. If
you have already selected a neighborhood, selecting a category will then
show you what’s available from that category in that neighborhood.
If you’re looking for a wider list, try changing your search either
to all locations or all categories.
Click the mapit button beside any listing to see a map of that neighborhood,
with your selection highlighted. Move the cursor around the map to find out
what’s next door or across the street. Use the legend on the right to
look for similar destinations on the map by color, or read down a list by categories
from that map.
At any time, if you can’t find what you’re looking for, please
use our text search tool at the top of most listings pages to find what you
want by entering a keyword of your choice.
Do you know of a place that you believe should be in our listings, but doesn’t
seem to be there?
Please send us a note to info@OaklandCVB.com and
let us know about it
