Berkeley, California

Population: 102,743

Bordering the beautiful San Francisco Bay in sunny California, Berkeley's reputation for anti-war protests and flower children may have faded somewhat since the mid-70s, but it still maintains its liberal attitude, upgrading from VW buses to hybrid vehicles. Best known as home to the University of California-Berkeley, the city is awash in districts catering to the college crowd. College Avenue is a top nightlife destination, with a mellow scene frequented by graduate students, while Telegraph Avenue is famous for its independent bookstores, ethnic restaurants and captivating street entertainers. The Downtown Arts District is instantly recognizable by its many public art displays and is filled with cafes, galleries and performance companies, including the Tony Award-winning Berkeley Repertory Theatre.
