Though Oakland is often overshadowed by its cross-bay neighbour, San Francisco, there is plenty to see and do in ‘Oaktown’. The city is served by an international airport and is connected to the other urban centres of San Francisco Bay via a series of highways and bridges.
Oakland is only a short distance from some truly magnificent natural attractions, including coastal redwood pockets and stunning upland sites. Driving around Oakland with a recreational vehicle hire is an excellent way to see the sights, both in and out of the city. The roads are well maintained, especially those leading to and from Oakland’s busy international airport.

About the airport
Located only five miles to the south of downtown Oakland, the city’s primary airport handles both domestic and international flights. Both Allegiant Air and Southwest Airlines use the facility as a focus airport, carrying the majority of the nine million passengers which pass through the airport annually. The two-terminal airport receives most international flights at Terminal 1, while domestic routes are catered for at both terminals 1 and 2.
Oak Airport is one of three airports serving the San Francisco Bay area. It is connected to the downtown area of the city via Interstate 880, which is also known as the Nimitz Freeway. Motorhome rental makes for an excellent transport option from the terminals.
