Tips for tourists

Autumn Berkeley

I can't even remember why we decided to go to Berkeley that time. Either I read something interesting, or it was just a momentary impulse. But in the end, it turned out to be a wonderful walk.


I will say right away that Berkeley is a student city. On its territory is one of the oldest universities in California – the University of California, Berkeley, famous above all for its student spirit and sports teams. But besides this, the city has a lot of interesting things


Autumn enveloped the city in a beautiful warm cloud



City Hall, a very beautiful building from 1909


First Congregational Church



And a little bit of the autumn campus itself


The semi-circular facade of Wellman Hall, built in 1912



Sather Gate, donated by Jane K. Sather in memory of her late husband, Peder Sather, founder of the College of California, which later became the University of California.


A very autumnal Sproul Plaza, the main place of student activity


There are a lot of funny squirrels in the eucalyptus grove, which really want to come closer





At the exit from the grove you can come across a very interesting sculpture – Rotante Dal Foro Centrale (1971), created by Arnaldo Pomodoro



No less autumnal Telegraph Avenue


And finally, one more thing the city is famous for is the sunset view of San Francisco.
