Nogales is one of the most important entry points in the United States due to its location right on the border with Mexico. The city of Nogales actually exists both in the United States and Mexico, with the Mexican side hosting most of the downtown area. It is for this reason that the city is one of the most popular destinations for shopping. The city is a haven of inexpensive and beautiful artisan items for tourists to bring home, so don't forget to bring some extra pocket money! To learn some of the area's history, stop by the Pimeria Alta History Museum.
Due to the city's heritage, its food scene features some of the best Mexican dishes around. Notable local establishments on the Arizona side of the city include Cocina La Ley, El Zarape, and Machi Seafood if you'd like a bit more of a marine taste.
Nogales can be easily reached by bus, which is a convenient option if you'd like to walk into Nogales, Sonora for a day trip in Mexico - just make sure to pack a passport to cross the border! There is a small Nogales International Airport, but most commercial flights operate out of Tucson, about 70 miles north.

Oakland, CA is a port city that is beginning to step out of the shadow of San Francisco, its neighbor to the west. Every visitor should start their Oakland trip in the downtown area and Old Oakland, the city's historic quarter full of quaint old buildings. While here, don't forget to take a short detour to Oakland's famous Chinatown as well. The African American Museum and Library at Oakland tells the history of Black communities in the area and is definitely worth a stop. For those who would prefer to stay close to nature, Dr. Aurelia Reinhardt Redwood Regional Park's abundance of redwood groves will offer amazing views.
Oakland's food scene is vibrant and diverse, with a wide range of offerings for all budgets. Enssaro is a popular local name with mid-range dishes that will whet your appetite. For an excellent haute-cuisine dinner, head towards The Wolf.
It's easy to get around the Bay Area on local public transit (called the BART, for Bay Area Rapid Transit). Getting to Oakland from further afield is also a breeze thanks to many intercity bus routes in the area and Amtrak's Capitol Corridor train, which stops in Oakland.
