Livermore, Northern California, might be the most populous city in the Tri-Valley area, but you’d never guess it from all the small-town charm. Located in Alameda County, Livermore sits on the eastern edge of the San Francisco Bay area. With a temperate climate, vibrant downtown, and family fun activities, it’s no wonder Livermore is the friendliest town in Northern California.

Take a leisurely stroll down First Street and browse the shops.

Management/TripAdvisor Livermore has taken care to preserve its historical buildings. Its charming downtown area is full of interesting shops to explore.

Stop by the splash pad on a hot summer day and let the kids cool off.
