GROUND TRANSPORTATION
The most convenient airports to Walnut Creek are the San Francisco International Airport (SFO) and Oakland International Airport (OAK). The Oakland Airport is closer to Walnut Creek, but SFO offers an easier and more economical connection to Walnut Creek via the local train system, Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART), which stops near several Walnut Creek hotels. (Local shuttle service to your hotel should be arranged through the hotel.) Rental cars, shuttles, cabs, etc., are also available at both airports. See the links below for further information:
