Kayak recommends Davis on its 2026 list of college towns worth a weekend visit, citing its “farmers’ market and sustainability-first mindset. It’s an easygoing, under-the-radar NorCal gem.” You may therefore want to spend some of your free time seeing town. This page has advice on how to get around and what to expect from the weather.
Weather

Forecast and current conditions
Bike
Home to the United States’ first-ever bike lane, Davis does its utmost to welcome bicyclists. If you wish to rent a bike while here, you may visit the UC Davis Bike Barn, a short walk from the hotel and conference center. The city is relatively flat and easy to bike around.
Bus
The local bus service, Unitrans, some of whose buses are repurposed London Routemasters, will take you around town. It may be particularly useful for traveling to Oak Avenue destinations.
