Oakland is actually both beautiful and safe in a lot of areas (I would say most but some areas are kind of industrial and run down), and absolutely worth the trip across the bridge (if you rent a car, in which case you should also check out Berkeley and, as mentioned, Alameda).
East bay is far better than the city overall, but if you want to check off the tourist stuff there’s little point in recommending a trip across the bridge.
