Bright skies in Silicon Valley

San Jose and Silicon Valley may be known for its tech companies, but it’s also an urban retreat complete with wineries, restaurants, and attractions where the minutes are sure to fly. The famous Winchester Mystery House draws crowds from all over the United States, and the neighboring coastline is a surfing hotspot.

So go for a spin around one of the biggest Californian cities, or take a coastal day trip to discover why many call the Bay Area paradise.

Winchester Mystery House

The Winchester Mystery House was the lifelong project of eccentric widow Sarah Winchester, who spent 38 years renovating the mansion without a master building plan. Said to be haunted, this sprawling historical landmark is now a top museum for visitors from around the world.

California’s Great America

If you’re in the mood for a great time, you can’t go wrong with a visit to California’s Great America. With shopping, shows, and rides galore, this amusement park is reasonably-priced fun for the whole family.

The Tech Interactive

A visit to Silicon Valley wouldn’t be complete without a stop at the Tech Interactive, San Jose’s Museum of Innovation. Explore hands-on activities, see exhibits, and experience the IMAX theatre. A place to inspire the next generation, a visit here might just spark the next big idea.

Santa Cruz

Only 42 minutes away, Santa Cruz boasts stunning boardwalk views, local shops and eateries, and natural rock formations. A mecca for surfers, it’s also home to the Coney Island of the West, the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, where you can ride a wooden roller coaster and a vintage carousel.

Napa

About an hour and 30 minutes north, you’ll find California’s wine country. In Napa, you’re free to book wine tours to your heart’s content, wander the charming, colorful downtown, and wine and dine in high style.

Half Moon Bay

Another surfing destination is Half Moon Bay. But while it’s popular for the huge waves around Pillar Point, it’s also a laid-back vacation spot sure to be a hit with boaters, beach-combers, and hikers. Cliffside ambles and whale and seal viewing are among the treasures Half Moon Bay has to offer.

Best San Jose driving roads

Purple squiggle

Skyline Boulevard

Take the scenic route through the beautiful heart of California’s Bay Area. On the curvy Skyline Boulevard, you’ll see lush forests, dramatic mountains, and crystal clear views of the San Mateo Peninsula. Make a pit stop at Alice’s Restaurant for a quick, delicious bite to eat.

Sierra Road

With steep curves and beautiful wildflowers, Sierra Road is a short yet pleasant ride. But the real magic happens at the top. Plan to get there around sunset and you’ll be rewarded with the most jaw-dropping view of San Jose in the area. Stay a little longer for the sparkling city lights.

Junipero Serra Freeway

The 55-mile interstate 280 stretches from San Jose to San Francisco, with plenty of spots to pull off for scenic views of the Santa Cruz Mountains to the west and the San Francisco Bay to the east. It’s also a great gateway to the amazing city by the bay.
