San Jose is the largest city in Northern California and the self-described Capital of Silicon Valley. Cisco, Adobe, eBay, PayPal and Zoom are headquartered here, and the surrounding cities hold Apple in Cupertino, Google in Mountain View, Nvidia and Intel in Santa Clara and Stanford University in Palo Alto. Semiconductors, hardware, software and the venture firms of Sand Hill Road make this one of the most concentrated business regions anywhere, and executives, engineers and founders travel in and out constantly.

Mineta San Jose International sits just a few miles from downtown, and Reid-Hillview serves the east side, so you can land close to the campuses rather than driving down the Peninsula from San Francisco. That matters for day trips to suppliers, customers and investors elsewhere in the West, and for escaping on weekends to Monterey, Carmel, Lake Tahoe or Napa without fighting Bay Area traffic. In town, visitors find the Winchester Mystery House, Santana Row’s shops and restaurants, San Jose Sharks hockey and 49ers football at nearby Levi’s Stadium.

Things to do in San Jose

When to go. San Jose enjoys warm, dry summers and mild winters, with more sunshine and heat than San Francisco. Most rain falls between November and March, when the surrounding hills turn green, and spring is the prettiest time for drives into the Santa Cruz Mountains. Fall stays warm into October. December brings Christmas in the Park downtown, and the 49ers season at Levi’s Stadium and Sharks hockey keep weekends busy from fall through spring.
