Discover San José

San José, the 10th largest city in the United States and the largest city in Northern California sits between Monterey and San Francisco. San José is the city where high tech brainpower meets friendly, comfortable lifestyle. A familiar slogan for San José is the “Capital of Silicon Valley” as over 6,000 high tech companies are located here. For five years in a row, San José remains the safest big city in the nation for cities with populations of over 500,000.

Unique activities abound in the nation’s safest city. Almost 500,000 people a year visit the themed galleries of The Tech Museum of Innovation. The Tech also features an IMAX Dome Theater, Northern California's only domed IMAX screen. The Children’s Discovery Museum is a unique environment for children to learn and discover. If viewing 3,000-year-old mummies sounds intriguing, then you will want to visit the Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum. The museum houses the largest collection of Egyptian artifacts on the West Coast. The Winchester Mystery House, a 160-room Victorian mansion, is one of the oldest and most noted of haunted houses in California and one of the city’s top ten attractions.

Fun in the sun is guaranteed with over 300 days of sunshine. Anytime of year is a great time to visit San José.
