Art. Culture. Technology. It all comes together in San José, the Capital of Silicon Valley and California’s oldest city. 

San José can’t seem to shake its pioneering ways, pushing into the 21st century as a center of stunning technological innovation and a vanguard for contemporary visual and performing arts. Walking around the city center pulls San José’s intersecting qualities into bright relief. Palm-lined boulevards cut a broad swath through slick mirrored walls, while farm-fresh produce fills open-air markets year round. Sidewalks teem with a vibrant cafe culture.  At night, everything glitters.  Count the ways San José shines.
