San Jose and Silicon Valley Travel Guide

To many the South Bay is synonymous with Silicon Valley, the center of high-tech research and the corporate headquarters of such giants as Apple, Sun Microsystems, Oracle, and Hewlett-Packard. But Silicon Valley is more a state of mind than a place—it's an attitude held by the legions of software engineers, programmers, and computerphiles who call the area home. That home is becoming increasingly visitor-friendly; within the sprawl are appealing towns whose histories stretch back centuries, a thriving arts scene, and shops and restaurants to satisfy the most discerning tastes.
