Downtown

Just four miles from the Mineta San Jose International Airport, you’ll find the heart of the city in downtown San Jose. With plenty of hotels within walking distance, downtown is easy and convenient to explore. 

One of your first stops should be at the The Tech Interactive – after all, you’re in the tech hub of the world, Silicon Valley. Here, you can get hands-on with the latest technology that you won’t yet find in stores. Afterwards, surround yourself with the culture and history of San Jose with a history tour, or an afternoon at the San Jose Museum of Art or the San Jose Museum of Quilts and Textiles. And with over 250 multicultural restaurants to choose from, it's very easy to refuel between activities.

For the ultimate nightlife experience, head over to the SoFA district for a specialty cocktail, or a night of dancing at The Continental Bar and Lounge. Be sure to take advantage of the San Jose Brew Bike for a fun day of exploring the city's dive bars and breweries of San Jose. However you plan your stay, you’ll feel the spirit of downtown and the true pulse of San Jose.
