San Jose is the major city in the Bay Area of California, and because of this it holds itself in a higher esteem than some other nearby cities. The city is a great place with quality shopping and eating available. The city leans more towards catering for the more wealthy than other areas nearby, and you will see this reflected in the prices you will pay. San Jose is also the High Tech headquarters to several big name IT Companies like Adobe and Ebay, and being such a tech hub location you can find some quality related events and activities. The Tech Museum is a practical exhibit of technological marvels while the Cinequest festival is a film festival that focuses on digital production. A bit of an “off the wall” exhibit is the Winchester Mystery House. Apparently Sarah Winchester got the idea that the ghosts of the people killed by Winchester rifles wouldn’t haunt here as long as she kept building the house. So what happened? Well now you have an insane and incomplete house with some bizarre mazes and lots of ghost stories. And if you want a more European feel in America, head down to Santana Row where the restaurants, pubs and shops are all designed for a different style. This spot probably has the best nightlife in the whole city as well!
