WelcomeWhether you are visiting for business, for pleasure or to attend a conference or other event at Stanford Uni-versity, you will quickly discover the unusual blend of intellect, innovation, culture and natural beauty that makes the Palo Alto area so special.

Palo Alto’s home to Nobel Prize winners, Silicon Valley CEOs, venture capital fi rms, Hewlett-Packard and one of the most renowned universities and medical cen-ters in the world.

While Palo Alto developed as a sleepy college town, the emergence of Stanford University in the 1970s as the nation’s leading high-technology research center paved the way for hundreds of start-up businesses with connections to Stanford professors and their in-ventions. Thus Palo Alto became known as the birth-place of Silicon Valley and attracted engineers and others from all over the world to pursue their dreams.

The Stanford campus itself is the biggest visitor attrac-tion, and visitors could easily spend a day or longer exploring the beautiful campus.

But at a minimum any visit should also include a walk or drive through the tree-lined residential neighbor-hoods (among the costliest in the nation), a walk in the foothills or Baylands and some great shopping and eating in the several business districts.

For our list of 10 sites not to miss while you are visiting, look in the “Attractions” section.

Enjoy!

a t t r a c t i o n sThe Palo Alto and Stanford area offers things to do for all ages and interests. Our favorite recommendations for out-of-town visitors are listed below. The numbers shown in parentheses are the location markers on the map on pages 32 and 33.

A trip to the Stanford University campus is the high-light for most visitors, where attractions include Hoover Tower, Memorial Church, Cantor Arts Center, Rodin Sculpture Garden and a central campus bus-tling with activity (see page 16).

Filoli Estate & Gardens (1)86 Caňada Road, Woodside; 650-364-8300; www.filoli.orgStanding for “Fight, Love, Live,” Filoli Gardens is one of the most magnificent remaining country estates and gardens of the early 20th century. The 43-room estate, built for Mr. and Mrs. William Bourne in 1917, allows visitors to enjoy a collection of 17th and 18th century antiques. The spectacular gardens, made up of terraces, pathways, pools, lawns, foliage, trees and flowerbeds, are perfectly groomed and ever-chang-ing based on the time of year. The gardens are most known for their collection of more than 500 varieties of roses. Whether your goal is to enjoy the peaceful at-mosphere or learn about the various plant collections, a stroll through the exquisite gardens will not leave you disappointed. The gardens and estate are open to

visitors from mid-February through October.

Cantor Arts Center (4)328 Lomita Drive (at Museum Way); 650-723-4177; www.museum.stanford.eduStanford family members created the museum to dis-play their personal collection of objects of art and cul-tural interest; now, the museum’s collections are devot-ed to a wide range of art, from 19th century American drawings to contemporary sculptures. While at the cen-ter, visitors should be sure to visit Stanford’s outdoor sculptures: the Rodin Sculpture Garden, which houses the largest collection of Auguste Rodin sculptures out-side of Paris, the Papua New Guinea Sculpture Garden as well as numerous other pieces throughout the cam-pus. Admission to the museum is free, and visitors can take advantage of docent tours, lectures, gallery talks, special events, the bookstore and the cafe overlooking the sculpture gardens. Open Wednesday through Sun-day, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Thursday 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Hoover Tower (5)Stanford University; 650-723-2053; www.stanford.edu/dept/visitorinfo/plan/guides/hoover.htmlVisible to all the surrounding areas, Hoover Tower is a landmark to Stanford students, faculty, alumni and the local communities. The 285-foot tower off ers spectacu-lar views of Stanford campus, the Foothills and the Bay Area from its observation deck. A tour guide is available to point out important landmarks and sights. Finished in 1941 to celebrate the university’s 50th an-niversary, the landmark is part of the Hoover Institu-tion on War, Revolution and Peace. The breathtaking views and historical background make a visit to Hoover Tower a truly one-of-a-kind Palo Alto experience. Cost is $2 for adults and $1 seniors and children under 12. Open daily 10 a.m.-4 p.m.

Stanford Dish Walk (6)Along Junipero Serra Boulevard, between Page Mill Road and Alpine Road, StanfordRain or shine, you’ll fi nd hundreds of locals and Stan-ford students walking or jogging the trail at The Dish, named after the large old radio-telescope used for research in the Stanford foothills and visible from throughout the area.The paved trail climbs the hills and off ers spectacular views of the Peninsula, the campus and the coastal mountains. The main loop trail is 3.5 miles and takes about an hour and 15 minutes to walk. Most visitors park on Stanford Avenue, then enter through the gate at Junipero Serra Blvd. The Alpine gate entrance is near Interstate 280 on Alpine Rd. at Piers Lane; the trail from there intersects with the main loop trail near the big dish and adds about a mile and a half to the full loop. Be sure not to park on the side streets where Stanford residential parking permits are required or you’ll be ticketed. No dogs or bicycles are allowed. Hours: sunrise to sunset (from 6 or 6:30 a.m. to 5:30 to 8 p.m. depending on the season).

HP Garage (7)367 Addison Ave., Palo AltoKnown as the birthplace of Silicon Valley, the HP ga-rage is a symbol of innovation and entrepreneurism. College friends Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard pur-chased the garage in 1938 as a workspace to develop their own company, which has become one of the most successful in the country. The modest building

served as a research lab and a development and man-ufacturing workshop. However, as the company grew, the garage was quickly outgrown, and the company moved to a larger headquarters. The property is cur-rently listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Although the garage is not open for public tours, feel free to observe and photograph the property from the street and imagine the pioneers of the electronics revolution chasing their innovative dream.

Gamble Garden (8)1431 Waverley St., Palo Alto; 650-329-1356; www.gamblegarden.orgWilled to the City of Palo Alto by Elizabeth F. Gamble in 1981, the 2.5-acre Gamble Garden Center features a 1902 Colonial/Georgian Revival house and formal, work-ing and demonstration gardens. The historic property is now a nonprofi t community horticultural foundation and places an emphasis on education as well as aes-thetic beauty. The demonstration gardens include an herb garden and cutting beds. The estate also includes a carriage house, teahouse, tool house, greenhouse and a gazebo. Conveniently located and open to the public daily during daylight hours at no charge, a visit to Gam-ble Garden Center is always a relaxing experience.

Palo Alto Baylands (9)East end of Embarcadero Road, Palo Alto; Baylands Nature Interpretive Center: 650-329-2506; Baylands Preserve: 650-617-3156; www.cityofpaloalto.org/gov/depts/csd/parks/preserves/baylands.aspThe Baylands protects some of the last remaining salt-marsh and mud-fl at habitats on the West Coast. It off ers excellent birding year-round. Wintertime high tides bring bird watchers from around the world. In the spring and fall, the Baylands is a prime stopover and destination for birds traveling on the Pacifi c route of their migration fl yway.

Computer History Museum (10)1401 N. Shoreline Blvd., Mountain View; 650-810-1010; www.computerhistory.orgDedicated to the preservation and celebration of com-puting history, the Computer History Museum houses one of the largest international collections of comput-ing artifacts in the world, including computer hardware, ephemera, photographs, moving images, documents, software and some of the very fi rst computers from the 1940s and 1950s.

Admission to the museum is $12-$15. Docent--led tours are available for groups of 10 or more by making a reservation at least 45 days prior to arrival. The museum is open Wednesday through Sunday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

s h o p p i n gIn addition to the world-renowned Stanford Shop-ping Center (hours: Mon.-Fri. 10 a.m.-9 p.m., Sat. 10 a.m.-7 p.m., Sun. 11 a.m.-6 p.m., www.stanfordshop.com), Palo Alto features a vibrant downtown shop-ping district (see parking, page 22), a quieter but pop-ular shopping and restaurant district centered around California Avenue just south of the Stanford campus, and Town & Country Village, a specialty center on El Camino Real across from Stanford Stadium.

Visitors will fi nd cafes and a wide variety of restaurants in all four shopping areas, as well as in neighboring down-towns of Menlo Park, Los Altos and Mountain View.

Downtown Palo Alto is crowded on Friday and Satur-day nights, when restaurant reservations are advised and parking can be diffi cult. Many downtown retailers are open in the evenings to cater to the bar and restau-rant crowd. California Avenue features a large num-ber of good restaurants popular with local residents, as does Castro Street in Mountain View.

Major grocery and drug stores are conveniently locat-ed. One of the biggest Safeway stores in the entire chain is located on El Camino Real in Menlo Park, less than a mile from Palo Alto’s northern border. Whole Foods has locations in downtown Palo Alto and just south of Palo Alto in Los Altos, and Mollie Stone’s operates a full-ser-vice market and deli on California Avenue.

CVS Pharmacy has locations in Town & Country Village, on University Avenue in downtown Palo Alto, and in the Midtown shopping area on Middlefi eld Road south of Oregon Expressway. Walgreens has locations on University Avenue, in Midtown and on El Camino in Palo Alto, and in downtown Menlo Park.

Both downtown Palo Alto and the California Avenue business district hold popular Farmers Markets, featuring live music, local produce and artisan foods. Downtown’s market is on Saturday mornings from 8 a.m. to noon starting May 11 and is held in the park-ing lot behind the post offi ce at Hamilton Avenue and Gilman Street. The market on California Avenue closes down several blocks and is held on Sunday mornings year-round between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m.

s t a n f o r d u n i v e r s i t yThe Stanford University campus is one of the larg-est and most beautiful in the country and deserves a visit regardless of the reason for your stay in the Palo Alto area.

Guided one-hour walking tours leave every day at 11 a.m. and 3:15 p.m. from the Stanford Visitor Center, 295 Galvez St. (at Campus Drive); 650-723-2560 — Visitor Information Services; visitorinformation.stanford.edu.

Learn more about Stanford’s history, architecture, landmarks and art by downloading a Podcast Tour at www.stanford.edu/dept/visitorinfo.

If you are short on time, the formal and most dramatic entrance is from Palm Drive, which approaches the Oval, the Main Quadrangle and Memorial Church from the east and downtown Palo Alto. The Quad is the aca-demic center of the university, with various depart-ments having their classrooms and offices throughout the perimeter.

The non-denominational Memorial Church (450 Serra Mall; 650-723-1762; www.stanford.edu/group/religiou-slife/memchu.html) is generally open each week day. Visitors may explore the art and architecture Monday through Friday, 8 a.m.-5 p.m. and Sunday, 11:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m. Services, events and weddings can make ac-cess on weekends difficult, but a weekly ecumenical worship featuring choir and organ music is held each Sunday at 10 a.m. and open to the public.

For a great view of the entire campus and Palo Alto, take the elevator up to the top of 285-foot tall Hoover Tower, the university’s most visible landmark and just a short walk from the Quad. Admission to the tower observa-tion deck (daily 10 a.m.-4 p.m.; closed during academic recess) is $2 for adults, $1 for children and seniors.

The Hoover Institution on War, Revolution and Peace (650-723-1754), at the corner of Serra and Galvez streets, offers free exhibits on President Her-bert Hoover and his wife, Lou Henry Hoover. An exhib-it called “Art and History: Treasures from the Hoover Library and Archives” opened in April in the Herbert Hoover Memorial Exhibit Pavilion, adjacent to Hoover Tower and will run until December 20. The exhibit showcases art from the Hoover Library and archives, such as political cartoons, posters and drawings. (Tuesday-Saturday 11 a.m.-4 p.m.). www.hoover.org

Art and architectureArt lovers will find many great Stanford resources, but be sure and visit the Cantor Arts Center (see page 8) and the adjacent Rodin Sculpture Garden, with the largest collection of Rodin bronzes outside Paris. The Cantor, which offers free admission, is a popular cul-tural resource for the entire region. While on campus, don’t miss the Stanford Papua New Guinea Sculpture Garden (Santa Teresa Street, off Campus Drive West), near Roble Hall, or pick up an Outdoor Art Tour, leaving from the Main Quad, near the top of the Oval.

Architecture fans may try to visit Hanna House, de-signed by Frank Lloyd Wright, based on a hexagonal module. Reservations are required, for those 12 years and older for tours offered the first and third Sunday, three tours beginning at 11 a.m., and on the second and fourth Saturday, three tours beginning at 11 a.m. Cost is $10 plus $5 parking fee. Call 650-725-8352 or visit hannahousetours.stanford.edu.

SportsStanford’s intercollegiate athletic program is the top-rated in the nation, and visitors can usually choose from among multiple sports events every weekend when school is in session. For up-to-date information see the Stanford Athletics website (www.gostanford.com), call 800-STANFORD (800-782-6367) or visit PA Sports Online (www.PAsportsonline.com).Stanford athletics venues are all located at the eastern side of the campus, a short walk from Town & Country Village at the corner of El Camino Real and Embarca-dero Road.

ParkingPay parking is available daily between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., either in coin-metered spaces ($1.50 per hour) or Pay and Display lots. Machines at lots accept credit cards, cash or coins. Visitor day permits can be pur-chased for $12 at 340 Bonair Siding, Stanford. The two closest lots to 295 Galvez St., a starting point for cam-pus tours, are on the corner of Galvez Street and Nel-son Road, and Galvez Street and Memorial Way. Other lots are scattered around the periphery of campus. Call 650-723-9362.

Stanford’s gateway website www.stanford.edu pro-vides detailed information on the university and links to help visitors and prospective students.

“I’ve never expected the quality of service Gretchen provided. It was beyond my expectations. I felt like I was the only customer that she was attending but I know that I wasn’t. The friend that recommended me to contact her has the same opinion. She’s excellent at making things happen.” C.M.

r e c r e a t i o n The Palo Alto area offers recreational opportunities for almost every interest, from the casual walker to those looking for serious hiking, biking, golfing, tennis and other activities.

Immensely popular among locals and visitors, walkers and runners, is the Stanford “Dish” loop (see page 8), a paved path winding through the Stanford foothills with tremendous views of the university, Palo Alto and the entire Peninsula. The Baylands Nature Preserve (see page 9), located at the end of Embarcadero Road, offers miles of flat walking trials that allow visitors to explore the area’s extensive wildlife habitat. A staffed visitor’s center has exhibits and a boardwalk extend-ing into the bay and the nearby duck pond is a fun place for younger kids. The Pearson-Arastradero Preserve, in the foothills beyond Stanford, has a small unstaffed visitor’s center with exhibits and a network of easy trails ideal for one- to two-hour hikes.

Casual walkers with an interest in history and architec-ture will enjoy one of several historical walks around Palo Alto residential neighborhoods that date back to the late 1800s and early 1900s. Historic preservation is a big part of Palo Alto’s culture, and historic home tours take place a number of times each year. Palo Alto Stanford Heritage offers self-guided tours through its website at www.pastheritage.org.

Golfers will find Palo Alto’s popular full-length 18-hole, 6,800-yard Palo Alto Municipal Golf Course (1875 Embarcadero Road, Palo Alto; 650-856-0881; www.cityofpaloalto.org), located next to the Baylands at the end of Embarcadero Road, both challenging and affordable. The facility includes a club house, driv-ing range, putting green and practice bunker. Those

with a connection to Stanford (alumni or parents) are able to play (with some restrictions and at resort-level green fees) at the Stanford Golf Course (198 Junipero Serra Blvd., Stanford; 650-724-0944 for golf course, 650-498-4461 for driving range; http://stanfordgolf-course.com), a beautiful and long course that is oper-ated by the university for its faculty and students and the private members who wait years on a waiting list to join. Mountain View’s Shoreline Links (2940 N. Shoreline Blvd., Mountain View; 650-903-4653; www.ci.mtnview.ca.us), also located in the baylands, is an-other good option.

Public tennis courts in Palo Alto are generally well maintained and easy to access. Most convenient to hotels are courts at Palo Alto High School (enter from 25 Churchill Ave.) and at Rinconada Park on Embarca-dero Road at Newell Road. Both are lit at night. There are many courts on the Stanford campus, but you are expected to have a university affiliation.

The Palo Alto area prides itself on accommodating and encouraging bike riding, and riders of all levels take ad-vantage of nearby rural areas and hills. The most popu-lar rides use Arastradero, Alpine, Portola and Sand Hill roads to create loops of different lengths. Skilled rid-ers wanting to devote several hours or all day ride up to Skyline Boulevard and down to the coast and back. Mountain View’s Shoreline Lake, located in the bay-lands just south of Palo Alto (and interconnected with the Palo Alto Baylands via trails), offers sail, paddle and

Both Palo Alto and Menlo Park offer lap-swimming through their municipal pools — Rinconada Pool (777 Embarcadero Road, Palo Alto; 650-463-4914; www.cit-yofpaloalto.org) and Burgess Memorial Pool (501 Lau-rel St., Menlo Park; 650-328-7946; www.menloswim.com). But if you’re up for sun paddling, windsurfing or renting pedalboats, rowboats, canoes or kayaks, the Shoreline Aquatic Center (Shoreline Lake, 3160 N. Shoreline Blvd., Mtn.

While Palo Alto is located between the Bay and foot-hills, the Pacific Ocean and the beach are only a 45-minute drive. The coast is often foggy and cold, how-ever, especially in the summer, so your escape from the summer heat in Palo Alto may be more refreshing than you planned. If you want to mix some shopping, eating and beach walking, your best bet is to head for Half Moon Bay.

Welcome to Mountain View

g e t t i n g a r o u n dPalo Alto and Stanford are served by a transportation network that includes the regional Caltrain (800-660-4287; for hearing impaired TDD 650-508-6448. www.caltrain.com) system, which operates frequent trains up and down the Peninsula between San Francisco and San Jose, the free Stanford Marguerite shuttle

bus (650-723-9362. transportation.stanford.edu) ser-vice, local taxis (Yellow Checker Cab Company, 408-777-7777) and an extensive network of pedestrian and bike paths.

While most visitors arrive by car, it is feasible to land at either San Francisco or San Jose airports, connect to nearby Caltrain stations in Millbrae and Santa Clara (via BART at SFO and shuttle bus at San Jose) and arrive at the downtown Palo Alto train station. From there, the Marguerite Shuttle provides service to various lo-cations on the Stanford campus and to selected stops in Palo Alto. The Sheraton and Westin hotels are both located next to the train station. Airport van shuttle services regularly operate from both airports to Palo Alto and Stanford.

Parking in Palo AltoParking in most downtown Palo Alto lots is free for two hours (and parking garages for three hours) dur-ing weekdays and Saturdays, after which a car is not allowed to re-park in the same “color zone” the rest of the day. It can be difficult to find parking in the eve-ning, especially on Friday and Saturday nights. A num-ber of the restaurants offer valet parking.

safety & emergenciesPalo Alto is an extremely safe community and other than obvious precautions when out late at night, visi-tors should feel comfortable freely exploring the city without concern for their safety. Use common sense and extra care when using the pedestrian tunnels at the train stations, and avoid walking alone at night. Downtown Palo Alto is a vibrant night spot that at-tracts many out-of-towners and a generally harmless homeless population, so some additional care is war-ranted late at night.

Urgent medical care is accessible from either the Urgent Care department at the Palo Alto Medical Foundation (located at 795 El Camino, between Town & Country Village and the Westin Hotel — adults, 650-321-4121; pediatric 650-853-6558) or the emergency room at Stanford University Hospital, (900 Quarry Road Extension — located at the; 650-723-5111.) Fol-low “Emergency” signs posted on streets in the area.

If you have a non-life-threatening medical problem go to Palo Alto Medical Foundation Urgent Care. You’ll get quicker attention and excellent care. No appoint-ments are available except for pediatric urgent care, where they are strongly advised. Hours are 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. every day of the year. The Stanford Hospital emer-gency room (open 24 hours) functions as a regional trauma center, so there can be long delays for patients with non-emergency conditions. The closest Kaiser

Permanente Medical Center is located at 1150 Veter-ans Blvd., Redwood City (650-299-2000).

Dialing 911 for a medical emergency in Palo Alto or at Stanford will result in a response from Palo Alto Fire Department paramedics, who will transport patients to the Stanford emergency room.

For after-hours prescriptions, Walgreens at 121 El Camino Real, Mountain View, (650-961-7555) is open 24 hours.

Pet emergenciesPet emergencies can be dealt with at the South Penin-sula Veterinary Emergency Clinic, 3045 Middlefield Road, Palo Alto (650-494-1461) or Adobe Animal Hos-pital, 4470 El Camino Real, Los Altos (650-948-9661).

A paramedic from Santa Clara County brings a stretcher back to

the ambulance after dropping off a patient at Stanford Hospital.
