AU$103 San Jose accommodation

Once a modest Spanish farming settlement, San Jose, California, is now the state's third most populous city. It's also the capital of Silicon Valley, a hub of innovation that’s home to giants like PayPal and eBay (to name just a few). Its northern neighbour San Francisco may be known for its 1960s counterculture, but holidays in San Jose will put you in the thick of today’s revolution: technological.

Things to Do in San Jose

Once you're settled in at your San Jose accommodation, visit the city’s Museum of Art or channel your inner engineer with the interactive exhibits at the Tech Museum of Innovation. Afterward, "tech" a break from all that learning and thinking and stop at one of the many restaurants in downtown. Next up, work off those burritos with a little shopping or a walk along the Guadalupe River Trail. For added intrigue, head south for a tour of the enigmatic Winchester Mystery House, a 160-room Victorian mansion packed with architectural curiosities such as stairways to nowhere, secret passageways and spying windows.
