If you have moved into your apartment in Mountain View, there may be some excellent places you can check out nearby. Believe it or not, you are right in the middle of the Bay Area, with San Francisco well to the north of you and San Jose much closer to you in the south. This guide will look at some of the six nearby communities you can go to by car or public transport. Let's look now at the following destinations you can visit.
- Palo Alto
One of the first places that will check out is Palo Alto. This is a short drive from many apartments in Mountain View and is home to Stanford University and a downtown area with all kinds of restaurants, shops, and other venues. The Stanford campus is a site to behold, with its Spanish architecture and the many events there. You can also check out the Cantor Arts Center and the Palo Alto Baylands Nature Preserve.
- Sunnyvale
Sunnyvale is just next to Mountain View. You'll get plenty of options when it comes to recreation, shopping, and dining. If you want some fresh produce and local crafts, you do not want to miss out on the Sunnyvale Farmers Market, which goes on every weekend. This can be a really fun place to go, especially when you want to take a look at some Scenic views by way of the Sunnyvale Bay trail.
- Cupertino
This is where one infinite Loop is located. For those who don't know, this is where Apple was incorporated. If you're looking for some outdoor activity, you can also check out the Stevens Creek Trail and the Cupertino Memorial Park. After you've explored the outdoors, look at the Vallco shopping mall, where you can check out the mini stores and many restaurants featuring cuisines from around the world.
- Los Altos
Los Altos has a downtown area that is second to none, especially for those who love a relaxed atmosphere with plenty of options when it comes to parks, cafes, and boutiques. In this town, you have the Redwood Grove Nature Preserve and Shoup Park, which are some of the Bay Area's best-kept secrets, especially for outdoor lovers.
- Santa Clara
If you're looking to catch a San Francisco 49ers game, you can visit Levi's stadium here. If football season is not in full swing, you can still have fun at California's Great America amusement park. There's so much to do here in Santa Clara, and it's hard work to begin. If you love technology, you cannot miss the Intel museum.
- Campbell
Finally, you can check out Campbell. This is home to many 1920s-era mansions that have been perfectly preserved for those who love history. You can also check out the Campbell Farmers Market, which is one of the more highly acclaimed farmers markets in the Bay Area. After you're done exploring the area, you can enjoy a bite to eat at one of the many restaurants and also immerse yourself in the nightlife.
