Northern California may be best known for the idyllic coast line and the engineering marvel of the Golden Gate Bridge. Head to “The City by the Bay” and stroll along the beautiful waterfront or through the street of famous Victorian architecture. Visit the historic Haight-Ashbury neighborhood, experience the largest Chinatown outside of Asia or watch the colony of sea lions at Fisherman's Wharf. San Jose, nicknamed the “Capital of Silicon Valley” is another reason to love Northern California. The sprawling metro area has suburban neighborhoods and large tech campuses. Head outdoors and enjoy the foothills of the Santa Cruz Mountains or stroll the San Jose Flea Market. Slow down and take in the Municipal Rose Garden or explore The Tech Museum of Innovation. Bustling cities and quiet suburban areas make Northern California the perfect place to call home.
