The San Francisco Bay Area is known for its progressive, entrepreneurial and diverse population. Many of world’s leading technology companies reside in Silicon Valley in the South Bay Area.

In addition to beautiful weather and opportunities for outdoor adventures, the Bay Area hosts icons like the Golden Gate Bridge, the Orpheum Theater and Alcatraz Island. Take in one of the hundreds of music festivals like Outside Lands in Golden Gate Park, go to AT&T Park for a San Francisco Giants game or visit the SAP Center for a concert or San Jose Sharks game. The Napa Valley vineyards, Yosemite National Park and Santa Cruz beaches are just a stone’s throw away.

Opportunities abound for higher education and learning with some of the world’s best universities, including Stanford University and the University of California, Berkeley. Interested in some fun education at the weekend? Choose from a myriad of museums including the California Academy of Sciences, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and NASA Ames Exploration Center.
