圣荷西

乘飞机到达 圣荷西’s unmistakable techy-ness starts right off the bat. 在超现代的诺曼Y. Mineta 圣荷西 International Airport, you’ll come face-to-face with 空间的观察者, a 28-foot-high white-and-chrome robot that waves its propeller-tipped wings while its cameras track your movements through the airport mezzanine.

即使你是开车来的, you’ll find myriad ways to experience the rebirth of California’s third-largest city as a cutting-edge urban hub. Downtown is packed with worthwhile stops, like the ultra-hands-on museum 科技互动, where exhibits focus on innovations in computers, robotics, healthcare, and even space exploration. 在光明和通风 圣何塞艺术博物馆, the spotlight is on contemporary and modern art. Architecture and sports fans will appreciate the glassy modern palace of the SAP中心, home to the 圣荷西 Sharks NHL franchise.

Among all the shiny newness, you’ll also find pride in the city’s history. On Saturdays, take a guided tour of 圣荷西’s oldest structure, the 1797 佩拉尔塔Adobe, a relic from California’s 西班牙语 and Mexican periods. Learn about 圣荷西’s life before silicon chips at the expansive campus of 圣何塞历史公园, an extraordinary indoor/outdoor museum at Kelley Park. Nearly three dozen preserved or reconstructed buildings—including a 中国人 temple, a trolley restoration barn, an 1881 electric light tower, 和 太平洋酒店 with its famed ice cream parlor—recreate early life in the Santa Clara Valley.

圣荷西’s vibrant dining scene offers a kaleidoscope of authentic global flavors, including Ethiopian fare at Zeni餐厅, 葡萄牙语 small plates at Petiscos, and Singaporean fare—which draws from the cuisines of Malaysia, Indonesia, 中国, and 印度—at 海峡的餐厅. 圣何塞市中心’s lively, open-late food hall, 圣佩德罗广场市场, is a great place for hanging out or grabbing takeout meals and treats, like a bowl of Nepali steamed dumplings from 城市莫莫 or the sweet and savory crepes from Crepas Fiu Fiu. No sense goes unserved in the public market’s three halls: Keep your nose peeled for the aroma of roasted coffee beans and wood-fired pizza while enjoying live entertainment and local artwork.

Alongside its outstanding eats, 圣荷西’s craft brew scene has made a name for itself. Following the Silicon Valley creed of “iterate, iterate, iterate,” 哈帕酿酒公司 offers a cavernous and family-friendly environment along with its dozen-plus pours, while 斯特莱克酿酒公司 marries a sports-bar feel (pretzels and ping-pong) with upscale Belgian-style beers. 在当地最受欢迎的餐厅 好运气，工匠艾尔斯 & 咖啡馆, you can sip carefully crafted lagers alongside some of the best vegan food in the South Bay.
