Welcome to Palo AltoWhether you are visiting for business, for pleasure or to attend a conference or other event at Stanford University, you will quickly discover the unusual blend of intellect, innovation, culture and natural beauty that makes the Palo Alto area so special.

Palo Alto’s neighboring communities are home to Nobel Prize winners, Silicon Valley CEOs, ven-ture capital firms, Hewlett-Packard, Facebook and one of the most renowned universities and medical centers in the world.

While Palo Alto developed as a sleepy college town, the emergence of Stanford University as the leading high technology academic research center in the nation in the 1970s led to hundreds of start-up businesses with connections to Stan-ford professors and their inventions. Thus Palo Alto became known as the birthplace of Silicon Valley and attracted engineers and others from all over the world to pursue their dreams.

The Stanford campus itself is the biggest visitor attraction, and visitors could easily spend a day or longer exploring the beautiful (and large) campus.

But at a minimum any visit should also include a walk or drive through the tree-lined (and among the costliest in the nation) residential neighbor-hoods, a walk in the foothills or baylands and some great shopping and eating in the several business districts.

For our list of 10 sites not to miss while you are visiting, look in the Attractions section. Enjoy!

The Palo Alto Visitors Center is co-located with the Palo Alto Chamber of Commerce at 400 Mitchell Lane in downtown Palo Alto. The Visitors Center is staffed Mon-day through Saturday from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. and may be reached at 650-324-3121. The center has useful brochures and other materials and can assist with answering ques-tions and addressing special or unusual needs of visitors.

Destination Palo Alto (www.destinationpaloalto.com) offers much more information about where to go and what to do while visiting Palo Alto.

The Palo Alto and Stanford area offers things to do for all ages and interests. Our favorite recommenda-tions for out-of-town visitors are listed below. The numbers shown in ( ) are the location markers on the center-fold map.

A trip to the Stanford University campus is the high-light for most visitors, where attractions include Hoover Tower, Memorial Church (see page 16), Can-tor Arts Center, Rodin Sculpture Garden and a central campus bustling with activity.

Hoover Tower (5)Stanford University; 650-723-2053; www.stanford.edu/dept/visitorinfo/plan/guides/hoover.htmlHours: Daily 10 a.m.-4 p.m., closed during finals and academic breaksVisible to all the surrounding areas, Hoover Tower is a landmark to Stanford students, faculty, alumni and the local communities. The 285-foot tower offers spectacu-lar views of Stanford campus, the Foothills and the Bay Area from its observation deck. A student tour guide is available to point out important landmarks and sights. Finished in 1941 to celebrate the university’s 50th anni-versary, the landmark is part of the Hoover Institution on War, Revolution and Peace. The breathtaking views and historical background makes a visit to Hoover Tower a truly one-of-a-kind Palo Alto experience.

Cantor Arts Center (4)328 Lomita Drive (at Museum Way); 650-723-4177; www.museum.stanford.eduThe Stanford family created the museum to display their personal collection of objects of art and cultural interest; now, the museum’s collections are devoted to a wide range of art, from 19th-century American draw-ings to contemporary sculptures. While at the Center, visitors should be sure to visit Stanford’s outdoor sculptures: the Rodin Sculpture Garden, which houses the largest collection of Auguste Rodin sculptures out-side of Paris, the New Guinea Sculpture Garden as well as numerous pieces throughout the campus. Admis-sion to the museum is free, and visitors can take ad-vantage of docent tours, lectures, gallery talks, special events, the bookstore, and the cafe overlooking the sculpture gardens. Open Wednesday through Sunday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Thursday 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.

HP Garage (7)367 Addison Ave., Palo AltoKnown as the Birthplace of Silicon Valley, the HP garage is a symbol of innovation and entrepreneurism. Col-lege friends Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard purchased the garage in 1938 as a workspace to develop their own company, which has become one of the most suc-cessful in the country. The modest building served as a research lab and a development and manufacturing workshop. However, as the company grew, the garage was quickly outgrown and the company moved to a larger headquarters. The property is currently listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Although the garage is not open for public tours, feel free to ob-serve from the street and imagine the pioneers of the electronics revolution chasing their innovative dream.

Computer History Museum (10)1401 N. Shoreline Blvd., Mountain View; 650-810-1010; www.computerhistory.orgDedicated to the preservation and celebration of com-puting history, the Computer History Museum houses one of the largest international collections of comput-ing artifacts in the world, including computer hard-ware, ephemera, photographs, moving images, docu-ments, and software. Through online and physical exhibits, visitors can discover the worldwide impact of the computing revolution on the human experience. While some of the online exhibits complement physi-cal exhibits, most are independent from each other and provide the visitor with unique information on computers. Admission to the museum is $12-$15. Do-cent tours are offered throughout the afternoon. The museum is open Wednesday through Sunday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Sunset Magazine Gardens (3)80 Willow Road, Menlo Park; 650-321-3600; www.sunset.com/gardenIf you are the home-gardening type, you won’t want to miss a visit to the famous Sunset Magazine Garden. Located at Sunset Magazine’s headquarters in near-by Menlo Park, the display garden offers a glimpse of architecture and foliage from the major climate zones of the West. The garden contains a 1.2-acre lawn, four designated areas representing the North-west, Northern California, Central California, and the Southwest Desert and Southern California regions, and a 3,000-square-foot test area. The entire display garden is open for free, self-guided tours, weekdays 9 a.m.-4 p.m.

Gamble Garden (8)1431 Waverley St., Palo Alto; 650-329-1356; www.gamblegarden.orgWilled to the city of Palo Alto by Elizabeth F. Gamble in 1981, the 2.3-acre Gamble Garden Center features a 1902 Colonial/Georgian Revival house and formal, working, and demonstration gardens. The historic property is now a nonprofit community horticultural foundation, and places an emphasis on education as well as aesthetic beauty. The demonstration gardens include an herb garden and cutting beds. The estate also includes a carriage house, teahouse, tool house, greenhouse and a gazebo. Conveniently located and open to the public at no charge during daylight hours, a visit to Gamble Garden Center is always a relaxing experience.

Filoli Estate & Gardens (1)86 Cañada Road, Woodside; 650-364-8300; www.filoli.orgStanding for Fight, Love, Live, Filoli Gardens is one of the most magnificent remaining country estates and gardens of the early 20th century. The 43-room estate, built for Mr. and Mrs. William Bourne in 1917, allows visitors to enjoy a collection of 17th- and 18th-century antiques. The spectacular gardens, made up of terraces, pathways, pools, lawns, foliage, trees and flowerbeds, are perfectly groomed and ever chang-ing based on the time of year. The gardens are most known for their collection of more than 500 varieties of roses, as well as their amazing spring bulbs, includ-

In addition to the world-renowned Stanford Shop-ping Center (hours: Mon.-Fri. 10 a.m.-9 p.m., Sat. 10 a.m.-7 p.m., Sun. 11 a.m.-6 p.m., www.stanfordshop.com), Palo Alto features a vibrant downtown shop-ping district (see parking, page 19), a quieter but pop-ular shopping and restaurant district centered around California Avenue just south of the Stanford campus, and Town & Country Village, a specialty center on El Camino Real across from Stanford Stadium. Visitors will find cafes and a wide variety of restaurants in all four shopping areas, as well as in neighboring down-towns of Menlo Park, Los Altos and Mountain View.

Downtown Palo Alto is very crowded on Friday and Saturday nights, when restaurant reservations are advised and parking can be difficult. Many downtown retailers are open in the evenings to cater to the bar and restaurant crowd. California Avenue features a large number of good restaurants popular with local residents, as does Castro Street in Mountain View.

Major grocery and drug stores are conveniently lo-cated. One of the biggest Safeway stores in the entire chain is located on El Camino Real in Menlo Park, less than a mile from the Palo Alto border. Whole Foods has locations in downtown Palo Alto and just south of Palo Alto in Los Altos, and Mollie Stone’s operates a full-service market & deli on California Avenue.

CVS Pharmacy has locations in Town & Country Village, on University Avenue in downtown Palo Alto, and in the Midtown shopping area on Middlefield Road south of Oregon Expressway. Walgreens has locations on University Avenue, in Midtown, on El Camino in Palo Alto, and in downtown Menlo Park.

Both downtown Palo Alto and the California Avenue business district hold popular Farmers Markets, featuring live music, local produce and artisan foods. Downtown’s market is on Saturday mornings through Dec. 18 from 8 a.m. to noon and is held in the park-ing lot behind the post office at Hamilton Avenue and Gilman Street. The market on California Avenue closes down several blocks and is held on Sunday mornings year-round between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m.

There is a reason you don’t know who we are.

When you flip the switch, plug in an appliance or turn on the TV, you just expect it to work. That is what we want, too. We want your power to be so reliable that you simply take it for granted. So every day we are actively monitoring circuit breakers,

managing voltage levels and balancing load needs, all to prevent outages. And if an outage does occur we quickly respond so your power is back up as soon as

possible. It’s a lot to think about, but we’re happiest when you don’t have to.

The Stanford University campus is one of the larg-est and most beautiful in the country and deserves a visit regardless of the reason for your stay in the Palo Alto area.

Guided one-hour walking tours leave every day at 11 a.m. and 3:15 p.m. from the Stanford Visitor Center, 295 Galvez St. (at Campus Drive); 650-723-2560 — Visitor Information Services; visitorinformation.stanford.edu.

Learn more about Stanford’s history, architecture, landmarks and art by downloading a Podcast Tour at www.stanford.edu/dept/visitorinfo.

If you are short on time, the formal and most dramatic entrance is from Palm Drive, which approaches the Oval, the Main Quadrangle and Memorial Church from the east and downtown Palo Alto. The Quad is the aca-demic center of the university, with various depart-ments having their classrooms and offices throughout the perimeter.

The non-denominational Memorial Church (450 Serra Mall; 650-723-1762; www.stanford.edu/group/religiouslife/memchu.html) is generally open each week day. Visitors may explore the art and architec-ture Monday through Friday, 8 a.m.-5 p.m. and Sunday, 11:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m. Services, events and weddings can make access on weekends difficult, but a weekly ecumenical worship featuring choir and organ music is held each Sunday at 10 a.m. and open to the public.

For a great view of the entire campus and Palo Alto, take the elevator up to the top of 285-foot tall Hoover Tower, the university’s most visible landmark and just a short walk from the Quad. Admission to the tower observa-tion deck (daily 10 a.m.-4 p.m.; closed during academic recess) is $2 for adults, $1 for children and seniors.The Hoover Institution on War, Revolution and Peace (650-723-0603), at the corner of Serra and Galvez streets, offers free exhibits on President Her-bert Hoover and his wife Lou Henry Hoover and rotat-ing exhibits that focus on library and archival holdings in the Herbert Hoover Memorial Exhibit Pavilion, ad-jacent to Hoover Tower (Tuesday-Saturday 11 a.m.-4 p.m.). www.hoover.org

Art and architectureArt lovers will find many great Stanford resources, but be sure and visit the Cantor Arts Center (see page 6) and the adjacent Rodin Sculpture Garden, with the largest collection of Rodin bronzes outside Paris. The Cantor, which offers free admission, is a popular cul-tural resource for the entire region. While on campus, don’t miss the Stanford Papua New Guinea Sculpture Garden (Santa Teresa Street, off Campus Drive West), near Roble Hall, or pick up an Outdoor Art Tour, leaving from the Main Quad, near the top of the Oval.

Architecture fans may try to visit Hanna House, de-signed by Frank Lloyd Wright, based on a hexagonal module. Reservations are required, for those 12 years

and older for tours offered the first and third Sunday, three tours beginning at 11 a.m., and on the second and fourth Saturday, three tours beginning at 11 a.m. Cost is $10 plus $5 parking fee. Call 650-725-8352 or visit hannahousetours.stanford.edu.

SportsStanford’s intercollegiate athletic program is the top-rated in the nation, and visitors can usually choose from among multiple sports events every weekend when school is in session. For up-to-date information see the Stanford Athletics website (www.gostanford.com), call 800-STANFORD (800-782-6367) or visit PA Sports Online (www.PAsportsonline.com).Stanford athletics venues are all located at the eastern side of the campus, a short walk from Town & Country Village at the corner of El Camino Real and Embarca-dero Road.

ParkingPay parking is available daily between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., either in coin-metered spaces ($1.50 per hour) or Pay and Display lots. Machines at lots accept credit cards, cash or coins. Visitor day permits can be pur-chased for $12 at 340 Bonair Siding, Stanford. The two closest lots to 295 Galvez St., a starting point for cam-pus tours, are on the corner of Galvez Street and Nel-son Road, and Galvez Street and Memorial Way. Other lots are scattered around the periphery of campus. Call 650-723-9362.

Discover everything California has to offer in one charming seaside village, just 30 minutes from San Francisco


The Palo Alto area offers recreational opportunities for almost every interest, from the casual walker to those looking for serious hiking, biking, golfing, tennis and other activities.

Immensely popular among locals and visitors, walk-ers and runners, is the Stanford “Dish” loop (see page 8), a paved path winding through the Stanford foothills with tremendous views of the university, Palo Alto and the entire Peninsula. The Baylands Na-ture Preserve (see page 8), located at the end of Em-barcadero Road, offers miles of flat walking trials that allow visitors to explore the area’s extensive wildlife habitat. A staffed visitor’s center has exhibits and a boardwalk extending into the bay and the nearby duck pond is a fun place for younger kids. The Pear-son-Arastradero Preserve, in the foothills beyond Stanford, has a small unstaffed visitor’s center with exhibits and a network of easy trails ideal for one- to two-hour hikes.

Casual walkers with an interest in history and architec-ture will enjoy one of several historical walks around Palo Alto residential neighborhoods that date back to the late 1800s and early 1900s. Historic preservation is a big part of Palo Alto’s culture, and historic home tours take place a number of times each year. Palo Alto Stanford Heritage offers self-guided tours through its website at www.pastheritage.org.

Golfers will find Palo Alto’s popular full-length 18-hole, 6,800-yard Palo Alto Municipal Golf Course (1875 Embarcadero Road, Palo Alto; 650-856-0881; www.paloaltogolfcourse.com), located next to the Baylands at the end of Embarcadero Road, both chal-lenging and affordable. The facility includes a club house, driving range, putting green and practice bunker. Those with a connection to Stanford (alumni or parents) are able to play (with some restrictions and at resort-level green fees) at the Stanford Golf Course (198 Junipero Serra Blvd., Stanford; 650-724-0944 for golf course, 650-498-4461 for driving range; http://stanfordgolfcourse.com), a beautiful and long course that is operated by the university for its fac-ulty and students and the private members who wait years on a waiting list to join. Mountain View’s Shoreline Links (2940 N. Shoreline Blvd., Mountain View; 650-903-4653; www.ci.mtnview.ca.us), also lo-cated in the baylands, is another good option.

Public tennis courts in Palo Alto are generally well maintained and easy to get on. Most convenient to ho-tels are courts at Palo Alto High School (enter from 25 Churchill Ave.) and at Rinconada Park on Embarcadero Road at Newell. Both are lit at night. There are many courts on the Stanford campus, but you risk getting kicked off if you have no university affiliation.

The Palo Alto area prides itself on accommodating and encouraging bike riding, and riders of all levels take ad-vantage of nearby rural areas and hills. The most pop-ular rides use Arastradero, Alpine, Portola and Sand Hill roads to create loops of different lengths. Skilled

riders wanting to devote several hours or all day ride up to Skyline Boulevard and down to the coast and back. Mountain View’s Shoreline Lake, located in the baylands just south of Palo Alto (and interconnected with the Palo Alto Baylands via trails), offers sail, pad-dle and rowboat rentals, as well as a cafe, picnicking and walking trails.

Both Palo Alto and Menlo Park offer lap swimming through their municipal pools — Rinconada Pool (777 Embarcadero Road, Palo Alto; 650-463-4914; www.cit-yofpaloalto.org) and Burgess Memorial Pool (501 Lau-rel St., Menlo Park; 650-328-7946; www.menloswim.com). But if you’re up for sun paddling, windsurfing or renting pedalboats, rowboats, canoes or kayaks, the Shoreline Aquatic Center (Shoreline Lake, 3160 N. Shoreline Blvd., Mtn. View; 650-965-7474; www.shore-linelake.com) is the destination.

While Palo Alto is located between the Bay and foot-hills, the Pacific Ocean and the beach are only a 45-minute drive. The coast is often foggy and cold, how-ever, especially in the summer, so your escape from the summer heat in Palo Alto may be more refreshing than you planned. If you want to mix some shopping, eating and beach walking, your best bet is to head for Half Moon Bay.

Walkers often take to the loop trail behind Stanford, called ‘The Dish.’

Palo Alto and Stanford are served by a transportation network that includes the regional Caltrain (800-660-4287; for hearing impaired TDD 650-508-6448. www.caltrain.com) system, which operates frequent trains up and down the Peninsula between San Fran-cisco and San Jose, the free Stanford Marguerite shuttle bus (650-723-9362. transportation.stanford.edu) service, local taxis (Yellow Cab Company, 408-777-7777) and an extensive network of pedestrian and bike paths.

While most visitors arrive by car, it is feasible to land at either San Francisco or San Jose airports, connect to nearby Caltrain stations in Millbrae and Santa Clara (via BART at SFO and shuttle bus at San Jose) and arrive at the downtown Palo Alto train station. From there, the Marguerite Shuttle provides service to various lo-cations on the Stanford campus and to selected other stops in Palo Alto. The Sheraton and Westin hotels are both located next to the train station. Airport van shuttle services regularly operate from both airports to Palo Alto and Stanford.

Parking in Palo AltoParking in most downtown Palo Alto lots is free for two hours (and parking garages for three hours) dur-ing weekdays and Saturdays, after which a car is not allowed to re-park in the same “color zone” the rest of the day. It can be very difficult to find parking in the evening, especially on Friday and Saturday nights. A number of the better restaurants offer valet parking.

Parking on CampusSee page 16.

Palo Alto is an extremely safe community and other than obvious precautions when out late at night, visi-tors should feel comfortable freely exploring the city without concern for their safety. Use common sense and extra care when using the pedestrian tunnels at the train stations, and avoid walking alone at night. Downtown Palo Alto is a vibrant night spot that at-tracts many out-of-towners and a generally harmless homeless population, so some additional care is war-ranted late at night.

Urgent medical care is accessible from either the Urgent Care department at the Palo Alto Medical Foundation (located at 795 El Camino, between Town & Country Village and the Westin Hotel — adults, 650-321-4121; pediatric 650-853-6558) or the emergency room at Stanford University Hospital, (300 Pasteur Drive — located at the back of the hospital off of Quarry Road; 650-723-5111.) Follow “Emergency” signs posted on streets in the area.

If you have a non-life-threatening medical problem go to Palo Alto Medical Foundation Urgent Care. You’ll

get quicker attention and excellent care. No appoint-ments are available except for pediatric urgent care, where they are strongly advised. Hours are 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. every day of the year. The Stanford Hospital emergency room (open 24 hours) functions as a re-gional trauma center, so there can be long delays for patients with non-emergency conditions. The closest Kaiser Permanente Medical Center is located at 1150 Veterans Blvd., Redwood City (650-299-2000).

Dialing 911 for a medical emergency in Palo Alto or at Stanford will result in a response from Palo Alto Fire Department paramedics, who will transport patients to the Stanford emergency room.

For after-hours prescriptions, Walgreens at 121 El Camino Real, Mountain View, (650-961-7555) is open 24 hours.

Pet emergenciesPet emergencies can be dealt with at the South Penin-sula Veterinary Emergency Clinic, 3045 Middlefield Road, Palo Alto (650-494-1461) or Adobe Animal Hos-pital, 4470 El Camino Real, Los Altos (650-948-9661).

Several parking structures are located just off University Avenue, which makes evening parking in Palo Alto much easier.

The sun is my source of inspiration.

Every time I feel the warmth of the sun on my face I’m reminded what a powerful source of energy it is. As both a Palo Alto resident and

employee at the City of Palo Alto Utilities, I get to share my enthusiasm for solar energy by

taking people through the process, start to finish.

I guess that’s why I’ve become the solar guru.Even for people who can’t get a full solar

electric (PV) or water heating system, I can find energy efficiency solutions. Learn more about our solar programs, incentives and rebates at

CityofPaloAlto.org/PVpartners

p i l o t ’ s w a t c hNo other watch is engineered quite like a Rolex. The GMT-Master, introduced in

1955, was developed in collaboration with Pan Am to meet the needs of their

international pilots. The GMT-Master II has proved to be even more invaluable as

it features a rotatable 24-hour graduated bezel that allows those who travel the

world to read three different time zones. Two simultaneously. The 40 mm GMT-

Master II is fitted with a virtually scratch-resistant black Cerachrom disc and is

presented here in a signature Rolex combination of 904L steel and 18 kt yellow
