San Jose Quick Guide

San Jose is perhaps best known for the late 60s Grammy-award winning song by Dionne Warwick that asks, "Do you know the way to San Jose?" It's actually easy to get there; map it here on YELLOWPAGES.COM.

And did you know that this popular northern California city also has a rich Native American and Early Spanish heritage, and has the distinction of being the oldest civil settlement in the Golden State? San Jose was also the site of California's first state capital.

San Jose is also known for its amenable climate, which features nearly 300 days of sunshine year-round and mild temperatures that contribute to its popularity as a great place to visit, or - even better - a great place to call home.

The city's economy is driven by distribution, food processing, high technology, medical treatment and research, retail, tourism and transportation.

The City of San Jose maintains a Customer Service Call Center at (408) 535-3500; the TTY telephone for the hearing impaired is (408) 294-9337. One call helps San Jose residents navigate the many departments and services available.

Where to Go in San Jose

The Silicon Valley is the birthplace of a number of high tech giants that include Apple, eBay and Hewlett-Packard, and as one might expect, the area has not one but two museums featuring exhibits and related collections that pay homage to the technological developments that have changed virtually every facet of how we live and interact with computers and other technology.

The Tech Museum of Innovation and the complementary Computer History Museum in nearby Mountain View - home to Internet search giant Google - feature exhibits and artifacts that give a historical look at the development and effect of technology.

Things to Do in San Jose

San Jose is more than just a city of mainframes and motherboards. And although it is ensconced in the high-tech sector of Silicon Valley, San Jose boasts cultural attractions that rival larger cities, and that visitors are sure to enjoy.

From ballet to opera, there's a cultural venue or event to satisfy every taste. Take in a play at the San Jose Rep - Repertory Theatre - or enjoy a music-filled evening at a performance of the Symphony Silicon Valley.

Those interested in architectural works of art will want to visit the Cathedral Basilica of Saint Joseph, a national historic landmark, an officially designated minor basilica by the Vatican.
