Palo Alto lies about 33 km south-east of the airport, in the north of Silicon Valley. The direct route follows US Highway 101 south along the bay through San Mateo, Redwood City and Menlo Park, leaving at University Avenue or Embarcadero Road; Interstate 280 through the foothills is a quieter alternative. Highway 101 on the Peninsula is heavily used by commuters, so morning and evening peaks can double the usual journey of around half an hour.
Downtown Palo Alto is centred on University Avenue, with restaurants, shops and hotels, and the Caltrain station at its western end. Across El Camino Real lies Stanford University, entered along Palm Drive towards the Main Quad and Memorial Church, with the Stanford Shopping Center nearby. Many technology company campuses are spread along the bay side of Highway 101 and in neighbouring Menlo Park and Mountain View, so business addresses are often outside the town centre.
Public transport instead: BART + Caltrain train BART towards Millbrae, then Caltrain towards San Jose from SFO BART station (International Terminal, G Gates side) to Palo Alto Caltrain station (change at Millbrae), Caltrain runs 7 days a week, with less frequent trains at weekends, 1 change. SamTrans bus 397 / ECR Owl (late night) from SFO terminals to Palo Alto, limited late-night service.
