Mountain View is located in the heart of Silicon Valley, 10 miles north of San Jose and 34 miles south of San Francisco. The city is bordered by Palo Alto, Los Altos, and Sunnyvale. The central location provides easy access to the entire San Francisco Bay Area and northern California cities.

There really is no excuse for sitting at home bored in Mountain View; there's always something to do. From the Mountain View Chamber's very own Art & Wine festival spotlighting today's arts and music to historical buildings showcasing the rich and varied history, Mountain View possesses a wealth of cultural offerings. If it's live music you love, you'll be impressed to know that Mountain View has one of the world's largest Amphitheatre with state-of-the-art sound and video systems for the ultimate outdoor concert experience. If performing arts are more of your liking, the Center for the Performing Arts is the place to visit and see some of the Silicon Valley's best performances.
