Are you just looking for “places to visit” or would you also like suggestions for the best day-to-day activities to do in San Jose, CA?

activities and places to visit are great.

I’ll do my best!  San Jose is known for a number of things, including the world’s tallest landfill, and hosting the first Lick Observatory (which is open for public viewing).  It’s also known for holding the highest concentration of open source programmers outside of a foreign country.  And San Jose was one of the locations of a big tech company.  What would you like to see in particular, in San Jose?

You made Lick Observatory seem as if it were to observe at a landfill! It's for looking at stars.

Ah, thank you for the correction!

Okay, any other ideas?

San Jose is also known for holding a year-round open-air farmer’s market, for hosting the location of what was once the world’s largest radio telescope, and for being home to Cisco.  You can learn more about these places in a series of books called California, by Edan Hughes.  As for day-to-day activities, I would recommend visiting Yoshi’s San Francisco, which is a store with over 200 different kinds of sushi.  I don’t know if this is true, but apparently it’s been visited by tens of thousands of people per week.  You could also head to one of the many San Jose-based tech companies, such as Google, Apple, Yahoo, or NetApp.  On your way to these places, you’ll probably pass through the “Silicon Valley”, which also has a popular public bus that allows you to hop on and off as you please.

Not all of those headquarters are exactly in San Jose.
