Stanford/Palo Alto Vicinity
- El Camino Real is the main commercial artery of the Bay Area
Peninsula with many shops and restaurants along it. The 3 local city
down down areas of Santa Cruz Avenue (Menlo Park), University Avenue
(Palo Alto) and Castro Street (Mountain View) populated with more
shops and restaurants are marked in blue boxes in the map above. The
red circled areas have clusters of hotels/motels.
- CalTrain is a reasonable means for
traveling to/from San Francisco and SFO airport (need to change to BART at Millbrae for SFO). CalTrain makes 3 stops near

Alto, and California Avenue, with some of the hotels conveniently
located nearby.

shuttle system serving the Stanford campus and nearby areas.
