San Jose California Must Sees

Leave a Comment / Abacos, California, San Jose, USA / By

For years San Jose has played second fiddle to its more celebrated cousin just up the highway, but in truth this city of nearly 1 million people has a lot to offer vacationers. The city has nationally recognized attractions, including art and science museums, and its own ballet and repertory companies. It’s also a city of great diversity, for no ethnic group holds the majority here. Residents speak a total of 46 languages, and alongside machines vending the San Jose Mercury News, you’ll find Nuevo Mundo and the Chinese World Journal. The city is also one of the safest in the country, with the lowest crime rate for any city over 500,000 people.
