Palo Alto, in the heart of Silicon Valley, offers a walkable, tree-lined downtown anchored by Stanford University with cafés, restaurants, museums, parks and easy biking—ideal for travel therapists who want engaging neighborhoods, reliable transit and plenty to explore during multi‑week stays.
Nearby San Jose (~15 miles) and San Francisco (~35 miles) add bigger urban nightlife, major museums, airports and Bay Area beaches for weekend escapes.
