圣马特奥市

With a beautifully preserved 市中心 和 endless ways to get outdoors 和 enjoy The 旧金山半岛’s nearly perfect weather, the city of 圣马特奥市 is an appealing community of just over 100,000 residents with an identity distinct from the Bay Area’s larger cities.

Although its location along Highway 101 和 the Caltrain rail line makes for easy travel into 旧金山 和 圣荷西, spend time here 和 you’ll quickly discover that 圣马特奥市 has much to offer on its own merits.

Your first stop should be the city’s walkable 市中心 和 its collection of historic buildings from the 1920s 和 1930s, with a few structures dating all the way back to the late 1800s. 下载一个 建筑自助游 to help bring 圣马特奥市’s past alive as you shop 和 explore the 市中心 area. Speaking of shopping, the big selection at the 希尔斯代尔购物中心 包括许多流行品牌, including Lululemon 和 Michael Kors, as well as such surprises as the first U.S. showroom for VInFast, a Vietnamese manufacturer of luxury, all-electric vehicles.

A short distance from 市中心 in a tiny, colorful cottage, 所有的香料’s creative, 印度n-influenced modern California cuisine also earned Michelin praise.

The city’s other great gathering place is the 16.3-acre 圣马特奥中央公园, a onetime estate close to 市中心. Don’t miss the koi ponds 和 pagoda at the park’s serene 日本 Garden, which is considered one of the finest in California.
