Santana row is basically an upscale shopping center with no local soul. There are a bunch of chain stores that you can shop at anywhere in the country. Very crowded with tourists and traffic down the central street. Park in the structure.

We loved visiting this area! Parking is a little difficult and we ended up finding 2 hour parking on a side road. Awesome shopping location. There ares so many yummy restaurant smells as you walk down the street. Great outdoor seating for lunch! Definitely worth checking out.

While following the navigation directions to the nearby Winchester Mystery House, we passed through Santana Row. We were impressed with the quaint look and feel of the area so we decided to spend a little time walking around. We had trouble finding a parking spot so we opted to park across the main road at the Valley Fair Mall. We... More

This was my favorite part of the trip to San Jose. A quaint area with beautiful areas to sit and relax. Lovely flower arrangements. Nice seating area available to have a coffee either in the sun or under the shade of a tree. Shops are on higher end so if you are bargain hunting this isn't the place to shop.

We couldn't find a parking spot, so had to go valet, which was $7. The Village California Cuisine and Wine Bar was very nice, and had some interesting dishes. I enjoyed my Chicken Thai wrap. The waiter was friendly and efficient. My husband enjoyed his burger. But the whole experience left us feeling "taken." It cost us $40 just for... More

We love going to Santana Row and just browsing. Most of the stores are too high end for our budget, but it's fun to window. There are things to be bought though. Love the whole vibe there. Extra special is the Christmas tree lighting. It's a new holiday tradition for our family.

Take plastic$! This lovely street will grab more than your attention. Lots of nice restaurants and bars, name brand shops including a Tesla Showroom. Yes, you can sit in one! The atmosphere was upscale yet, comfortable. Could easily spend 3 hours browsing and dining. Also movie theatre at end of one street and a large indoor shopping mall at the... More
