Travel planning tips
- Stanford is easily accessible from two international airports, San Francisco (SFO) and San Jose (SJC).
- From SFO, one can combine a short BART train ride with a somewhat longer Caltrain ride to reach downtown Palo Alto, on the edge of campus. Here's a trip planner.
- From SJC, one can combine a short VTA shuttle bus ride with a somewhat longer Caltrain ride to reach downtown Palo Alto, on the edge of campus. Here's a trip planner.
- SuperShuttle serves both SFO and SJC with shared vans and private cars.
- We recommend avoiding the third Bay Area airport, Oakland (OAK), as ground transportation from there is considerably less convenient.
- For additional information, see Stanford's Maps and Directions site.
