Welcome to Palo Alto!
Encompassing an area from the San Francisco Bay west to the Skyline Ridge, Palo Alto is a community with much to offer residents and visitors alike. Nearly one third of Palo Alto's area is open space, creating a comfortable environment in which to enjoy the sights and attractions of this California city. The area is a mix of the old and the new, featuring architecture that highlights the historic side of the city. Decorating some of the city's architecture are several mural paintings by local artist Greg Brown, which are unique in that they are life size and painted with a degree of realism that makes it hard to tell if the subject exists in two or three dimensions. Vistors also enjoy perusing the collections at the Museum of American Heritage, where interactive exhibits showcase American inventions. Outer space enthusiasts appreciate the NASA Ames Research Center, a museum that features exhibits on recent developments in space technology.
