The Bay Area spans multiple cities, each offering a very different experience. San Francisco, San Jose, and the surrounding region aren’t organized around a single center, which makes planning where to stay, how to get around, and what to prioritize more important than it might seem at first.
During large events like Super Bowl 60, travel patterns across the Bay Area change significantly. Hotels fill up quickly, prices fluctuate, and transportation between San Francisco, San Jose, and surrounding cities can take longer than usual. This guide is structured to help visitors plan more efficiently during busy travel periods, while still remaining useful well beyond the event itself.
How This Guide Is Structured
Each guide linked above is written with a specific purpose, whether that’s choosing where to stay, understanding transportation options, or narrowing down activities that feel worth the time. Rather than ranking or listing everything available, the focus is on practical planning and firsthand perspective, with updates made as the Bay Area continues to change.
