Los Gatos Getaway

Friday December 5, 2008
Located at the south end of Silicon Valley and at the base of the Santa Cruz Mountains, Los Gatos boasts a charming downtown full of good shops and restaurants. This often-overlooked spot is close to several great wineries and one of the area's most enjoyable walking/biking trails.

There's even more reason to visit Los Gatos around Christmas time, besides the obvious goal of getting the holiday shopping done. You can also take an evening carriage ride through the town's best-decorated Victorian neighborhood and enjoy a night drive through the Fantasy of Lights at Vasona Park.

Whether you choose a weekend getaway or a day trip from a nearby area, our Los Gatos Getaway Planner will help you find the best places to eat, sleep and shop.
