Visiting Stanford

Airports

Three major airports serve the San Francisco Bay Area, including San Francisco International (SFO) and San Jose Mineta International (SJC)

Stanford University Campus - roughly equal distance from the San Francisco and San Jose airports. Although San Francisco is the largest of the two airports and offers the most airlines and flights, some visitors find that San Jose’s smaller size makes it a somewhat more convenient alternative, especially for domestic flights.

Stanford Redwood City (Cardinal Hall Conference Center) - approximately 15 miles closer to San Francisco International (SFO).
