Hoover Tower is the iconic building of the Hoover Institution. It features an observation deck where visitors can enjoy panoramic views of Stanford University and the entire Palo Alto area.
The Memorial Church
Completed in 1903, Memorial Church is a landmark of Stanford University. Its exterior is Romanesque architecture, and its details are designed in the style of Byzantine art, including murals. The stained glass and four large organs inside the church make it even more magnificent.

It is said that this is the largest Rodin bronze statue garden outside of Paris and it is open to visitors for free all year round. Visitors are attracted by the scenery inside the garden, especially at night when the effect of the lighting is beautiful.

Arizona Cactus Garden
Why not visit the Cactus Garden on campus if you are interested in gardening? It is located between Campus Drive and Arboretum Road.
Stanford Shopping Center
Since we are at Stanford University, I have to mention the nearby Stanford Shopping Center. It is the most beautiful shopping center in the Bay Area, with a well-planned outdoor shopping area and a variety of flowers such as wisteria, cherry blossoms, tulips, morning glory, etc. There are intimate sofa and umbrella areas and charging areas in every corner for guests to rest!
