Campus Dr, Stanford

Campus drive, so aptly named, is truly the gateway to Stanford University. Circumnavigating the entire campus, it is a welcome change from Palo Alto's consistent congestion - but be prepared to pay hourly for parking on weekdays. That being said, the road can also be used as a through street to give a driving tour if you don't want to stick around. But where's the fun in that?

Fortunately, Campus Drive is also home to the visitors' center, your ticket to make the most of your trip here. Stanford really is one of the best college campuses to visit - steeped in history, but with a modern feel, it has everything from museums to sculpture gardens to sports fields to unique architecture - all with the Stanford name attached.

True to college campus form, everything to do here is free or cheap. This is a great resource for locals and tourists alike, and Campus Drive will get you here no problem.
