5 of the best geek holidays

Silicon Valley, California, USA

If you’re any sort of computer nerd then Silicon Valley in San Francisco’s Bay Area is your mecca. We don’t have the space to list all the geeky attractions available to you, but highlights might include a trip to the Apple Company Store in Cupertino (the only place where you can buy Apple logo t-shirts, mugs and caps!), the Palo Alto garage where HP was born, the Computer History Museum in Mountain View and San Francisco’s Musée Mécanique, packed full of bizarre – and often creepy – old arcade machines.
