I know it's not cool to comment on your downvoted comment, but... If he's coming all the way from the netherlands and is only in town for a few days, there really isn't that much to see in the valley. He will be in transit most of the time. I really think people suggesting he goes to Silicon Valley proper are doing him a disservice... In contrast, in a few days in SF you can see: lombard street, the golden gate bridge, the mission district, presidio, chrissy field, china beach, chinatown, north beach, coit tower, golden gate park, ocean beach, cablecars, alcatraz, take a ferry in the bay, go to the marin headlands, or muir woods, and so on and so forth. Even Union Square and Fisherman's Wharf are worth visiting once. There are hundreds of cheap good restaurants, donzes of expensive good restaurants, some of the best coffee in the country, sneakerhead shops, skate shops, bike shops, book shops, an Apple store, typical american mall shops, etc. AND there are plenty of startups and co-working spaces and meetups in the city proper. You really get more out of staying close to the city than you would traveling down to where Google and Yahoo are.
