Travel Tips
- Parking hack: Use the Market & San Pedro Garage directly opposite. The first 90 minutes are completely free, with a $10 weekend/night max.
- Event caution: On SAP Center event nights, the opposite garage switches to a flat $10 rate early on, suspending the 90-minute free window.
- The market comprises three indoor halls. Secure an outdoor patio table in the central courtyard before queuing at separate food stalls.

Heads up
- Hard to find seating during peak hours. Parking fees surge when events are held at the nearby SAP Center.
