Discover a city
located in the heart of the Peninsula just 16 miles south of San
Francisco. Strategically located
next to the San Francisco International Airport (SFO), Millbrae
is gently cradled in the sun-warmed hills that separate the
Pacific Ocean from the San Francisco Bay. Major freeways border
both its eastern and western boundaries, making Millbrae easily
accessible from all parts of the Bay Area.
Millbrae
is home to a wide variety of restaurants, shops, hotels and
services. The city is a friendly suburban environment that takes
pride in its small-town atmosphere combined with world-class
dining and lodging. Millbrae has a charming downtown that is
only a short walk from the intermodal transit station where
BART, Caltrain and SamTrans converge to offer public transit
options to the businesses and residents of Millbrae and the
surrounding communities.
