Nokia - Silicon Valley is located in the beautiful city of
Sunnyvale, CA. Our office is a two-minute walk from downtown Sunnyvale,
filled with restaurants, bars, and specialty shops. Public
transportation (Caltrain) is also a two-minute walk from our building.
The city is less than an hour from the Pacific Ocean, and close to
California’s famous redwood forests and beautiful Lake Tahoe
in the Sierra Nevada for summer exploring and winter skiing. The
weather is sunny, breezy, and mild year-round.
