Visit San Francisco, California

Add to My List Check Off

“The City by the Bay”, San Francisco, California has been appreciated by visitors, written about in literature, used as the backdrop for countless films and immortalized in song. The hilly terrain, scenic beauty, Victorian architecture and summer fog combined with the ethnic diversity and cultural activities are just some of the reasons San Francisco is one of the most visited cities in the world. Tourists flock to San Francisco to view (or perhaps walk over) the Golden Gate Bridge, linking the city with Northern California; Visit Alcatraz Island, the former prison from which no inmate ever escaped, now a museum and accessible only by ferry (which allows for a spectacular view of the skyline on the return trip); Ride the famous Cable Cars; Explore Fisherman’s Wharf while picking out a great place to enjoy fresh seafood; Tour the Italian ghetto of North Beach; Hang out at Union Square while listening to local musicians perform or to view an outdoor art display; Walk down (or up, if you dare) the crookedest street in the world, Lombard Street; Shop in Chinatown and then enjoy some fabulous Chinese cuisine; Eat a sundae at the Ghirardelli Chocolate factory; Partake in an Irish Coffee where it was first imagined; Watch a Major League Baseball game when the San Francisco Giants play at A.T.&T. Park or a National Football League game during the fall and winter when the 49ers play. The sights and sounds of San Francisco are packed into a 49 square mile area with easy access utilizing the readily available diversified public transportation system or sometimes best explored on foot. Dreamers that have never been to San Francisco wonder what it would be like and those that have seen the charms of this incredible city dream of the day when they might return.
