San Francisco is one of the largest cities in the US. It´s also one of the most beautiful. Sparkling skyscrapers, diverse cuisine, architectural marvels, and idyllic parks and beaches are sure to enthrall any visitor to the “City by the Bay.”

Wander Fisherman´s Wharf, stop for a sourdough bread bowl of chowder, and take a ferry out to tour the famous former prison at Alcatraz. Rent bikes and ride across the Golden Gate Bridge, head up to Coit Tower for great views, and join the traffic jam inching its way down Lombard Street, the “Crookedest Street” in the world. Sample dim-sum in Chinatown, browse books at landmark City Lights, and get your art fix at SF MOMA.

Explore the citiy´s diverse neighborhoods like Haight-Ashbury, the Castro and the Mission. An extensive network of buses, trolleys, and underground light rail makes it easy to get around. Ferries connect the city to the other side of the bay, along with several bridges for those driving in (though parking is expensive and hard to come by). It´s certainly possible to navigate the city by foot, but with over 50 hills, it may not be the least strenuous way to go.
