Images Of San Francisco

It's seldom you hear a bad word about San Francisco. There's good reason for that. One of America's smaller cities, the list of things to do and see in the 47 square miles it covers is endless. This is the city that has given us cable cars, frighteningly steep hills, the world's most famous prison, one of the most beautiful bridges on the planet, and eclectic and trendy neighbourhoods. After a visit you'll be spreading the good word in no time.

    San Francisco

    A meeting of East and West. Several cliques of artists, designers, software developers, vegans, socialists, hippies, yuppies, crazies and cranks. Yeah some of them can be pretentious. A lot of neighborhoods all within walking or biking distance. Weather can be wet or foggy. Lodging is pricey, and good restaurants can be too, if you don't research them.

    Insider Tip:If you visit the United States, I recommend New York and San Francisco. You can skip everything in between.

    Clubs close around 2 am, which is a bummer, but there's so much to do throughout the day that you'll be tired anyways. It's the most interesting and beautiful city in the United States. Dress warm, the summers in San Francisco feel like winter, but the views are breath-taking and people are so warm that it makes it up for it.

    Insider Tip:Ashburry, Castro, Chinatown...

    LOVE SAN FRANCISCO

    Would definitely come back to this beautiful city. The people are friendly, the sites are picturesque & general costs are cheap compared to other big cities in the USA. We were here for Pride Weekend which made the city shine! We stayed 1 week and had something new to do every day.

    Insider Tip:Be sure to bike ride over the Golden Gate bridge. Book your Alcatraz tour in advance, they ofter sell out weeks in advance. It is windy! Bring some snugly clothes even if you are coming in summer (as we are here in June!) Hire a car and visit Napa... start as early as you can in the morning as most of the wineries close by 5pm. If you have thought of it in advance, book a limo ride so you all can drink your way through!
