Discovering San Francisco

San Francisco is a city with attractions that appeal to travelers of all ages, and maybe one of the best ways to see many of San Francisco’s famous sights is with a guided tour, because tours come in every form in this city: with walking tours, cruises and even kayaking adventures on the Bay. The sights in San Francisco are almost too numerous to count. With places like Chinatown, Fisherman’s Wharf, Union Square, Golden Gate Park, Lombard Street, Haight-Ashbury, beautiful Pacific Heights and more to see, San Francisco is unique.

Even if you are visiting San Francisco for the first time, you have seen some of its most famous landmarks and attractions. Images of it can be seen everywhere such as in movies or on television. The Bay Area is undoubtedly, like no other place on earth, thanks to many things such as its steep rolling hills, its breathtaking mix of Victorian and modern architecture or the famous cable cars. San Francisco is the fourth most populous city in California and one of the truly international cities in the United States.

Some of the places not to be missed, when in San Francisco are: Nob Hill with its elegant hotels and what a city view from them, Telegraph Hill and its Coit Tower, or the highly aristocratic Russian Hill. North Beach is another worthy place to be visited. More specifically, it is the place where the Italian community resides, but also the artistic area of the city. If you want to get relaxed, Golden Gate Park it’s the ideal spot for that. Sausalito and Tiburon, are the perfect locations when you are looking for Mediterranean like resorts with yacht harbors and bistros. Also, an interesting visit would be to Alcatraz, the ex-penitentiary which once housed Al Capone.

This is why I consider San Francisco to be such a unique place, due to its numerous attractions and beautiful places worth not just to be seen but to spend your entire life there. San Francisco homes for sale are gorgeous in neighborhoods like Cole Valley, Sea Cliff or Russian Hill. It is almost a dream to live in these areas.
