About San Francisco

Referred to as the 'City by the Bay', San Francisco is known for its world-famous sights, thriving gay scene, cable cars, steep hills, and beautiful views. Dive into the lively cosmopolitan culture with brunch at the weekends, heading to one of the many live concerts, visiting art galleries or indulging in outdoor pursuits in the hills and waters surrounding the city. Visit the different districts of the city including Fisherman's Wharf for shopping, Chinatown, SoMa for culture, or Castro Street for a taste of 'the gay capital of the world'.

San Francisco is built on dozens of hills nestled between the North Pacific and the San Francisco Bay. Climb to the steepest point for beautiful views of the city and the signature Golden Gate Bridge emerging out of the mist and Alcatraz Island in the distance. Visit the steepest street in the world, the one-way section between Hyde Street and Leavenworth. Or head down to Stockton Street, Market Street, O'Farrell Street, Maiden Lane, or Post Street for great shopping! As one of the most beautiful cities in the world you are guaranteed a great city trip, helped by laid-back California style!
