San Francisco
Get to Know California’s Vibrant Melting Pot City
Everything You Need to Plan Your San Francisco Adventure
“I left my heart in San Francisco” is a famous song for a reason. The diversity and unique landmarks of this vibrant city make people fall in love with all it has to offer. Technically, the city traces early roots back to approximately 3,000 BC, but the more recent history of the Spanish missions is central to San Francisco’s origins. It’s where we get the famous name Presidio, which is where you’ll find the best parks and views of the Golden Gate Bridge today.
San Francisco grew by leaps and bounds after the discovery of gold in 1848 at nearby Sutter’s Fort, and it hasn’t stopped growing since. With one of the largest natural harbors as its main entrance, this city is also home to the most recognizable bridge in the world: the Golden Gate Bridge. And of course, it stands near to the famous Alcatraz Island where the most notorious criminals served their time.
From the Painted Ladies and Mission District to Fisherman’s Wharf and Lombard Street, the things to see and do in San Francisco could fill your weekend, three times over. So don’t hesitate to jump into our helpful guides about all things San Francisco.
