Holiday Destination: San Francisco

San Francisco is one of the top tourist destinations in the world, ranking 35th out of the 100 most visited cities worldwide and is renowned for its cool summers, fog, steep rolling hills San Francisco, officially the City and County of San Francisco is the leading financial and cultural center of Northern California and the San Francisco Bay Area, a region of 7.6 million people which includes San Jose and Oakland. The only consolidated city county in California. Let other cities build grand monuments. San Francisco days are better spent sunning by the bay and digesting lavish seafood dinners no matter whether you’re a human or a sea lion that’s bellyflopped on Pier 39. Outlandish behavior comes with the territory here. What with all the earthquakes and eccentrics, this peninsula keeps only a tentative hold on the planet, not to mention the continental US. But as any San Franciscan will tell you, gravity is overrated, anyway. With 43 hills and a population of free thinkers, crafty inventors, and weirdoes passing as normal, this city stubbornly refuses to be brought down to earth. The earliest archaeological evidence of human habitation of the territory of the city of San Francisco.

Tourist Attraction in or Near by San Francisco

Golden Gate Bridge

The Golden Gate Bridge is a suspension bridge spanning the Golden Gate, the opening of the San Francisco Bay into the Pacific Ocean. As part of both U.S. Route 101 and California State Route 1, the structure links the city of San Francisco, on the northern tip of the San Francisco Peninsula, to Marin County. Before the bridge was built, the only practical short route between San Francisco and what is now Marin County was by boat across a section of San Francisco Bay. Ferry service began as early as 1820, with regularly scheduled service beginning in the 1840s for purposes of transporting water to San Francisco.

Alcatraz Island

Alcatraz Island is located in the San Francisco Bay, 1.5 miles offshore from San Francisco, California, United States. Often referred to as "The Rock, the small island was developed with facilities for a lighthouse, a military fortification, a military prison (1868), and a federal prison from 1933 until 1963. The first Spaniard to document the island was Juan Manuel de Ayala in 1775, who charted San Francisco Bay and named the island La Isla de los Alcatraces, The Island of the Pelicans, from the archaic Spanish alcatraz, pelican.

Lombard Street

Lombard Street is an east west street in San Francisco, California. It is famous for having a steep, one block section that consists of eight tight hairpin turns. The street is famous for a small section near the top of Russian Hill, between Hyde and Leavenworth streets. Lombard Street was transformed into a switchback with eight sharp turns. Cars can only drive downhill, east bound towards Leavenworth Street.

China Town

San Francisco's Chinatown was first established in the mid 19th century, attracting immigrants mostly from China's Guangdong Province. A Chinatown is an ethnic enclave of expatriate Chinese people, although it is often generalized to include various Southeast Asian people. Chinatowns exist throughout the world, including Africa, East Asia, Southeast Asia, the Americas, Australasia, and Europe. Binondo's Chinatown located in Manila, Philippines is the oldest Chinatown, established in 1594. Many Chinatowns are considered significant centers of commerce and tourism, citation needed while some also serve, to varying degrees, as centers of multiculturalism.

Alamo Square

Alamo Square is a residential neighborhood and park in San Francisco, California, in the Western Addition, a district of the city's fifth Supervisorial district. Alamo Square Park consists of four city blocks at the top of a hill overlooking much of San Francisco, with a number of large and architecturally distinctive mansions along the perimeter. It is bordered by Hayes Street to the south, Fulton Street to the north, Scott Street to the west, and Steiner Street to the east. In 1856, San Francisco mayor James Van Ness set aside nearly 13 acres atop an area known as Alamo Hill, mandating that it be used as public open space. Because of its location, the park became known as Alamo Square.

Japantown

Japantown is a section located in the Western Addition neighborhood of San Francisco, California, that comprises about six square city blocks. San Francisco's Japantown is the largest and oldest such enclave in the United States. The Japanese have been coming to San Francisco and the surrounding bay area since the 1860s. While they first lived in Chinatown and other areas south of Market Street, the fire caused by the great earthquake of 1906 forced them from those areas and prompted them to find homes in a neighborhood known as the Western Addition, untouched by the fire, located west of Union Square.

Haight Ashbury

Haight Ashbury is a district of San Francisco, California, named for the intersection of Haight and Ashbury streets. It is also called The Haight and The Upper Haight. The Haight cable car line, completed in 1883, connected the west end of Golden Gate Park with the geographically central Market Street line and the rest of downtown San Francisco. Haight Ashbury was full of farms and open space. But when the Haight Street cable car line was built, the neighborhood experienced a boom, eventually becoming a desirable upper middle class neighborhood with many lovely homes. It was also one of the only parts of the city that was spared after the fires that followed the famous 1906 San Francisco Earthquake.
