San Francisco Travel Guide
Find all the top San Francisco attractions in our complete San Francisco travel guide
San Francisco is a city like no other in the USA, immediately recognisable thanks to its iconic buildings and many notable tourist attractions, it is a great destination in its own right, as well as offering visitors the ideal opportunity to explore the beautiful countryside of northern California and the Pacific Coast.
Must-see highlights of any visit to San Francisco include the famous Golden Gate Bridge, the Haight Ashbury district where the progenitors of the 1960s counterculture lived; the disused Alcatraz prison; and the famous Transamerica skyscraper, which thanks to its unique shape is technically the tallest pyramid structure in the whole world.
Inland from San Francisco, you can take a tour of the mane wine making regions of California, while by heading south, it is possible to drive all the way to Los Angeles along the pacific coast and see the changing climate and sights as you do.
San Francisco is known as a particularly liberal and open city where progressive ideas and lifestyles hold sway, and boasts great nightlife for visitors to enjoy as well as excellent shopping both in the fashionable malls and smaller markets around Union Square and Fisherman's Wharf.
