Travel Tips When Going To San Francisco

By Clint Reedy


A wide variety of attractions for the locals, visitors and tourists is offered in San Francisco. As a matter of fact, things to do in the city seem to be endless. However, the "Top Things to do" in San Francisco involves visits at the waterfront, around town, and on the city's ocean and bay fronts.

One spectacular sight at the Waterfront of San Francisco is the "Golden Gate Bridge" the most photographed sight in the world. Not only does it stretch 4,200 feet, it also has a towering height compared to a 65 story building. Try taking a walk at the bridge as it is one of the most enjoyable things you can do.

The Alcatraz is another popular sight of San Francisco's Waterfront as it is a former prison for the notorious criminals. The interesting part to do at this place is the self-walking guided tour through the aid of headphones that narrates the whole story of about Alcatraz.

Located at half a dozen blocks along the Waterfront are the Fisherman's Wharf, Pier39, and Ghirardelli Square. Your attention will be caught by some entertaining performers as you simply walk along the streets. Also, the street has plenty of tempting souvenir shops and great seafood restaurants.

Union Square is found around the town of San Francisco and it is also the third largest shopping area in the United States. It is a fabulous place to shop for clothes, art works and items for your home - but make sure that you have enough money because prices are quite expensive.

Lombard Street, also known as the Crookedest Street in the World, is also a must see attraction in San Francisco. Watching the vehicles make their curves as they go down the crooked street is a great a attraction and a marvel to the eye. Some people would say that it is a lot more interesting to experience the crooked section of the street by riding or driving a car.

In San Francisco, there are also a lot of places for you to visit. Here, you will be able to find the Cliff House where you can find the Camera Obscura that was invented by Leonardo Da Vinci. The Cliff House is also a very nice place for a drink because it offers excellent views of the Pacific Ocean and Seal Rock.

In San Francisco, the place where there is always something to do is the North Beach. North Beach is full of activities, but most involve eating. In the area, there are tons of cafe's, restaurants, delicatessens, and bakeries for you to choose from.

There are other plenty of things that you can do in San Francisco...the possibilities here are truly endless.
