A brief introduction to San Francisco

Quintessentially quirky and perfectly picturesque, the coastal Californian city of San Francisco is known for its rolling hills, eclectic architecture, and some of the best restaurants in the United States.

Make a visit to one of the city’s colourful neighbourhoods to feel the unique ‘SF’ energy - specifically The Mission and Haight-Ashbury. These areas boast Victorian architecture, trendy boutique shops, hipster cafes, and classic record stores.

San Francisco is also a paradise for foodies, with the most restaurants and farmers markets per capita in North America. We recommend visiting Pier 39 at Fisherman’s Wharf, where you can eat while overlooking the shore as sea lions lazily soak in the sun. Look out across the bay and you’ll see the notorious island of Alcatraz – a former prison that was considered escape-proof due to the strong water currents of San Francisco Bay.

Be sure to enjoy San Francisco’s natural beauty by taking a light hike on the Coastal Trail in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. Here you can marvel at breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean, and experience one of the best vantage points of the iconic Golden Gate Bridge.
