A brief introduction to San Francisco

A fascinating and unique blend of old and new awaits visitors in beautiful San Francisco, a city that is renowned for its beautiful rolling hills, exquisite architecture, and vast dining options.

Begin your trip to ‘The Golden City’ with a quintessential San Francisco experience - by viewing the Golden Gate Bridge. Hire a bike or take a light hike along the Coastal Trail to the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, where you can reach the Bridge and ride across to the neighbouring town of Sausalito and Presidio National Park.

San Francisco’s vibrant neighbourhoods are well worth exploring, especially on the city’s iconic cable cars. Be sure to discover the ornate houses of Haight-Ashbury and the twists and turns of Lombard Street.

With the most restaurants and farmers’ markets per capita in North America, San Francisco is a paradise for food lovers. Many of the city’s trendiest eateries promote a ‘locavore’ diet, which uses locally sourced ingredients. We also recommend trying the fresh crab, abalone, and shrimp the city is well-known for.
