5 reasons to visit San Francisco

Today we are transported to a city where there are 43 hills and a population entirely of cranks and geniuses, inventors and people with oddities, this city is drowning in fog, this is San Francisco.

Many famous films were shot here, for example, “Escape from Alcatraz” and “Rock”. One visit and you will recall the famous lines: "I left my heart in San Francisco." The main feature of the city is the frightening and charming at the same time the steepness of the streets.

In San Francisco, there are a fairly large number of various attractions, and many of them are of global importance. But we were still able to select for you the TOP-5 things that you definitely need to do (although you can just walk endlessly in the city). Everyone who plans to visit the city is advised to keep the post - useful. Go:

  1. Spend half a day at Pier 39. Here you can watch seals, dine at the BubbaGump restaurant, which was created based on the movie "Forrest Gump" and just breathe in the fresh sea air.
  2. Visit Alcatraz. Probably not worth telling what this place is) But buy tickets very much in advance! I only managed to go there for the 3rd visit to the SF, tickets are being bought up 2-3 weeks in advance.
  3. Pass on the most famous Golden Gate bridge in the world. You can walk the bridge or ride the bike (but skating or skateboarding is not allowed, keep in mind). It is also worth noting that the parking at the bridge is very small, it is better to come by bus.
  4. Spend a day in the park. Near the Pacific coast, take a walk through one of the largest city parks in the world, GoldenGatePark, on a thousand acres of which 7,000 species of plants coexist, several very cool museums and dozens of hippies.
  5. Take the famous CableCar tram. The tram in San Francisco is moved using an underground cable, which is pulled by powerful engines, there are three routes in total. A tram ticket costs $ 7.
