| Page Views: 454 Last Visit to San Francisco: July, 2006 | San Francisco - a city of great variety. by worldkiwi - last update: May 12, 2007 |
San Francisco was my last stop on a 3 week journey of discovery down the Pacific North-west coast from Vancouver in Canada. It was also the last point of my 6 day road trip from Seattle.
San Francisco is a very picturesque city and a great place to explore on foot, despite all the hills. The city's built environment is fascinating, with art-deco, Edwardian, Victorian and modern architecture all over the city. The other thing that makes this city very interesting is the contrasting neighbourhoods. There's the art-deco, pastel neighbourhood of The Marina, the Hispanic feeling The Mission district, the famous but surprisingly suburban Castro area and the intensely oriental Chinatown. To add to this there's the photogenic views of the famous bridges and the downtown skyline, plus the much photographed Lombard Street. San Francisco has a lot to keep any visitor engaged for at least a week!

Looks like a fantastic start to your page! The photos are brilliantly colourful and sharp, as are your tips! I especially liked your Pohutukawa tree and 'zombies' of Alcatraz thoughts and your restaurant tips made me very hungry! |
