    One of the longest single-span suspension bridges ever- at 4,200 feet- this landmark opened in 1937 and connects San Francisco to Marin County.
    Vista points and parking area are located at the northeast and southeast ends of the bridge. It costed approx. $ 35 million to build this bridge.

    Chinatown: A city within a city!
  • Tip Rating:
  • China Town

    San Francisco has the largest population of Chinese people outside Asia and new immigrants of the Southeastern Asia area gave it?s new character to this quarter. It is a very crowded part of town, packed with all kinds of import shops. More traditional Chinese shops can be found one block west of Grant to Stockton Ave.

    Fisherman's Wharf: At the San Francisco Bay waterfront!
  • Tip Rating:
  • Fisherman?s Wharf and Pier 39

    In this area you find a lot of shops and restaurants, mainly seafood and several interesting sights like:
    The Wax Museum, Ripley?s Believe It or Not and a variation of maritime shipping museums. Also very interesting is Ghirardelli?s Square ( one a chocolate factory). It has a nice variety of shops.

    Alcatraz: Escape from Alcatraz
  • Tip Rating:
  • Alcatraz prson and Island

    Alcatraz is most known for its heavily guarded prison, where top criminals as: 'Machine Gun? Kelly, Al Capone and Robert ?Birdman? Stroud kept prison from 1934 until 1963.
    You have to make reservations upfront otherwise you will be disappointed, like we were.
    Still I have seen the Island and I think I had to mention on my page just to warn you to make reservations.
