Favorite Thing:
I started our roundtrip through the western part of the USA in San Francisco I stayed here for a couple of days before we went on. I am not a real city person but San Francisco has stolen my heart!
I picked a hotel near Fisherman's Wharf. This turned out to be a very handy starting point. The cable car stopped just 1 block from our hotel. This is a very easy and fun way of traveling around in the city. It's mainly for tourists, but local people use it too. There is a time schedule, but the cable cars don't stick to it very well. But there are a lot of them around and we never needed to wait for a long time.
There is a lot to see in this city and this is what I did :
China Town is amazing. Don't forget to go to eat in a chinese restaurant. Good food and good prices. But look out for one that the local people go to.
Alcatraz An absolute must! You can't visit San Francisco without going to Alcatraz!
The Golden Gate Bridge is so famous, you don't want to miss it.
Pier39 : I loved it! All those sea lions making all that noise in the middle of a big city... amazing!
Fisherman's Wharf This a real tourist attraction. It is not my cup of tea, to touristy. All kinds of tourist shops and attractions packed together.
And there is so much more to see and do in this city. Just look at all the great buildings and fantastic Victorian houses. Just go there and take a look for yourself!

San Francisco is one of my favorite US cities. Oh, and Fishermans Wharf is by no means a trap. You can dine on the best crab legs here at reasonable prices. | Nemorino Fri Nov 25, 2005 17:17 UTC
Brings back memories. I used to live just across the bay in Berkeley, where I worked for a radio station. We often did live broadcasts from Alcatraz Island while the Native American protesters were there. | BeatChick Mon Jul 4, 2005 16:48 UTC
Sim, I really enjoyed reading some of your Cali pages! I was born in Oakland & it was fun reading about places familiar to me thru your eyes. BTW, my great-aunt was one of the Native Americans at Alcatraz in the '60s; I'm part Oglala Sioux. :) | matcrazy1 Fri Mar 11, 2005 14:28 UTC
Great overview and beautiful shots on matcrazy0's top US city (matcrazy1 loved Seattle, too :-). |
