San Francisco Things to Do

Golden Gate Bridge: The Golden Gate Bridge
  • Tip Rating:
  • This is for sure the main symbol of the city...
    The picture has been taken from the Sausalito side of the bridge, the usual viewpoint was closed but if you take the small road on the right, you will arrive to a small place without any tourist, only a couple of fishmen...

    Nob Hill: Grace Cathedral
  • Tip Rating:
  • This is trully amazing this cathedral has been built in the 20th century. Based on ND de Paris, this one is indeed made of concrete. However once you enter, you really have the feeling to be in one of these old multy-centenary european cathedrals.

    Coit Tower: Coit Tower
  • Tip Rating:
  • If, as I did, you are wondering where this name comes from, this is simply the name of the person who provided the money to build it…
    You can get to the top of the tower thanks to a lift. You would have a nice view from the city but unfortunately you would have to take your pictures through a glass.

    CHINATOWN: Chinatown
  • Tip Rating:
  • If you don’t stay in Grant Avenue but indeed take the Alleys between Grant Avenue, Stockton street and Washington street, you would get a more authentic view from Chinatown.

    Bay Bridge: Bay bridge
  • Tip Rating:
  • This is the other bridge from the city. Much less known, it is indeed longer. The first part of the bridge joins SF to Treasure Island. From this island, you can have a wonderful view of the Financial district once the night has fallen…

    MISSION District: Mission Dolores - The Basilica
  • Tip Rating:
  • Pay attention, if you are too fast, you could think you are taking a picture of the Mission ;-) You are not!!
    This is indeed the "new" basilica built in 1918 after the old one had been destroyed by the 1906 earthquake

    MISSION District: Mission Dolores - The cemetery
  • Tip Rating:
  • You'll find the grave of many San Francisco pioneers in this charming old cemetery: lots of Irish, one french, some native people,...
    This is definitely worth spending a couple of minutes in this quiet place...

     It looks like you made the most of your time in San Francisco. Nice pages.
    Jeannette1 Tue Mar 29, 2005 04:57 UTC
     Superb page on San Francisco. You really saw a lot of what the city has to offer. I agree with you on Pier 39 but I like the Fountain Vaillancourt and I love the MOMA building. Jeannette
