San Francisco

by PetraG - last update: May 13, 2003

Downtown

Downtown
There aren't many, but also some scyscrapers in San Francisco. The most famous is the Transamerica Pyramid. This district isn't only good for architecture freaks, but also for shopping fans. Start at the Union suare and expire all the boutiques, shops and malls around.
Steiner's Painted Ladies

Victorians

In San Francisco you can find so many beautiful Victorian-style buildings. Most of them aren't famous at all...
Just walk through the streets and admire the beauty of this city!
Of course there are also very famous ones like the Steiner Painted Ladies, the Haas-Lilienthal House, ....
I recommend you especially the Ashbury-Height district, if you like colourful, original architecture!

Yosemete National Park

About 2 hours drive from San Francisco you can find breathtaking views and landscapes: in the Yosemete National Parc
