"Just like Sydney in America!" San Francisco by oisha
San Francisco Travel Guide: 9,083 reviews and 19,112 photos
Okay, I admit a day is not long enough to soak up all San Francisco has to offer. But it was enough to realise that a return trip is in order.
My toddler and I had a ball tootling around on cable cars, snapping photos of famous landmarks and sampling food form all corners of the globe. We loved our downtown hotel too, especially it's proximity to a big kiddies' playground & merry-go-round.
The resemblance of the city to Sydney made us feel right at home. The bay setting, the downtown architecture and amenities, even the topography of the suburbs makes it almost a mirror image across the Pacific.

never been on a sub. must be fascinating...
Loadssssss of info! Nice tip...you need to build your pages! Thanks for your comments on mine! Blu
Think you're going to be the resident VT expert on accommodation for young children. Been to S.F. 7 times & every time have thought it's a bit less like Sydney not more. The Bay & our Harbour are very different.
G'day! I also found Sydney and San Francisco very similar! Any more pictures coming??
