About San Francisco, California


Home to the iconic Golden Gate Bridge and the Fisherman’s Wharf, San Francisco is one of most favorite tourist cities in the whole world. From museums and beaches to parks and entertainment centers, the city has it all.

The Fisherman's Wharf is a fun place for getting the whole picture of the city, including major attractions like the Ghirardelli Square, Madame Tussauds Wax Museum, and Ripley’s Believe it or Not.

Anyone wanting to get a full tour of the city should hop on the historic cable cars - originated in 1873 - that take many scenic routes, including the Powell-Hyde and Powell-Mason.

Besides everything else, San Francisco’s Chinatown is the biggest in North America, making it a must-visit place for tourists in the city, especially during the Chinese New Year.
