On a planet-wide scale, San Francisco is in the top 25. This is evidenced by a survey of tourists who have been here. Every year the city is visited by about 15-20 million guests.

Prices for vacations in San Francisco are so diverse that a weekend here can be spent for 100 USD. Although, according to municipal statistics, one tourist on vacation in San Francisco spends an average of 150-200 USD per day.

This amount is enough for breakfast-lunch-dinner at a medium-sized restaurant, getting around the city using the bargain deals of the public transportation system, access to some sightseeing, staying in a hotel no higher than three stars, souvenir shopping.
