San Francisco Sights

The most iconic places in the capital of Pacific America.

The San Francisco sightseeing map is as colorful as a map of Paris. The Cable Car, one of the city's trademarks, will take you to many of the sites listed.

Passengers admiring the views are allowed to take photos and videos not only from the seats, but also from the footrest. The main thing is to avoid bumping foreheads with similarly dangling passengers of the streetcar coming towards them.

A fare ticket valid for an hour and a half costs 7 USD. For that price, you get to take great photos of many of San Francisco's landmarks.

To check out the rest of San Francisco's interesting sites:

  • Ride around the city on the Hop-on, Hop-off double-decker bus. Upon boarding, you'll receive a diagram of San Francisco with landmarks and headphones to listen to an audio guide;
  • Walk around Bay City with a San Francisco sightseeing map with street names, monument locations, hotels, restaurants and more. You can take such a scheme of attractions of San Francisco in tourist kiosks.

What is worth seeing in the capital of Pacific America?

The Golden Gate Bridge This is one of the most "cinematic" bridges in the world ("Godzilla", "Superman" and others). If you want to take good photos, come in the fall, when there is less fog in the city. From across the bay, you'll get a wonderful view of San Francisco.

Twin Peaks (the twin mountains of Noe and Eureka), or rather, the stunning panorama of San Francisco from them. It's worth a visit closer to evening, when the Bay City lights come on.

Lombard Street. It's said to be the curviest in the world. If you're a driver, test yourself - drive down the slope, which has an incline of about 30°.

Satro Heights Park. Here you will find yourself at the "end of the Earth." This is the westernmost point of the planet's continental surface.

Silicon Valley. This area is home to Apple, Facebook, Twitter and others. There are areas that are accessible to tourists. Google is the most welcoming to visitors. Visit the famous Stanford University, take a photo at Steve Jobs' house. You may be lucky enough to catch Mark Zuckerberg in his glass office.

Golden Gate Park. Allocate at least a day to walk around it. There are many interesting sites here: the de Young Museum, the Japanese Tea Garden and others.

You should also check out the Embarcadero, Muir Woods, Sequoia National Park, Napa Valley and other San Francisco attractions described in guidebooks.
