San Francisco
What you need to know before you go
San Francisco is a vibrant cultural city with plenty of excellent things to do. Whether it’s hitting a club in the high-energy Mission District, shopping for vinyl in hippy Haight-Ashbury’s post-Beat wonderland, or just relaxing by the surf at the tranquil Ocean Beach, the Northern Californian city is bound to have something for everyone. After sunset, a mix of classic and modern things to do at night help you see the city in a different perspective.
First-time visitors eager to explore famous landmarks will find plenty to check off their bucket list. After all, San Francisco is a city where it’s possible to jog across the Golden Gate Bridge, take a trolley to Fisherman’s Wharf, tour Al Capone’s cell, and wander colourful alleys in Chinatown, all in one day. Thanks to its evolution from a hippies’ dream destination in ‘70s to the multicultural and LGBT-friendly city it is today, San Francisco will always be an attractive place to spend a holiday.
