A brief introduction to San Francisco

A unique blend of old and new awaits you in beautiful San Francisco, a city that is characterised by its rolling hills, unique architecture, and excellent dining options.

Begin your trip to ‘The Golden City’ with a quintessential San Fran experience - by viewing the Golden Gate Bridge. Hire a bike or take a light hike on the Coastal Trail to the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, where you can reach the Bridge and ride across to the neighbouring town of Sausalito and Presidio National Park.

San Francisco’s vibrant neighbourhoods are well worth exploring, especially on the city’s iconic cable cars. Be sure to discover the ornate houses of Haight-Ashbury and the twisting Lombard Street.

Home to the most restaurants and farmers’ markets per capita in North America, San Francisco is a paradise for foodies. Many of the city’s trendiest restaurants promote a ‘locavore’ diet, which makes use of locally sourced ingredients. The city is also well known for its fresh crab, abalone, and shrimp.
