A brief introduction to San Francisco

Boasting picturesque landmarks, eclectic architecture, and a thriving culinary scene, San Francisco is truly a city that delights all the senses.

Start your trip by enjoying a scenic ride on the city’s iconic cable cars. During your ride, you will see renowned architecture (including the famous ‘Painted Ladies’), the quaint and hippie-inspired neighbourhood of Haight-Ashbury, and the lush, meandering roads of Lombard Street.

We also recommend indulging in San Francisco’s diverse culinary options. Be sure to visit Pier 39 at Fisherman’s Wharf for a truly memorable meal as you can wine and dine with a scenic view of the shore and sea lions soaking in the sun. While there, you’ll be able to see historic Alcatraz Island, which was home to a prison considered to be impossible to escape due to the bay’s strong currents.

From the pier, venture on a light hike or a relaxing bike ride on the Coastal Trail. From here, you will be able to reach the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, where you will have access to a splendid view of the world famous Golden Gate Bridge.
