This charming city shows an eclectic mixture of modern and Victorian architecture and steep rolling hills with picturesque vistas and chilly summer fog. From majestic, all-encompasing views to environs character, from glimpses of history to top class dining and shopping - San Francisco is home to it all. For tourists who want to bring home a souvenir or two, must try the ever present stores that are scattered around the Fisherman’s Wharf and Union Square. The other fun spots to visit are Market Street, Ferry Building, Union Square, Fisherman’s Wharf, Pier 39, The Presidio and many more. With vineyards below and majestic mountains rising in the distance, see the rolling hills and golden grassed valleys of San Francisco's Wine Country in comfort. More elegant bars can be found in the Marina district, though most bars and clubs exist all over San Francisco and are not necessarily quarantined in the Castro.

For 10 years running, readers of Bon Appétit magazine have named San Francisco their top city for dining out and that should come as no surprise. This city takes in numerous local and international tourists, convention goers and business travelers, and most of them stay in the Union Square area, where there is the greatest concentration of San Francisco hotels.
