Another of America’s oldest cities, beautiful San Francisco, California was established way back in 1776 and is named after St. Francis of Assisi. Today the city offers visitors a kaleidoscope of interesting attractions and activities.

A good place to soak up the atmosphere (and get great views of the famous Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, and the city skyline) is Pier 39 at Fisherman’s Wharf – while you are there you can visit the excellent Aquarium of the Bay.

No visit would be complete without walking across the remarkable Golden Gate Bridge and touring the notorious Alcatraz prison. The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art will mesmerize art lovers, and there are many museums and attractions to suit all interests in San Francisco.
