Northern California has pretty mild weather year round, so San Francisco is a great summer destination for those who are looking to escape the oppressive heat and humidity of their home regions.

The Golden Gate Bridge, the Painted Ladies, and Alcatraz Prison are all iconic parts of this famous city, and visitors can hop in one of the famed cable cars of San Francisco to start their explorations.

Fisherman’s Wharf, a seaside stretch of shops and restaurants, is a great place to wander, shop, and see the sea lions that bask in the sun on the pier, and along the way, visitors can stop at the nearby Boudin Bakery for some famous San Francisco sourdough.
