    By | January 4, 2008

    There are many things to do in San Francisco. There is the sea front and there are bars, clubs and great restaurants in the city. If you’re in San Francisco there are some places where you must go:

    The Golden Gate Bridge: The Golden Gate Bridge is an engineering marvel and is one of the biggest tourist attractions of San Francisco. It is highly enjoyable and walking on it is something that everyone should experience.

    Alcatraz: The former prison made famous by many Hollywood movies is now a very popular destination for tourists. Also because it is so popular these days tickets get sold out early so it is best to book in advance.

    Fisherman’s Wharf and Ghirardelli Square are one the waterfront and has many restaurants and shops. You could shop for antiquities at any one of the hundreds of shops here and also drop in for a bite and sample the seafood Frisco is famous for. These places are in many senses different from the rest of San Francisco and offers you a different perspective.

    Sausalito: Sausalito is on the other side of the bay of San Francisco Bay and it offers one of the best views of San Francisco. You could take a ferry to the other side. There are also many good art galleries and very nice restaurants to have a meal at.

    Another thing that one must check out when in Frisco is San Francisco’s cable cars which are one of its biggest landmarks. Also a great way to see some parts of the city.

    One of the most favourite tourist areas is China Town. An architect’s impression of China, it is nevertheless quite real and the alleyways and shops are a real treat.

    There are many great places to visit in Frisco and for the next few weeks you shall be enlightened about them.
