    San Francisco is full of history and there are hundreds of places to see and hundreds of things to do here.

    You could stroll down Fisherman’s Wharf which happens to be one of the liveliest neighborhoods in the city and take a look at the harbor and the fishing boats. This place is full of old and unique museums and you’ll also find some barking sea lions. This place is also home to Pier 39 which has many shops, street performers and also houses the San Francisco Aquarium. 

    Climb to the top of Telegraph hill and take the elevator to the top of Coit Tower. The Coit memorial tower was erected in 1933 and the interior is decorated in Fresco which was authorized as a public works project and undertaken by the city’s architects. It was completed in 1934.

    Then there is Chinatown which is the largest of its kind outside Asia. Since the 1850s this area has been home to Chinese merchants and tourism has been a booming business here ever since.

    There is the Cliff House which is located at Ocean Beach. It is a historical spot and has bee renovated and rebuilt several times. There is a restaurant in the Cliff House and it has beautiful views of the sunset. The gift shop also has a great collection of old San Francisco.

    Fort Point is located at the tip of the San Francisco Presidio and beneath the arc of the Golden Gate Bridge. It is only open from Friday to Sunday because of retrofit construction on the Golden Gate. You get a great view of the underbelly of the bridge from here and if you walk to the very edge you can see the water.

    San Francisco has some beautiful sights and places worth visiting and every week I’ll bring you more such places.
