"I left my heart in San Francisco, High on a hill, it calls to me." sang Tony Bennett in 1962 as an intro to the birth of the "flower power", the Hippies on Haight-Ashbury in 1967, where the focus rather was "sex, drugs and rock n' roll". It's not surprising that it all started in San Francisco, a unique and breathtaking metropolis, easy life, gay and lesbian friendly, clean air, and beautiful parks and sunny beaches.
San Francisco measure only 50 square miles, but justly ranks as one of the greatest cities in the world. Famous for grand-dame Victorians, classic cable cars, dynamic diversity, a beautiful waterfront, a soaring crimson bridge, and unique neighborhoods which are treasures of its own, the “City by the Bay” truly has it all. Trend-defining cuisine ranging from gourmet-starred dining to outrageous food trucks; world-renowned symphony, ballet, theater, and opera; plus almost boundless outdoor adventures, San Francisco justifiably stands out as one of the ultimate must-sees on any traveler’s wish list. Come and discover the variety of sites, shops, and restaurants that reflect the City's great ethnic and cultural diversity.
