The map of San Francisco with its sights is as colorful as a map of Paris. Many of the sites on the map can be reached by Cable Car, one of the city’s trademarks.
Its passengers, who love the views, are allowed to take pictures and shoot videos not only from the seats but also from the footrest. The main thing is not to bump heads with the same passengers hanging from the oncoming tram.
A ticket valid for an hour and a half costs 7 USD. For this price, you will have the opportunity to take great photos of many of San Francisco’s sights.
- To explore other interesting places in San Francisco:
- take a ride around the city on a Hop-on, Hop-off double-decker bus. Upon boarding, you’ll receive a map of San Francisco with landmarks and headphones to listen to an audio guide;
- walk around the Bay Area with a map of San Francisco attractions with street names, locations of attractions, hotels, restaurants, and other facilities. You can pick up such a map of San Francisco attractions at tourist kiosks.
What is worth seeing in the capital of Pacific America?
The Golden Gate Bridge. This is one of the most “cinematic” bridges in the world (Godzilla, Superman, etc.). If you want to take good photos, come in the fall when there is less fog in the city. On the opposite side of the bay, you can get great shots overlooking San Francisco.
Twin Peaks (Noe and Eureka Mountains), or rather, the stunning panorama of San Francisco from them. It is worth visiting in the late afternoon, when the lights come on in the Bay City.
Lombard Street. It is believed to be the crookedest street in the world. If you are a driver, test yourself by going down the slope, which has a slope of about 30°.
Satro Heights Park. Here you will find yourself on the edge of the Earth. The westernmost point of the continental surface of the planet is located here.
Silicon Valley. Apple, Facebook, Twitter, etc. are located on this territory. There are areas available for tourists. Google is the most hospitable place to visit. Visit the famous Stanford University, take a picture near the house of Steve Jobs. Maybe you’ll be lucky enough to catch Mark Zuckerberg in his glass office.
Golden Gate Park. Take at least a day to walk around it. There are many interesting objects here: The de Young Museum, the Japanese Tea Garden, and others.
You should also see the Embarcadero, Muir Woods, Sequoia National Park, Napa Valley, and other San Francisco attractions, which you can find in guidebooks.
