Oplev Golden Gate, Fisherman's Wharf, Lombard San Francisco OPLEV GOLDEN GATE, FISHERMAN’S WHARF, LOMBARD STREET, COIT TOWER & PIER 39 Stig Albeck | 5. udgave Velkommen Overblik San Francisco anses for at være en af USA’s mest charmerende og smukkest beliggende storbyer, og når man er der, forstår man også godt hvorfor, og her er mange ting at opleve i både byen og den smukke natur, der omgiver den californiske storby. Der er en del vartegn og berømte steder, man nærmest kender, inden man kommer til San Francisco. De stejle gader, byens sporvogne, fængselsøen Alcatraz og ikke mindst broen Golden Top 10 Gate Bridge er nogle af de steder, som er blevet set i utallige Hollywood-film, og som de fleste har en 6 San Francisco City Hall forestilling om. 14 Grace Cathedral Arkitektur, museer og smuk natur er andre ting, som 15 Cable Car & Barn Museum man kan få ud af en tur hertil. Det hele ligger mellem 16 Chinatown højdedrag, der giver gode udsigtspunkter som 21 Pier 39 spændende afveksling. Financial District og Civic 24 Lombard Street Center er byens absolutte centrum, og tæt herpå er 28 Golden Gate Bridge der oplevelser langs vandet; fx Pier 39 og 29 The Painted Ladies Fisherman’s Wharf. 30 Mission Dolores 34 Golden Gate Park Vil man gerne ud af storbyens kvarterer, så er der ikke langt over fx Golden Gate-broen til naturparker med noget af det vestlige USA's storslåede landskab. Grønne oaser som fx Golden GatePark og Presidio er andre af de mange rekreative områder i og omkring San Francisco. God rejse!
