The Golden Gate Bridge is one of San Francisco’s most recognizable landmarks. Built in 1937, it was the longest suspension bridge in the world until 1964.
Alcatraz is another extremely popular places to visit in San Francisco. In fact, it is so popular that tickets will sell out weeks in advance.
The San Francisco Bay is beautiful, with views of the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, and the city skyline.
If you visit Alcatraz or take a bay cruise, you will be here anyway. At Pier 39 there are souvenir shops and restaurants to try.
Until the 1930’s (when the Golden Gate Bridge and the Bay Bridge were constructed), the majority of people arrived in San Francisco by ferry.
Located on the coast in northwestern San Francisco is a web of hiking trails.
