Things To Do In San Francisco

By Clint Reedy


San Francisco offers a wide variety of attractions for the locals, visitors and tourists. It seems that the possibility of things to do in the city are endless. But in San Francisco, the top things you can do involves visits at the waterfront, around town, and on the city's ocean and bay fronts.

The most photographed sight in the world is the Golden Gate Bridge and it is one spectacular sight at the Waterfront of San Francisco. It has a towering height compared to a 65 story building and stretches 4,200 feet. One of the most enjoyable things you can do is to take a walk at the bridge.

Another popular sight of San Francisco's Waterfront is the Alcatraz, a former prison for the notorious criminals. The self-walking guided tour through the aid of headphones that narrates the whole story of about Alcatraz is the interesting part to do at this place.

Located at half a dozen blocks along the Waterfront are the Fisherman's Wharf, Pier39, and Ghirardelli Square. Your attention will be caught by some entertaining performers as you simply walk along the streets. Also, the street has plenty of tempting souvenir shops and great seafood restaurants.

Around the town of San Francisco is Union Square - the third largest shopping area in the United States. This is a great place to go shopping for clothes, art works, as well as items for your home but make sure that you have enough money because prices are quite expensive.

Lombard Street, also known as the Crookedest Street in the World, is also a must see attraction in San Francisco. Watching the vehicles make their curves as they go down the crooked street is a great a attraction and a marvel to the eye. Some people would say that it is a lot more interesting to experience the crooked section of the street by riding or driving a car.

San Francisco also has many places for antiques that you can visit. The Cliff House where you can find the Camera Obscura that was invented by Leonardo Da Vinci is included here. Not to mention that the Cliff House is also a very nice place for a drink because it offers excellent views of the Pacific Ocean and Seal Rock.

The North Beach is the place in San Francisco where there's always something to do. Though mostly the activities involve eating, North Beach is still full of activities. The area has tons of cafe's, restaurants, delicatessens, and bakeries for you to choose from.

The possibilities here are truly endless since there are other plenty of things that you can do in San Francisco.
