FAMOUS SAN FRANCISCO TOURIST ATTRACTIONS

Golden Gate Bridge

Probably the most iconic of San Francisco attractions is the Golden Gate Bridge! Towering 746 feet tall, 220 feet above the water, and spanning 1.7 miles across the Golden Gate Strait, the GGB is San Francisco's most recognizable symbol.

Another favorite symbol of The City is San Francisco's Cable Cars. Riding the Cable Cars is something every visitor to San Francisco wants to do - even if you've done it before, you can't help but want to hop on board just one more nostalgic time!

And, of course, there's Alcatraz Island! We're always fascinated by the Bad Boys aren't we? But there's more to Alcatraz than just the old Federal penitentiary.

You'll find San Francisco's Fisherman's Wharf to be great fun! Lots of lively activity, history, the fishing fleet, shopping, good food, street performers and street vendors... you'll never be bored at Fisherman's Wharf!

Chinatown Market

The dual personality of Chinatown is a fun visit! Experience the
touristy Chinatown that most people know, but don't miss the very real Chinese community that lives, shops, and works in Chinatown.

Commissioned by Lillie Hancock Coit, San Francisco's Coit Tower stands tall and overlooks the Bay.

Take a City Guides tour up to the top (they're free)!

If you're a shopper, I'm sure you've heard of Union Square.

But what about Union Street? It's not as well known as the other, but it's an adorable shopping area in the Cow Hollow section of The City with boutiques, and spas, and eateries!
