See also gardens, tide pools, bay views and bird colonies. When touring the prison, you will learn all about famous prisoners such as Al Capone, George ‘Machine Gun’ Kelley and Robert ‘The Birman’ Stroud. The history and stories from here are fascinating.
Fisherman’s Wharf
3
Take a city tour and visit Fisherman’s Wharf which is a world famous attraction. It is an important centre of San Francisco’s historic fishing industry and launching point for Bay cruises and private charters. There are many places for family entertainment such as Ripley’s Believe It or Not! museum, the Aquarium at PIER 39. The world-class shopping and restaurants all add to the tremendous experience you can have here.
San Francisco Cable Car System
4
It is, of course, possible to ride the cable cars without any guided tours but there are cable cars specifically with guides to point out the interesting places and landmarks. The first cable car started in 1873 after its British designer Andrew Hallidie witnessed a horse-car accident on the steep streets and the idea came to him. These are fantastic ways to get around the hilly streets of this great city.
Japanese Tea Garden
5
Experience the natural beauty, tranquillity and harmony on a sightseeing tour of the oldest Japanese Tea Garden in the United States. See such features as an arched drum bridge, stone lanterns, pagodas, stepping stone paths, serene Koi ponds, Zen garden and native Japanese plants. During March and April, to experience the Cherry Blossom trees in full bloom is beautiful. This is a very enjoyable and relaxing place to see.
Walt Disney Family Museum
6
Take a guided tour of the Walt Disney Family Museum and learn all about the man who changed the entertainment world. Located in scenic Presidio, this museum features interactive, contemporary galleries and exhibits that are narrated with Walt Disney’s voice. See early drawings, films, cartoons and an original model of what was to become Disneyland. This is a great tour to take with all the family.
Union Square
7
You cannot be a tourist in San Francisco and not take a trip to Union Square a landmark park located in the heart of downtown shopping and hotel district. Every fashion label is represented around this square. Union Square is a place for civic celebrations and has a distinctive history. With cable cars and flower stands that brighten up the corners, there are many reasons why you would enjoy a visit to this square.
Chinatown
8
When on a sightseeing tour of San Francisco, you have to spend time in Chinatown. This Chinatown is slightly bigger than the one in New York so is regarded as the largest Chinatown outside of Asia. You will be busy visiting the Golden Gate Fortune Cookie Factory, strolling the alleys full of shops and stalls, museums, churches and the list goes on. It is an enjoyable experience, especially for first-timers!
Lombard Street
9
When you are on a city tour of San Francisco, one of the places you will be brought to is Lombard Street. Why a street you may ask? This one is distinctive and quirky so worth a visit because it is known as the steepest street in the city with eight 40 degrees hairpin turns that are zigzagged down the street. It is an extraordinary sight and it looks like cars are on a rollercoaster as they descend.
Grace Cathedral
10
Take a guided tour of Grace Cathedral when in San Francisco. This Gothic style church has a resemblance to France’s Notre Dame from the front, but the interior is all its own. It is maybe simple in its design but effective with blue lights that are projected from the Stain Glass windows, illuminating the inside. The tall ceilings and pointed arches all add to the charm and character of this religious building.
