Best Things to Do in San Francisco: Area Landmarks and Attractions

Few cities can compete with San Francisco's abundant cultural opportunites, walkable neighbourhoods and all-round scenic inspirations. The Golden Gate Bridge is the most famous bridge in the world and a symbol of San Francisco. The single-suspension span is anchored by twin towers that reach skyward, and was once taller than any other building in San Francisco. Cable Cars have been transporting people around the city since the late 19th century. The cars run on tracks and are moved by an underground cable on three of the original 100 year old routes. Alcatraz is the notorious former high security prison. Take a tour through the intact prison with steel bars, and claustrophobic "dark holes". North Beach is the city's Italian quarter which features romantic European-style sidewalk cafes and shops centered around Washington Square Park. Chinatown is a city in itself. Enter Dragon Gate to explore 24 blocks of hustle and buslte with an abundance of exotic shops, food markets, temples and small musuems.
