America's Most Welcoming City
Known for being laid-back and liberal, San Francisco also stands out for being the most scenic of all major American cities. Located by a bay and with one of the world's best known icons as a backdrop, this cool, welcoming city is the home of counterculture, cable cars, and a cosmopolitan population spread through a number of panoramic hills. Victorian houses, old-money mansions, and a few landmark skyscrapers make up its urban landscape, while great restaurants, an eclectic nightlife, and major cultural attractions are part of everyday life. Join the dot-com yuppies, hippies, gays, and an overall youthful social scene for one of the most carefree and pleasant city experiences in the American continent.
