San Francisco is a relatively small city. About 750,000 residents live on a 46.6-square-mi tip of land between San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean. Even though the city is small in comparison to some of the other major cities, the people that live in San Francisco wouldn't have it any other way. They cherish the city's colorful past. Longtime locals welcome visitors and vacationers to enjoy their city all year round.

The San Francisco bay area is always at the top of everyone's list of favorite travel destinations. It also offers a remarkable number of cultural attractions along with world famous landmarks set against a background of extraordinary natural beauty.

First-time as well as repeat visitors won't want to miss Golden Gate Park, the Palace of Fine Arts, the Golden Gate Bridge, or even a cable car ride over Nob Hill. But a walk down the famous Lombard Street, the Filbert Steps or through Macondray Lane, or even a peaceful hour gazing east from Ina Coolbrith Park can be equally breathtaking.

Exploring by car involves navigating a maze of one-way streets and restricted parking zones. San Francisco's famed 40-plus hills can be a problem for drivers who are new to the terrain. But cable cars, buses, and trolleys can take you to or near many attractions.
