Eight Must Visiting Places in San Francisco

Golden Gate Bridge: this is a tourist attraction that links the Marin County and San Francisco, this bridge endures about 100,000 cars every day. The bridge is over a mile long and it was built to withstand blowing winds of more than 100 miles per hour by swinging about 27 feet at its center. To see the bridge, the easiest viewpoint is from the Fisherman's Wharf.
Fisherman's Wharf: Again one of the top tourist destination known for its restaurants, museums and shops. One can spend some time exploring ‘necks of the Woods’. Some museums of interest are Treasure Island Museum, City of San Francisco Museum and ‘Ripley's Believe It or Not’ museum.

With up-turned roofs and dragon lamp posts you can see shops selling everything like kites to utensils. You should check out the Cantonese wood carvings on Kong Chow Temple and the Fortune Cookie Factory.
Alcatraz Island: It was once a maximum security Federal Penitentiary but now a part of Golden Gate National Recreation Area. The ferry can take you to the island, landing at the only pier which serves the steep-sided island.
Lombard Street: It descends form the east side of the Russian Hill and originally too steep for cars to drive on, banked at a natural incline of 27 degrees. During the year of 1920s a section of it was revamped by adding eight curves. Today this is called as ‘The Crookedest Street in the World’! Automobiles can drive downhill at the speed of 8km/h only, while pedestrians can make use of the steps. Beautifully cut hedges with flowers will make it pleasant to walk and the view from the summit is astonishing.
