6 San Francisco top Alcatraz Island: This island prison has a history that s as chilling as a walk through the chow hall or standing in one of the tiny prison cells during your tour. The ride over to Alcatraz Island is also an attraction in itself. Alcatraz cruises leave from Pier 33 on Fisherman s Wharf. San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA): SFMOMA is home to works by Ansel Adams, Frida Kahlo, Andy Warhol, Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Jackson Pollock, Paul Klee, and more. The museum s iconic building was designed by Mario Botta and opened in Third Street, , 3 The Castro Theater: Located at 429 Castro Street, the Castro Theater was built in 1922 with a Spanish Colonial Baroque façade that pays homage in its great arched central window surmounted by a scrolling pediment framing a niche to the recently rebuilt basilica of Mission Dolores nearby. Its designer, Timothy L. Pflueger, also designed Oakland s Paramount Theater. 4 Golden Gate Bridge: More than 10 million people visit the breathtaking Golden Gate Bridge each year. It was the longest suspension bridge span in the world when it was completed in 1937, and has become an internationally recognized symbol of San Francisco and California. Considered one of the world s most beautiful bridges, it is a must on every visitor s list. You can walk across the Golden Gate Bridge, bike, or drive it s up to you. 5 Coit Tower: If you want to get a good workout and enjoy excellent views of San Francisco, then Coit Tower is a must. Walk up Telegraph Hill to Coit Tower, then take the elevator up to the observation deck to enjoy the views. But before you do so, check out the Depression-era murals in the lobby. It s free to explore the lobby and vista points, but it costs $3.75 to ride the elevator up to the observation deck Hours: 10:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m. The Mission District: The nexus of the Latino community and a neighborhood of artists and hipsters, the Mission is home to many colorful Latin American-themed murals and a thriving cultural scene as well as many excellent and reasonably-priced restaurants. In addition, the Mission s geographical location insulates it from the fog and wind making it warmer and sunnier than the rest of the city.

The area is home to excellent restaurants, clubs, and cafes, and well as churches, parks, festivals and many beautiful San Francisco hotels. 8 Golden Gate Park: At 1,013 acres, Golden Gate Park is San Francisco s largest park and bigger than New York s Central Park.

The Strybing Arboretum and Botanical Garden is located here as well as the Conservatory of Flowers and the 9-hole Golden Gate Park Golf Course. 9 Chinatown: Established in the 1850s, San Francisco s Chinatown is one of the largest and most prominent centres of Chinese activity outside of China. Occupying an area roughly 1 mile long by 1.34 miles wide, it is filled with historic sites as well as souvenir shops, herbal medicine shops, and not surprisingly home to some of the City s finest Chinese restaurants. 0 Cable Car Museum: Home to a collection of historic cable cars, mechanical displays, and images dedicated to the preservation of cable car history.
