SAN FRANCISCO

San Francisco is not only one of the most beautiful cities in America because of its great location. The proximity to the Pacific and Central Valley makes a big difference, but the sights and atmosphere of the city add at least as much, if not more, to the city’s beauty. San Francisco is not only liberal, cosmopolitan and motley, both historically and culturally, but also a popular travel destination for everyone.

In addition to New York, the fourth largest city in California has a high population density and the origins of the residents of this multicultural metropolis are mainly divided between Latin America, Asia (especially China) but also other countries. In addition, the LGBT community (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) in San Francisco is one of the largest and best known.
The City by the Bay offers a diverse cultural scene, various sights as well as varied possibilities for leisure activities, which of course positively promotes tourism. Over 15 million people from around the world come to San Francisco each year. The majority of the local economy is made up of companies in the financial sector (over 60 banks have their offices here), often small businesses as well, as San Francisco stands for startups and entrepreneurship.

The many facets of San Francisco and its residents are reflected in the individual districts – there is a lot to discover here, from Victorian architecture to green spaces. Some of the most famous trademarks of San Francisco are definitely the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz and the cable cars – three things that should not be missing on a visit.

History: San Francisco was founded in 1776 by Spanish colonists, more precisely by the Spanish mission “San Francisco de Asis”, which was named for St. Francis of Assisi. The California gold rush that began in 1848 resulted in a rapid population increase. In 1906, San Francisco experienced the largest earthquake to date, which, together with a subsequent fire, almost completely destroyed the city. However, the city was quickly rebuilt and steadily developed again into a cultural and industrial center.

Cultural: Of course, in a cosmopolitan city like San Francisco you can also enjoy cultural pleasures such as visits to the theater or museums. Some of the most famous theaters include the New Conservatory Theater Center, the San Francisco Symphony, and the American Conservatory Theater. Art lovers should pay a visit to the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.

Sights: Fisherman’s Wharf, Lombard Street, Oakland Bay Bridge, Chinatown, Treasure Island, Transamerica Pyramid, Ghiradelli Square, Union Square, F Market Line (tram), City Hall, Alcatraz, Golden Gate Bridge, North Beach, Painted Ladies, Haight- Ashbury and much more.
