Location is Everything: San Francisco is one of the most scenic cities in the world and yet oneof the most compact, just 7x7 square miles. Only in San Francisco will visitors find: The GoldenGate Bridge, Alcatraz , Coit Tower, Transamerica pyramid and (43) Hills.
Diversity: San Francisco is a collection of neighborhoods, each reflecting the diversity of itspopulation. Visitors flock to North Beach, the Little Italy of the West, and to the largestChinatown outside of Asia. The Mission District with its eclectic nightlife and Latin heritage, andSOMA (South of Market) with its equally lively club scene, are gaining in popularity.
Colorful History: The city was known first by the Spanish name “Yerba Buena” until 1847when it was officially christened San Francisco. After gold was discovered in 1848 nearSacramento, 140 miles east of the city, the population exploded. The frenzied rush for goldfilled the port of San Francisco with people of all nationalities, customs and languages. Thecity's innate cosmopolitanism is evident everywhere and can be seen in its culinary arts,neighborhoods and street names, and cultural ambiance.
Most Walkable City: Whether you’re here for business or pleasure, you will find it easy to getto your destination. An easy stroll can take you through many of San Francisco’s neighborhoodsincluding Chinatown, North Beach, Fillmore Jazz District, Fisherman’s Wharf, and more.
Culinary Excellence: A metropolis in every sense of the word, San Francisco has morerestaurants per capita than any other city in the nation and is repeatedly named one of the bestrestaurant cities in the United States and the world.
Year Round Comfortable Climate: Temperatures rarely rise above 75 or drop below 45degrees Fahrenheit. San Francisco's natural air conditioning -- the morning and evening fog --make the city a welcome respite when much of the rest of the nation is sweltering in summerheat.
State of the Art International Airport: San Francisco International Airport, known as SFO, isextraordinarily modern and convenient. San Francisco International Airport (SFO) offers non-stop links with more than 31 international points on 29 international carriers.
