San Francisco
Beautiful, bohemian San Francisco
Beautiful hilly San Francisco is bounded by the shimmering bay to the east and the rolling Pacific to the west.
Famously bohemian and gay-friendly, this is a city where it’s hard to have a bad time. Vertiginous streets are lined with pretty Victorian houses and dotted with elegant restaurants and great clubs.
