San Francisco

You've just arrived in one of the most beautiful bays in the world: San Francisco. The city of the same name will win you over with its many hills, Victorian houses, and vibrant, diverse crowds. From Chinatown to Fisherman's Wharf, Union Square to the Golden Gate Bridge, the bay to Alcatraz, you won't remain unmoved by this city's charm.

Birthplace of the hippie movement and just a stone's throw from Silicon Valley, San Francisco is, in many ways, America as one dreams it: joyfully rebellious with a touch of Europe. Its relaxed atmosphere, cosmopolitan character, and tourist sites — all walkable — are part of its appeal. It's a city of human scale, where you can go from the Victorian houses of Haight-Ashbury to the pagodas of Chinatown in just a few minutes. San Francisco is a wonderful place to spend time thanks to its superb green spaces, like Golden Gate Park, and its 1950s atmosphere, complete with its famous cable cars and numerous French-style cafés.

San Francisco also surprises with its cultural depth. It's home to numerous museums, as varied as they are prestigious. The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art is a world-renowned institution.

As you can tell, don't miss the Golden Gate Bridge or Chinatown, one of the largest Chinese communities outside Asia, nor a trip to the Berkeley campus, the Castro district, or its famous celebrations. In short, don't miss Frisco!
