From calm islands and lively entertainment precincts to stunning monuments, there are plenty of places to visit in San Francisco. Visit the Alcrataz Island (a yesteryear prison transformed into a national monument), admire the stunning architecture of City Hall (that has been witness to star wedding ceremonies like that of Marilyn Monroe) or take in the magnificent vistas of the city’s skyline standing at 210 feet tall Coit Tower—there’s never a dull day here. Opt for a morning stroll at the touristy Fisherman’s Wharf and Piers 39, and you must head to the iconic landmark of the city—the Golden Gate Bridge. Enjoy a laidback evening at the Lombard Street (also known as the Crookedest Street) or bask in the lawns of the Palace of Fine Arts, or visit the city’s popular cultural landmarks such as Museum of Modern Art, Asian Art Museum, de Young Museum and Cartoon Art Museum—there’s something here for all kinds of travellers.
