Day 2: San Francisco City Tour

Introduction:

Golden Gate Bridge

The world-famous remarkable Art Deco reddish-orange suspension bridge that crosses the Golden Gate Strait is a symbol of San Francisco and one of the most photographed bridges in the world. The Golden Gate Bridge opened in 1937 after almost four years of construction and its main engineer Joseph Strauss wrote a poem entitled "A Mighty Task is Done" about its completion. The Golden Gate Bridge Pavilion opened in 2012 as an on-site visitor's center for the structure's 75th anniversary and the 8,981-foot bridge attracts approximately 12 million people annually.

Lombard Street

Tourists flock to see vehicles drive on San Francisco's most famous street that has a speed limit of just five miles per hour and eight hairpin turns in a one-block portion. While the steep windy roadway is sometimes called "The Crookedest Street in the World, it's not actually. However, it is a sight to see in the City by the Bay. Homes used in the "Real World: San Francisco" and Alfred Hitchcock's "Vertigo" are located on Lombard Street.

Palace of Fine Arts

Originally built for the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition, the elegant San Francisco structure still stands in its original location though it was rebuilt in 1965 and underwent renovations in 2009. Palace of Fine Arts was designed by Bernard Maybeck and today hosts art exhibitions, musical performances and theatrical events. It is a popular event venue with its beautiful lagoon reflecting the magnificent Beaux-Arts architecture. The grand palace is on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places and a smaller scale replica was constructed in Disney's California Adventure Park in Anaheim.

Fisherman's Wharf

This San Francisco tourist hot spot is the perfect place to watch fisherman working on their boats, dine on fresh local seafood and fish, do some unique shopping and observe playful sea lions on nearby rocks. Located on the city's northern waterfront, Fisherman's Wharf grew rapidly in population during the 1800s thanks to the California Gold Rush and drew many Italian fisherman to its shores. Pier 39, Aquarium of the Bay, Cannery Shopping Center, Ripley's Believe It or Not!, Ghirardelli Square and San Francisco Maritime National Historic Park are just some of the many places to visit here.
