San Francisco is a cultural, liberal and multicultural marvel. There is so much to see and do that you may have to come back on another trip. For example, San Francisco has some of the best food in the United States. So, head to Fisherman's Wharf and the Ferry Building for exceptional fish dishes. Once you've eaten and strolled around downtown, it wouldn't be unusual to want to pay a visit to Alcatraz: the infamous prison island located two kilometers from the bay and accessible by boat excursions. In addition, near San Francisco you can find many areas of extraordinary natural beauty. Visit Mount Tamalpais and Muir Woods National Monument. Here you will have the opportunity to walk among ancient redwoods. They are a sight to be seen to be believed. Or take a stroll along Ocean Beach and enjoy its tranquil atmosphere. From here you also get some of the best views of the Golden Gate Bridge.
