7 places to visit in San Francisco
No visit to San Francisco is complete without visiting some of the most popular tourist destinations of San Francisco. Here's a sample of seven must-see places, you should see on your next trip
California Palace 1) of the Legion of Honor
Located on 34 Avenue and Clement Street, the California Palace of the Legion of Honor is an art experience not to be missed. First, is the building itself. Built in 1924, the Legion of Honor is a scale replica of three rooms in the Palace of the Legion of Honor Paris, built to honor the 3,600 Californians who lost their lives on the battlefields of France during WW I.
After being seduced by the building you can see the collection of Rodin sculptures and some notable acquisitions, including Claude Monet's "The Grand Canal of Venice", 1908, and El Greco "San Juan Bautista "circa 1600.
2) Alcatraz
Who would have thought a visit to the old prison could become so popular?
Alcatraz is an island a few miles off the coast of San Francisco that had been used as a military prison in 1907, then a federal prison in the 1930 housing the most hardened offenders. Some of his most famous prisoners are: George Kelly, bank robber and kidnapper, also known as "Machine Gun Kelly," Floyd Hamilton, driver of Bonnie and Clyde. "Scarface" and Al Capone, Mafia boss of Chicago, known as
In 1973, Alcatraz was incorporated into the national parks system and became a tourist attraction. Since then, more than 14 million visitors have taken the boat 10 minutes from Pier 41 in San Francisco to see "The Rock". Tickets are usually sold, sometimes weeks in advance.
3) Chinatown
Chinatown is home to the entire population of Asia outside China, and is located in an area near North Beach, more or less forced on Grant Avenue and Bush Street, Broadway and Larkin Street. Here you will find shops and food, Mee Mee Bakery including 1328 Stockton between Broadway and Vallejo. Mee Mee has a reputation being the author of fortune cookie. For seafood, a paris are your best Yuet Lee 1300 Stockton Street, near where North Beach and Chinatown merger.
4) Golden Gate Park
You can spend a day in Golden Gate Park – and you should. It's great to be go and walk, or sit back and enjoy the day. However, if you're in the exploration, it is more than enough for you to discover, such as:
Strybing Arboretum – 70 acres of gardens with trees, paths, flowers and redwood, herbs, flowers and duck ponds.
Stow Lake – where you can rent pedal boats and bicycles.
Spreckels Lake – where you can see the miniature radio-controlled racing.
Bison Paddock – Located along John F. Kennedy, the doctor, the Bison Paddock is a display of San Francisco Zoo, where you can see, what else, the buffalo!
5 Union Square)
Union Square is the place to go for serious shopping. Bound by Stockton, Powell, Post and Geary, many buses in the region and is within walking distance of most hotels used. There is also a departure from Muni and BART (subway) on Market Street.
Or, you can stay at the hotel Grand Hyatt at Union Square and just walk from your room.

6) Haight Ashbury ("The Haight")
Well, not Union Square, but perhaps not what is expected. As Haight Ashbury was the center of "hippie" In the 1960s, the Haight today is home to luxury boutiques, upscale shops vintage-clothing, clubs and cafes. Whatever is inside you'll find something you like in the Haight, in the case of a hemp bracelet, collection cookware, punk shirts, skate gear, dress Ben and Jerry's or a vintage cost over $ 1000.
While you're in the neighborhood where you can walk through the old houses, 1960 musicians, including the home of former Grateful Dead at 710 Ashbury, the former home of Janis Joplin at 112 Lyon, and the former home of Jefferson Airplane 2400 Fulton.
7) District in the Muni Metro and bus lines
Of course, San Francisco is more than popular tourist spots. People live there. Why not go to most tourist areas so as not located along bus lines and subway Muni and check out some neighborhoods really fun and unique, with their own purchases?
The neighborhoods you can visit and experience are: the Castro district that is primarily gay with many luxury shops and entertainment along Castro Street, Noe Valley, a suburb of Victoria, with a large commercial area along 24th Street and the interior Richmond, many considered the "New Chinatown", with a wealth of good Asian restaurants. There is also an old Irish pub in time 3920 Geary Blvd Ireland 32., Where you can enjoy live music every day of the week and live broadcasts of sporting events in Spain.

I love San Francisco. OMG. There are obvious things – Golden Gate, Alcatraz – hanging out in Chinatown. It is an area – I think is like a courthouse or something, but it is a place cool to hang out, because everything is dark and scary, but fear not happening. – Oh, and you must go to the dock, not only the type of robot, but there are tons good food and this museum has old timey. I've only been once, but I left my heart there. VVV Give me your address. I need a place to sleep, I'll come back someday soon! lol
