SAN FRANCISCO
JULES INGALL
For one thing, with all the colour and charisma, it’s not only
a tourist’s dream location, it’s a photographer’s paradise and
being only a short 14 hour direct flight from the east coast of
Australia, it’s even easier than ever to travel.
One of the first things you notice about the city of San Francisco is
the undulating streets. It seems like it was this city that inspired theme
park roller coaster rides with steep dips and rises. A tram ride in San
Francisco is more about the ride than the destination and one of the “must
do” tourist activities.
For accommodation, it’s wise to stay in the city area, either near Union
Square or Fisherman’s Wharf. From these locations, everything is close
and easy and the need for a hire car is questionable, particularly as traffic
and parking are tricky so best to try and avoid. As far as food, there are
so many places to choose from for all budgets so being in these central
locations, gives a lot more choices.
San Francisco (SF) has an abundance of history, interesting architecture
and fascinating streets. It makes for great cafes and restaurants as well
as plenty of places to visit. You feel like a child wandering around
the streets in awe not knowing where to look next, if it’s not the hustle
and bustle of Union Square, it’s the streets, local people or the endless
attractions to visit.
