Description:
A tour of the most beautiful city in the United States begins with a drive over the bridge over the bay (Bay Bridge), to Treasure Island (Treasure Island), keeping the memory of the grand exhibition of architectural achievements of the countries of the world. It offers breathtaking views of the Trans-American Pyramid. Further, our way lies along Embarcadero embankment to Pier 39 Fisherman Wharf, on which fur seals taunt tourists.
What else will we see? The main street of the Italian district is Columbus Street, where tourists lazily spend leisure in numerous cafes that spread their canvas canopies over street tables. We will see the Telegraph Hill with the Coit Tower. Climb the Russian Hill and repeating the curves of turns down the most crooked street in the world – Lombard Street, and there is already Chinatown – myriad colors, hieroglyphs, roof pagodas, lanterns. Endless shopping rows with trinkets and antiques. Through the financial district of the city and Nob Hill (Nob Hill) get to Union Square (Union Square) – a Mecca for visitors to antique and jewelry stores, art galleries, small boutiques and department stores.

We will drive along Market Street to the Civic Center, where the plan for European development of the city is implemented. Next, the road leads us to Mission Dolores, the oldest surviving building in the city. On Castro Street, climb to the highest point – Twin Peaks. From its 330-meter height, the whole city is perfectly visible: from the skyscrapers of Downtown to the Pacific Ocean, from the Mission of St. John. Francisco to a green in the distance Presidio with a fringe yacht exclusive Marino.
The dizzying interaction of light and shadows on the hillsides blows up the city with dazzling whiteness, then turns pale, corrodes, crumbles and disappears. Drifting fog changes the character and mood of the city. We drive further down the streets of San Francisco, past Victorian houses, the Hippie neighborhood. We are going to Golden Gate Park. It trembles green foliage under an icy cloak of wind, huge, thick and multi-road. We will drive along the park to the beaches of the Pacific Ocean. Next, we are waiting for Geary Blvd in the Russian district of Richmond. Here is the history of the Russian community of the city. After visiting Lincoln Park, stop at the symbol of San Francisco – Golden Gate Bridge. In the Marina area, admire the rotunda with the colonnade of the Palace of Fine Art. From the promenade of the Bay overlooks the island of Alcatraz, where there was a prison for especially dangerous criminals.
