Explore San Francisco

With its scenic beauty, cultural diversity, and laid back California vibe, San Francisco, CA, is one of the most visited cities in the world. Nestled between the San Francisco Bay and Pacific Coast, and full of Victorian architecture and hilly terrain that provides breathtaking views of the bay area, San Fran is also one of the most visually appealing cities in the United States. Whether you're looking for fine dining and luxury accommodation in Nob Hill, shopping in Union Square, or an active night scene in the Castro-Noe Valley, San Francisco offers activities for every type of traveler and budget.

San Francisco is comprised of 11 different districts. Western Addition features many of the Victorian homes that San Francisco is famous for, Haight is the quirky and bohemian neighborhood that San Francisco's counter-culture revolution originated in, and Twin Peaks is home to the largest hills in the city.

-Alcatraz: This is the infamous prison that is only accessible by boat.

-Castro Street: This was the center of the gay rights movement in San Francisco.

-Golden Gate Park: This is one of the only places where you can be surrounded by the beach and mountains in the same vicinity.

-Chinatown: San Francisco's Chinatown is the largest in the U.S. and the largest outside of Asia

-Presidio: Presidio is a former military post that is also home to the Palace of Fine Arts.

Fall is an especially nice time to visit though since the rainy winter season will not have started yet, yet the notorious summer wind and fog will have passed.

Although San Fran is a perfect city to visit year-round, most of the biggest festivals take place in the spring, summer, and early fall. Some highlights include the Northern California Cherry Blossom Festival in April, the Haight Ashbury Street Fair in June, and the LovEvolution street parade in October. Whenever you decide to visit, be sure to stay in a San Francisco vacation rental. In addition to a luxurious villa or apartment rental, it's also possible to rent a beach house or cabin along the bay area.
