What is there to see and do in San Francisco?
Known as the City by the Bay, one of San Francisco's best-known attractions is the Golden Gate Bridge, which crosses the Golden Gate strait: built in the 1930s, it has become a symbol of San Francisco. Other popular attractions include Alcatraz Island, Fisherman's Wharf, and Coit Tower – which offers panoramic, 360-degree views over San Francisco. While in the Californian city, be sure to take a trip to San Francisco's Chinatown: known for its size and history (it's the largest and oldest Chinatown in North America), there are plenty of authentic eateries and temples such as the Tien How Temple to visit.
