San Francisco, California Tourist Destination (2015)

Tweet

Golden Gate of San Francisco- The Golden Gate Bridge is one of San Francisco’s most famous landmarks as well as a piece of engineering art. You can walk across the bridge if you want, (sadly, I wasn’t able to because we didn’t have enough time), and/or visit the visitor’s center to be briefed on the history of the park. However, since we came over there late, the center was already closed. One can, however, just admire the bridge from every angle and take a lot of pictures, like I did.

Palace of Fine Arts- The Palace of Fine Arts is a Roman-style remnant of the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition. The outdoor rotunda and its lagoon are one of the city’s most photographed sights. Take a leisurely stroll around the lagoon, relax under the rotunda, or enjoy a picnic on the grass.

Ghirardelli Square-Is a landmark public square with shops and restaurants in the Fisherman's Wharf area of San Francisco, California. A portion of the area was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982 as Pioneer Woolen Mills and D. Ghirardelli Company. 

The square once featured over 40 specialty shops and restaurants. Some of the original shops and restaurants still occupy the square. (Source: Wikipedia)

I am a chocolate lover and I consider this place as a haven! lol

Crooked Lombard Street- Lombard Street is an east–west street in San Francisco, California that is famous for a steep, one-block section with eight hairpin turns. The street was named after Lombard Street in Philadelphia by San Francisco surveyor Jasper O'Farrell. (Wikipedia)

This street is the world’s most winding street. It’s thrilling to watch cars and bikers as they navigate the sharp turns of the road while tourists gawk at them. I felt my stomach turn when we passed by this tourist spot. However, I was still able to take a pose and have souvenir shot in this amazing landscape. 

THE 16^th Avenue Tiled Steps The 16th Avenue Tiled Steps project has been a neighborhood effort to create a beautiful mosaic running up the risers of the 163 steps located at 16th and Moraga in San Francisco. The tiles are beautifully arranged to create mosaics.
