San Francisco is a great place to be in. This beautiful city in the state of California's Bay Area boasts of natural attractions and a colorful, multicultural population, making it easy for anyone to feel right at home. Most hotels are located in close proximity to the city's most beautiful and famous landmarks, with easy transportation options readily available.
A visit to the iconic Golden Gate Bridge is one of the stops tourists simply must make. This 746 feet high and 90 feet long suspension bridge is hard to miss, with its orange vermillion paint visible from miles away. Why buy postcards when you can make your own? Take a picture at either end, with the bridge as your backdrop; it's a good way of saying you've really been there.
Alcatraz Island, also known as The Rock, Alcatraz used to be a prison that held the country's most notorious criminals until 1963. A lesser-known fact is that in November 1969, Alcatraz was occupied by Californian Native Americans who rose to appeal for employment opportunities in urban zones, which were rather scarce in their settlements. The statements they wrote on the fortress walls can still be seen there.
