The famous attractions in San Francisco.
San Francisco is not just a financial center as well as a tourist attraction. Because of the climate, you can go travelling here in any season. The famous attractions in San Francisco are the Golden Gate Bridge, Fisherman's Wharf, Lombard Street, Treasure Island, Golden Gate Park, Civic Center, San Francisco Palace of Fine Arts, Alamo Square, Twin Peaks, and so many. The best known is the Golden Gate Bridge because it is the landmark of San Francisco. It opened in 1937 and had until 1964 the longest suspension bridge main span in the world, at 4,200 feet. The Golden Gate Bridge is a suspension bridge spanning the Golden Gate, the opening of the San Francisco Bay into the Pacific Ocean. It links the city of San Francisco, on the northern tip of the San Francisco Peninsula to Marin County.The Golden Gate Bridge is international orange because the architect Alvin Morrow think this color coordination both with the surrounding environment, but also make the Golden Gate Bridge in the fog Golden Gate Strait appear to be more common striking.
Fisherman's Wharf roughly encompasses the northern waterfront area of San Francisco from Ghirardelli Square or Van Ness Avenue east to Pier 35 or Kearny Street. Fisherman's Wharf got its name from the city's early days during the Gold Rush when Italian immigrant fishermen settled in the area and fished for the Dungeness crab. Fisherman's Wharf is best known for being the location of Pier 39, and it was famous for the Cannery Shopping, Ghirardelli Square, the Wax Museum, and the Aquarium of the Bay. You can see a lot of sea lions over there. Also, you can see a world-class fireworks display for Fourth of July, and some of the best views of the Fleet Week air shows.
Lombard Street is famous for having a steep, and eight tight hairpin turns. It was a very steep slope of a straight passage, but considering the traffic safety, in 1923 it was changed to the curved sections. Here can also test your driving skills.
