 One of the most densely populated cities in the USA; San Francisco has something for all ages. From Golden Gate Bridge, Chinatown to Fishermans Wharf, San Francisco attractions beckon tourists from all over the world. This charismatic city is also known for diverse multi-cultured population, multi-flavoured cuisine, and lifestyles.

Here is the list of some of the major crowd pulling attractions of San Francisco:

Golden Gate Bridge

Millions of people visit this beautiful bridge each year which is the most photographed bridge in the world. Driving on this 746 feet high, 1.7-mile bridge in a classy limo is mind-blowing. Contact a San Francisco limousine providing company for hiring a limo and cross the bridge in style.

Alamo Square

It is one of the most photographed sites as Alamo Square frames the old Victorian styled homes against a backdrop of tall skyscrapers. Some of these Victorian homes have been turned into Bed & Breakfasts while some are open to the public for viewing.

Alcatraz

Once a chilling prison to lock up hard-core criminals, Alcatraz now attracts thousands of visitors. Tour guides here recount history of inmates in languages convenient to the group.

Lombard Street

Known as the “crookedest street in the world,” the brick-lined Lombard Street attracts a large number of visitors each year. It is fun to drive on this one way street with sharp curves and which passes by grand mansions. Drive slowly and take the curves carefully.

Cable Car Rides

When you are in San Francisco, do spare some time to enjoy a ride on a cable car. It is truly fun and your kids would surely love it. Considered as San Franciscos moving historic landmark, it still passes through the 100-year-old routes.

Fishermans Wharf

The one place where you can get scrumptious and fresh sea food, particularly the mouth watering crabs, it has to be Fishermans Wharf. The rich aromas of the Fishermans Wharf attract thousands of visitors and make it the citys one of the most popular tourist destination.

PIER 39

Located just a few blocks away from Fisherman’s Wharf, PIER 39 is a festive marketplace which contains more than 110 stores, several restaurants with lovely views of the bay and mouth watering dishes.

Chinatown

Chinatown is a city within a city. It is home to the largest number of Chinese present outside China. Streets are lined with grocery stores, tea shops, theatres, and restaurants. Dont forget to collect the fascinating souvenirs from exotic shops here.

Mission Dolores

Founded in 1776, Mission Dolores is the oldest standing structure in the fabulous San Francisco. It has survived two major earthquakes and is still relatively intact.

Exploring such a beautiful city with so many attractions is not possible in a public transport which is usually very crowded. To see the sights and to travel around the place, a limo is the best mode of transport any given day. A limo makes journey comfortable and you can enjoy the marvellous things, city has to offer without worrying about the parking or traffic jams.

Five Nifty Traveler Tips You Will Enjoy
By Richard Sootkoos

 I sure do like to travel. In my life plan, the most important elements to my existence are are family, health, happiness and travel. Fortunately for me I have been able to combine all of these elements in one big happy life package.

Here are five humerous but useful travel tips that I picked up over the last 2 decades from traveling around the globe. From the ruins of Machu Picchu to the Bolshoi Ballet in Moscow, as well as 40 of the 50 states, here are just a few of my long list of travel nuggets for local travel in the beautiful united states. I have accumulated these particular ones over the last 5 years, and best of all they don’t cost a dime!

1. The Versatile Hotel Coffee Packets: While traveling in the Midwest, I almost suffocated in my economy rental car that smelled of dog and body odor. Out of desperation, I placed the coffee filter pack from my hotel on the dashboard hoping to act as perfume. To my surprise, not only did the car adopt the cozy aroma of ground coffee, the filter bags actually seemed to absorb the odors in about a day.

2. Getting Full Use of the Campfire: When camping in the Sonoran desert, we build a warm fire when the sun set to keep us warm while we ate our dinner. Remembering a story I read when I was a boy, I placed four medium sized river stones around the fire (not in the fire). When we were ready to go to bed, I wrapped each of the rocks in a bath towel. Please note that they were hot but not sizzling to the touch. To make a long story short, we all slept like warm babies with our little packages in our sleeping bags that night!

3. Customize Your Luggage: When the cheap plastic wheels broke on my suitcase, I decided to replace them with an old pair of Rollerblade wheels. My suitcase lasted another five years and the gliding of the wheels were so much smoother and quieter that I replaced all my other luggage wheels with them.

4. Put Your Library Tax Dollars to Use: I own a timeshare in Hawaii. One day I discovered that as a local property tax payer I qualified for a library card. I don’t know if you have been to a library lately, but now when I am on vacation I can rent CDs and DVDs and best of all its closer than the nearest Blockbuster.

5. Let Technology Be Your Guide: If you want to get more detailed information on a desired destination, consult YouTube and Google. With YouTube you can find lots of people who post videos of their trip. This will give you a good feel for the true lay of the land rather than some post production masterpiece that was paid for by your resort. Use Google satellite to see what the actual terrain looks like and if your short walk to the beach requires crossing a four lane highway.
