Visit San Francisco This Summer

If youre planning for a vacation at San Francisco this summer, then do visit the majestic Japanese Tea gardens to Alcatraz Island where you can enjoy the beautiful sea breeze. If you want a memorable trip here are a few suggestions.

If youre traveling with your friends and family you can enjoy the many seafood restaurants that are lined up in Fishermans wharf. The most popular sea food is Dungeness crab which is staple with street vendors on Taylor and Jefferson streets and is worth every penny. If sea food is not your thing then visit Bouding Bakery on Jefferson Street for soup in their famous sourdough bread bowl. Pier 39 is the most important visiting place in Wharf. Here you can find Underwater World Aquarium, Bubba Gump Shrimp Co., Blue & Gold fleet and many interesting shops. Do take some time and stop by Ghirardelli Square, home of the scrumptious Ghiradelli chocolate.

In Union square you can have a wonderful shopping experience. Union square has San Franciscos theatre district as well as its finest shops and restaurants. Choose one from the various options that are available like Geary, Post, Powell and Stockton streets like Nike town, Neiman-Marcus, Tiffanys, Caf Bastille and much more. Take a cable car ride from Union square for a truly unforgettable experience.

Golden Gate Bridge is one of the most recognizable tourist spots in San Francisco. This bridge can be viewed from a great distance. Opened in 1937, Golden Gate Bridge boasts dimensions of 9,000 feet long, 90 feet wide and 746 in heights and allows motor, bicycle and pedestrian traffic. Alcatraz Island is a San Francisco tourism attraction operated by National Parks service. Alcatraz was once a home to notorious criminals like Al Capone and George Machine Gun Kelly. This place was closed as a prison in 1963 by Attorney General Robert Kennedy because of operational expenses. Coit Tower offers a view from which downtown San Francisco and the bay bridge can be seen from a 210 foot tower.
