San Francisco!!

San Francisco is a lot like in the movies... a great city, beautiful, but big and with lots of things to do.
I´ve stayed 5 days there, but one day I did a wine tour, and other day I went to the Six Flags park. But that´s another chapter.. in fact 2 chapters.. :)


The Golden Gate Bridge!!! is an Icon of the city, bult in 1933-1937, by Joseph Strauss a german engenier.

Pier 39 - Fisherman´s Warft

Fisherman´s Warft is an area of the Pier 39 (http://www.pier39.com/index.cfm), where you will find lot´s os Californian Sea Lions. They moved there many years ago, and the city tried to send them away, they even did many rock concerts, to scare the animals out, but nothing worked. so the area is no longer a pier in an economic matter, but is a great touristic place. Great restaurants, shops and an amazing aquarium!! (http://www.aquariumofthebay.org/)

Still in the Pier 39 you can get the cable car. there are 2 different lines.

The oldest cable line

The touristic cable car - it cost 5usd each ride.

Along the city you will see a lot of hills street. there are some that will have a end. look at this pic:

Street next to China Town

Lombard Street - that´s the famous street, where the cars have to go around.. to go down the street.

Civic Center

I´ve stayed at a Holiday Inn (http://www.holidayinn.com/hotels/us/en/san-francisco/sfocc/hoteldetail) close to the Civic Center. It was expensive, but everything there was that. To park your car at the hotel costs 40 usd a night. So, we used it till we need it then we return it before the set date. and we visit the city by bus, cable car, taxi....

MOMA SF - Museum of Modern Art

One of the most important cultural organizations in the world, the MOMA museum offers different exhibitions and great art work.


There´s still so many things to write about. I´ll complete this post little by little.
There´s China Town, Little Italy, Union Square, and other places!

GREAT VIEW!!!
