San Francisco in pictures

San Francisco is an impressive city. It has almost 1 million inhabitants - so it can be called big - but still, it appears to be very cosy and small at times - similar to Berlin.

San Francisco is situated on hills, that are so steep that sometimes you really wonder how a car should be able to climb them. The local cabs proove: It is possible. The cable cars make it up the hills as well - unfortunately they are mostly overcrowded so that you hardly ever have a chance for a ride.


Then, rather walk or rideyour bike, if you have the muscles for that, because then you discover the city the best.


The first aquaintance you probably will have ist the BART, the Bay Area Rapid Transit, that takes you from the airport to the city centre. Once you arrived in the city centre, you can easily discover San Francisco by foot or bicycle.


One of the city's main attractions are probably the sea lions. It is really cool to watch them lying around, lazy, on the docks and sun bathing!





It is also exquisite to take a walk on this landing stage, that offers a beautiful view on the sea and spoils you with a lot of sun.

Once you have stocked up enough on sea breeze, you can jump right into the city turmoil, where old and new alternate in an interesting way.









This is the entrance to China Town. Subsequently you'll find some impressions from this colorful area of San Francisco.

 

 

The Golden Gate Bridge should not be left out, when visiting San Francisco. It is a nice cycle tour to ride over the bridge and after having crossed it, to ride on to Sausalito.
