San Francisco is known to be different from all other US cities for its cultural diversity, unconventionality, tolerance and openess. Beyond the lifestyle, the particularism of San Francisco reflects in its urbanism. A human sized city, it is not crushed by the skyscrapers. The Victorian houses are still standing in many areas on the slopes of the famous hills and along sometimes very steep streets. Town facing the sea, surrounded with water, San Francisco has a special charm which makes it one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Discover the North Beach district, Fisherman's Wharf. You will see the Golden Gate and Alcatraz, you will climb hills, pass from quiet neighborhoods to the moderate excitement of the center of this libertarian, high-tech, multicultural city, with artistic and ecological fiber, all in a delicious sweet way of life.
