San Francisco Map > Interactive San Francisco Maps
San Francisco's tourist attractions include the spectacular Golden Gate Bridge, the prison at Alcatraz Island, and the
Fisherman's Wharf, which boasts fresh Dungess crabs and other seafood. Opportunities for fine dining and shopping are
plentiful and there are many parks, museums, and other cultural amenities. Visitors can drive down Lombard Street's eight
hairpin turns past stunning Victorian mansions, but the city is best explored by foot or by one of its world-famous cable cars.
San Francisco is famously located on the San Andreas fault and is extremely prone to earthquakes. Its climate is unusual with large differences between ocean and inland temperatures, and fog is persistent during certain times of year. Winter temperatures are mild, but summer temperatures often only reach the 50s. Cable cars, the BART subway, and MUNI buses provide excellent transportation, but the city suffers from space constraints, an extremely competitive job market, and the highest living and housing costs in the country. San Francisco is easily reached by car, bus, train, or air to San Francisco International Airport or Oakland International Airport.
