San Francisco Travel Guide

San Francisco is a famous city in northern California on America's west coast. San Francisco gets its Chinese name "the old gold mountain" from the 19th-Century gold rush. Many people from all over the world flooded California in the hopes of striking gold. It is a open-minded, avant-garde city with an atmosphere of freedom. It is very diverse in all aspects of culture, belief and food that make it the embodiment American "melting pot” culture. There are beautiful landmark sites such as the Golden Gate Bridge and winding Lombard Street. Ride the antique-style trolleys up and down the city's steep streets. Go to Pier 39 at bustling Fisherman's Wharf to see the sea lions at play and then head to the eccentric Haight-Ashbury district to catch the spirit of the 1967 Summer of Love. S1967

The Palace of Fine Arts is a popular landmark which you should visit if you are in San Francisco. The recommended sightseeing time is half an hour or maximum one hour. It is a free attraction that features a beautiful architecture with domes and columns. It's set in a colorful park with lots of trees to sit back, relax, and enjoy the beauty of the city. Great place for a stroll to do with friends, family or even kids as you can sit on the grassy side where kids can play while you read or enjoy the architecture which is super ornate and stunning to look at. The park is open both day and night. #createwithtrip #sanfrancisco #usa

How to get to santa rosa from San Francisco?
To add, if you are going to Santa Rosa for business, it is recommended to live there. Fountaingrove Pkwy is located on a hillside that leads from the foot of the mountain to the hill. There is a Fountaingrove Inn at the foot of the mountain, a Hilton in the Mid-Levels, and both are good.
