One of the most beautiful and desirable cities in the world, San Francisco is the place everyone knows about and everyone wants to visit whether you are speaking to an east coast U.S. resident or a European resident. This European city and its nearby surroundings serve as a focal point for business, the arts, schools, and an influx of residents perpetually growing. San Francisco creates the San Francisco Bay Area, and forms part of the greater San Jose-San Francisco-Oakland Combined Statistical Area whose population is over 7 million. U.S. census data shows that San Francisco has the highest population density of any major U.S. city aside from New York City. San Francisco has unique characteristics when compared to other major cities in the U.S. including its steep rolling hills, an eclectic mix of architecture as exemplified by authentic Victorians next door to modern skyscrapers and of course the unmatched physical beauty surrounded by the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay. There are a total of 42 hills within city limits located mostly in the following areas: Nob Hill, Pacific Heights, Russian Hill, Telegraph, Buena Vista Park, Mount Davidson, Mt. Sutro, and Twin Peaks. San Francisco’s favorite hallmarks include its cable cars, the Golden Gate Bridge, and its chocolate “Ghirardelli Square.” Surrounded on three sides by water, San Francisco’s climate is strongly influenced by the cool currents of the Pacific Ocean. The weather has a tendency to be cooler all year round, characterized by overcast and fog. However, location is key in San Francisco due to the fact that while for some areas such as Sunset and Richmond remain mostly foggy, other areas like Downtown and Nob Hill simoultaneously remain sunny. San Francisco has a Japantown and Chinatown; both are among the largest and oldest in the US. It also boasts a budding Vietnamese community in the Tenderloin neighborhood, Filipinos in Crocker-Amazon and South of Market, an Italian community in North Beach, a French Quarter, and Irish and Russian communities in the Richmond District. The predominantly Hispanic Mission District is the oldest neighborhood in the city, being the site of Mission Dolores, established in 1776. Russian Hill is a residential neighborhood most famous for Lombard Street "the crookedest street in the world". Haight-Ashbury gained prominence during the "Summer of Love" 1960s for its counter-culture and concentration of hippies. The Castro neighborhood has the world's highest concentration of homosexuals. In addition to the predominantly gay Castro, there are significant concentrations of gays in NoeValley, Diamond Heights, Bernal Heights, Potrero Hill, Haight-Ashbury, Hayes Valley, and SOMA. Not to be missed are the beautiful homes and area of the city known as Pacific Heights as well as victorians in the Haight-Ashbury and the "painted ladies" of Alamo Square and the Castro. San Francisco is also famous for its which were designed to carry residents up those steep hills. It is still possible to take a cable car ride up and down Nob and Russian Hills. Along with New Orleans' streetcars, San Francisco's cable cars are one of only two mobile United States National Monuments. Coit Tower, a notable landmark dedicated to San Francisco's firefighters, is located at the top of Telegraph Hill. The South of Market neighborhood was an epicenter of the dot-com boom of the late 1990s. A new neighborhood, Mission Bay, is being redeveloped from an industrial area at the far eastern end of South of Market. The cornerstones of this development are the SBC Park baseball stadium and an extension of the University of California, San Francisco medical school. The best-known, as well as biggest, park is Golden Gate Park which is 174 acres larger than New York's Central Park. Another notable park is The Presidio at the south edge of the Golden Gate. The Presidio is part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, which includes Alcatraz, and many other large local parks. Buena Vista Park located in the Haight-Ashbury, is the city's oldest, established in 1867, nearby Alamo Square is famous for its views of the city and the famous Victorian houses known as the Painted Ladies. A large fresh-water lake, Lake Merced, is located in the south west corner of the city near San Francisco State University and Fort Funston. This city has so much to offer you can read forever.
