    A city of contrasts: beautiful, charming and with lovely sights, tastes and sips, yet with a shocking inability to deal with homelessness, public cleanliness and efficient public transportation.

    I used to live there. It is a great city! Always bring a jacket or sweater for the evening, regardless of the time of year! You will be surrounded by water on this peninsula.

    It might still be cold and windy in the summer bc of how close we are to the ocean. Eat some sourdough bread + clam chowder, check out Dolores Park, and be prepared to walk.

    Such a wonderful beautiful city, but something really needs to be done to save this city (may i add not just this city) from it’s increasingly growing issue of homelessness. It’s heartbreaking 😱💔😔

    Best time to visit: September-October. Summer's cooler than you think, it's also the most crowded. Stick with early fall, when it’s dreamy light sweater season and the skies are relatively fog-free. Read more

    One of the friendliest large cities there is and a great place to escape Summer heat. Avoid the temptation to go to Pier 39 and Haight-Ashbury. Both are tourist traps full of overpriced stores.

    The best place to learn the history of The City is on a free SF City Guides walking tours http://bit.ly/16AdJ5 Especially the Haight-Ashbury, Chinatown, Castro and Golden Gate Park West tours!

    A friend who travels a lot told me once, "you can't compare any city in Latin America against a city in US, America cities are fascinating". He's right, San Francisco is like another planet.

    Perhaps the best dining in the US. Don’t hang too long around Fisherman’s Wharf. There is so so much more to see.

    Do not go to some bike rental place for biking the bridge. Get an electronic bike for less than half the price!
