San Francisco San Francisco

The iconic, orange-hued towers of the Golden Gate Bridge stand proudly against the blue sky, sometimes shrouded in a billow of purple fog like an image out of a dream. Further inland, a row of Painted Ladies rises up a hill, identical save for the palette that adorns their ornate eaves. Behind them, a line of skyscrapers loom. San Francisco is a city of contrasting scenery, striking differences that are perhaps what makes it so vital. Since the frenzied days of the Gold Rush, a sense of exuberance has flowed through San Francisco's many distinct neighborhoods, and today the city maintains its reputation as one of the most extraordinary cosmopolitan regions of the world.
