One of the most beautiful cities in the United States is San Francisco. It is the fourth-largest city in California. The tip of the San Francisco Peninsula holds the San Francisco mainland. Insular San Francisco includes numerous islands in the San Francisco Bay and the Golden Gate Strait. The most known are Alcatraz, Treasure Island and the Farallon Islands.
If you visit San Francisco, you will experience the excitement of traveling with your RV through the world famous Golden Gate Bridge that connects San Francisco to Marin County. The bridge is an engineering marvel considered one of the greatest works of art of the 20th century. However, this is only one of the several attractions that are waiting for you!
In 1906, the city of San Francisco was devastated by an earthquake. Like the phoenix represented in the city?s flag, the city was rapidly rebuilt. The phoenix symbolizes the strength of the rebirth of the city from the ashes of the fire from the earthquake.
Today, the city enjoys a bohemian reputation gained in the latter half of the 20th century as a counterculture magnet. The diversity of its people enriches the city?s neighborhoods with the cultures of different ethnic group. For example, you must visit the Japantown and Chinatown, the largest and oldest in the US. Also, you will see the growing Vietnamese community in the Tenderloin neighborhood, Filipinos in Crocker-Amazon and South Market, an Italian area in North Beach and Irish and Russian communities in the Richmond District.
In addition, you will love to drive by the picturesque steep rolling hills and view the diverse mix of architecture including Victorian style houses and modern skyscrapers. Also, you will see the well-known cable cars and in the Russian Hill neighborhood the famous Lombard Street, the most crooked street in the world. So, if you decide to take your RV for a vacation, San Francisco offers you a wide variety of alternatives.
