There are many attractions to visit in San Francisco. Whenever that mood strikes me, there’s no better way to cure those blues than taking a fast trip to the west coast U.S city of San Francisco in the state of California.
The city of San Francisco, which is in northern California, is a coastal city on the tip of a peninsula surrounded by the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay. It’s well known for its year-round fog, the iconic Golden Gate Bridge, rolling cable cars and of course the rather colorful Victorian houses. The Financial District’s Transamerica Pyramid is easily its most distinctive skyscraper. Out in the bay area of the city sits Alcatraz Island, site of the notorious former prison.

The city streets are world famous for their steep inclines and designs and have been the setting for many a famous car chase over the years.
Indeed the incredible Steve McQueen car chase was filmed across the hilly roads of the city. Terence Steven “Steve” McQueen was an American actor. Called “The King of Cool”, his “anti-hero” persona, developed at the height of the counterculture of the 1960s, made him a top box-office draw of the 1960’s and 1970’s.
