The symbol of San Francisco, the

pass up seeing one of the Wonders
of the Modern World. The Golden
Gate Park offers amazing views of
the ocean, Alcatraz island, and
the bridge. It's a great place to
have a picnic, toss around a
frisbee or go for a walk.

3. Fisherman's Wharf
One of the most popular tourist destinations in the city, Fisherman's
Wharf offers lots to do. From Pier 39, to Cannery Shopping Center, to
Ghirardelli Square, and the San Francisco Maritime national Historical
Park, you can spend an entire day wandering around this exciting
neighborhood.

4. Alcatraz Island
Located a mile and a half offshore of San Francisco, Alcatraz is an
amazing historical site not to be missed. On the island there is a
lighthouse, a military fortification, a military prison, and a federal
prison. After the prison was closed, the island became a tourist
attraction. Landmarks to see on the island include the main cell house,
dining hall, library, lighthouse, and the recreations yard.

5. Chinatown
San Francisco's Chinatown is the oldest Chinatown in North America
and the second largest Chinese community outside of Asia. The
restaurants located here are considered to be the birthplace of
Westernized Chinese cuisine. Interestingly, Chinatown draws more
visitors annually than the Golden Gate Bridge.

6. AT&T Park
Home of the San Francisco Giants, AT&T Park is a baseball field located
right on the water. Behind the left field bleachers is the Coca-Cola Fan
Lot, which features an 80-foot long Coca-Cola bottle with slides inside,
for both kids and adults, that lights up anytime a Giant hits a home run.
Because of the parks proximity to the water, many fans like to rent
boats or kayaks and sit on the water, trying to catch home runs or foul
balls.

7. Ghirardelli Square
Located in the Fisherman's Wharf neighborhood of the city,
Ghirardelli Square is a landmark public square with shops and
restaurants. There are many different shops and restaurants
to go to, but you can't miss out on the Ghirardelli chocolate.
Be sure to stop into one of their stores, or the factory, to get a
delicious sundae!
