Chinatown lies close to Union Square, and is home to some 30,000 Cantonese speaking Chinese. It's a great place to relax and explore, and has many small shops and markets to browse through, as well as the best Chinese Restaurants in the city.
Haight Ashbury is to the South West of the Downtown area of the city, and is where you will find the home of 60's flower power. There are plenty of the older Victorian houses, and the area is quickly becoming a fashionable place to live, close to Golden Gate Park.
No visit to the city is complete without a trip out on the ferry to the supposedly escape proof prison of Alcatraz, which in its 30 years as a maximum security prison until 1963 housed characters as unsavoury as Al Capone, and Machine Gun Kelly.
The Golden Gate Bridge that spans the bay was the highest and largest suspension bridge in the world at the time of its completion in 1937, and has become an iconic symbol of the city.
