San Francisco is one of the most beautiful locations in the United States, and is located in Northern California on a peninsula 49 square miles in size. It offers a cosmopolitan cultural lifestyle with a leisurely pace. It is a great city to see by foot or by cable car.

San Francisco’s reputation for world-class arts and culture started with the Gold Rush over a century ago, and continues today throughout the Bay Area with many famous museums, opera, renowned theatre, performing arts, and vibrant artist communities.
