San Francisco

Welcome to one of America's favorite cities; San Francisco.

It's a thriving and prosperous business center, of course, but San Francisco has more reminders of the past than most American cities - such as the famous cable cars.

Historic and ultra-modern buildings can be found side-by-side, even in the downtown area. Shopping and above all eating out are very popular activities in this sociable and extrovert city. San Francisco is built on a series of very steep hills, which have figured in innumerable movies. Nob Hill, for instance, has been the scene of many hair-raising car chases. The city was founded in 1776 by Spanish settlers, and still today has many very large immigrant communities, notably Chinese, Hispanic and Japanese.

The city is famous for the creativity of its inhabitants, which often expresses itself in unexpected and unconventional ways. San Francisco offers a combination of visual attractiveness, cultural richness and quality of life, which is equaled by few cities in the world.
