Colourful neighbourhoods, flower-lined streets and delightfully cool weather make San Francisco a great holiday destination. Frisco’s various landmarks – Alcatraz, Haight Ashbury, the Golden Gate Bridge – have all found fame in popular culture. Explore this hilly city on foot and discover the nooks and crannies favoured by locals, or hope onto one of the city’s famous cable car system and visit its many attractions.

Eat
Franciscan Crab Restaurant – Housed in a neon-lit building on Fisherman’s Wharf, this huge restaurant serves up spectacular views with your order of tasty seafood. Despite being a ‘crab restaurant’, it actually serves up a rather extensive list of seafood, coupled with some meat and pasta dishes for those not so keen on the fruits of the sea. The Dungeness crab is the star of the show – it comes in four different serving sizes – but other seafood dishes are just as enticing.

See
Hearst Castle – William Randolph Hearst’s massive mansion has now been turned into a house museum. The complex is a Mediterranean-inspired wonderland filled with grand pools, sculpted gardens, and cool walkways connecting the buildings. There are five different tours around the site – visitors will get to explore different aspects of the Castle on each tour. There is also a popular evening tour, with actors dressed up in 1930s outfits to simulate the Castle’s heyday.

Stay
Hotel Monaco San Francisco – Located a heartbeat away from bustling Union Square, this luxurious hotel stands out from the crowd of chain hotels in San Francisco with its romantic, style and attention to detail. Guests will enjoy the glamourous, yet highly individual touches in the rooms – canopy beds, eclectic furnishings, and vibrant textiles help make your stay a memorable experience.
