About San Francisco

Few cities worldwide can match the combined scenic location, urban energy, arts, restaurants, and cultural diversity that San Francisco offers. Less than a day's drive to Napa Valley, Lake Tahoe, Carmel/Monterey, the Gold Country, Yosemite, the Sierra Nevada mountains, the Northern California coast, and hundreds of regional parks, San Francisco offers endless choices for recreation and regional travel. San Francisco is also commuting distance from the high-tech world of Silicon Valley. San Francisco is home to the SF Giants, the San Francisco 49ers, as well the world famous San Francisco Symphony.
