San Francisco is the home to the Golden Gate Bridge, the Silicon Valley and the famous Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary. But that\u2019s only a slice of what this city has to offer. Every year, San Francisco sees an influx of tourists from all over the world. But before you head to San Francisco, here are some things that you should always remember.<\/p>\n
Keep Walking <\/strong><\/p>\n Probably the person who wrote the tagline, Keep Walking<\/em> for the iconic brand Johnnie Walker was walking the streets of San Francisco. The city can become crammed with public and private transport therefore it\u2019s best to enjoy the city on foot. Plus, walking gives you more insights about the people, culture and ethos. Where\u2019s all that fun in an Uber or car rental?<\/p>\n The weather is like the terrain, up and down\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n San Francisco is a hilly city and has plenty of steep climbs and\u00a0declines.\u00a0But it\u2019s not just the terrain. The weather of the city can have its\u00a0ups and downs. One minute, you could have sunshine and the very next minute chilly winds and fog.\u00a0 So, it is always good to carry a spare set of clothes (warmer the better). Don\u2019t blame the weather, San Francisco has plenty of water bodies, which can change the climate pretty quickly.<\/p>\n Ready for the cable car experience<\/strong><\/p>\n With so much technology, wouldn\u2019t like a bit of vintage stuff like the cable car of San Francisco, which takes you back in an earlier era when like was slow-paced. But before you get excited, here\u2019s a little caveat. Cable cars can get crowded so use them only when you have a lot of time to spare.<\/p>\n The people wear pride on their sleeve <\/strong><\/p>\n San Francisco has a liberated culture. It\u2019s often called the rainbow city as it witnesses\u00a0the annual Gay Pride Parade, which attracts more than a million people around the world.\u00a0Therefore, when here, don\u2019t point fingers on people for their orientation. Live and let live.<\/p>\n Bring a pair of sneakers to the beach <\/strong><\/p>\n Yes, you read that right. The thing is San Francisco beaches are rocky with plenty of shells and small rocks. So, getting a pair of slippers might end up hurting you with a cut or a bruise. Plus, there\u2019s another incentive of getting your sneakers, which is hiking. San Francisco has great hiking spots next to the beaches like the Golden Gate Park,\u00a0Land\u2019s End and the Presidio.<\/p>\n
