San Francisco

San Francisco is a golden dream come true. It is a place where the heart, mind and soul embrace. It is a place where fog and sun mingle playfully above America's favorite skyline. Here, the cool, cloudy comfort of early morning slowly dissolves into the peaceful warmth of a gentle afternoon glow. This is the essence of escape, the perfect escape. Savor it...it is one of a kind.

There is little doubt why San Francisco has been twice named the world's top city by readers of Conde Nast Traveler; since 1988, it has been named the top U.S. city seven times.

San Francisco's stunning beauty is matched by its quiet inner beauty. The city¹s vibrant character and personality are a result of its neighborhoods and people. The city is a cultural wonderland, an ethnic treasure chest where custom, tradition and history are preserved, celebrated and shared. So take your time to explore this magical place. The restless spirit of the city's Barbary Coast past lives on, fueled by a desire to be different, nurtured by infinite viewpoints, personalities, and styles. You'll find that the Gold Rush days have never really ended here; there's still plenty of gold to be found.

From the time you set foot on this piece of land, magical moments abound. The echo of cable car bells from atop great hills. The rejuvenation of the soul upon crossing the Golden Gate Bridge. The splendor and elegance of a boat cruise on the Bay. The touching of wine glasses over a gourmet meal. The views. The people. The sights. The sounds. The city.

So come and share the wealth. Let your heart, mind and soul wander. Stay as long as you like. San Francisco encourages lingering. It was designed with adventure, romance and pleasure in mind. It is one of the life's great indulgences, so indulge. It is one of the world's most gratifying escapes. So escape. It is where the world comes to unwind. It is America's preeminent playground.
