‘Take me back to San Francisco, be sure to wear some flowers in your hair.’ begins our trip to San Francisco, the distinguished city of California, the richest state in America. Our first goal is to see the Golden Gate Bridge bridge that comes to mind when we say places to see in San Francisco.. Despite its affordable price, we drop our suitcases at the Hampton Inn, which stole our hearts at first sight with its central location and very modern decoration, and start walking around the streets of San Francisco after having a snack from our complimentary breakfast. The first thing that caught our attention was the density of black people and the homeless on the streets…
POWEL STREET, CABLE CAR
Manual streetcar system installed years ago to get over the bumpy streets of San Francisco CABLE CAR continues its duty as a touristic activity today.. Reaching the starting point, Powell Street, we enter the cable car line.. While one of our brother from San Francisco is performing live, one of the madmen is shouting and shouting with a book in his hand, no one intervenes, we are surprised.. Is this what they call the land of the freedoms?
SAN FRANCISCO TRAVEL GUIDE
Watch the outdoors by tram, down and down going up, over the hills, it is surprising that there are so many ups and downs, we reach the Fishermans Wharf area, one of the points where we can see the Golden Gate bridge. Cable Car has 2 different routes, but they both end near Fisherman’s Wharf, so we don’t question it.
GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE
And here is the Golden Gate Bridge. If you look at the photo very carefully, you can see the GOLDEN GATE Bridge, which is the most important symbol of the United States after the Statue of Liberty.. (People pull a little closer.?) To pass as a subtitle that Captain Joe Fremont gave this name to the bridge because it reminds him of the Golden Horn called GOLDEN HORN in Istanbul. I would like. Isn’t it interesting?
FISHERMANS WHARF, PIER 39
Our next stop is PIER 39. There are wide and long piers called piers in abundance on the San Francisco waterfront.. Pier 39 is the most important and most beautiful of these.. In fact, I think PIER 39 is the most interesting place in San Francisco.. Many shops, cafes and restaurants left and right, many people from 7 to 70 walking along the pier.
CRAB HOUSE 39
Pier means sea, sea means seafood, in San Francisco, seafood means crab.? In San Francisco, we search for where the crab is again, and find Crab House 39, which is at the top of the options, as if we had put it with our hands.
San Francisco is a complete crab heaven.. It is possible to experience all kinds of it from soup to salad, from whole baked crab to pasta, both in street vendors and in the most luxurious restaurants.. Crab House on Pier 39, one of the city’s attractive tourist destinations, is one of the best in the city for crab.

WASHINGTON SQUARE PARK, UNION SQUARE, CHINA NEIGHBORHOOD
After energizing with lots of seafood, this time we start climbing the San Francisco hills with strength to the ground.. We pass through Coit Tower, Washington Square Park and Chinatown on our way to Union Square, which is considered the center of the city.. This is the largest Chinatown in the USA… It is really spread over such a large area that we feel like we are visiting China rather than visiting Chinatown.. To be honest, we were a little disappointed when we arrived at Union Square. We expected the area, which is called the huge San Francisco city center, to be more magnificent… We take a breather in the park in the square and move along Market Street where there are luxury shops on both sides.
CALZONE’S PIZZA CUCINA, ITALIAN NEIGHBORHOOD
After our sleep break at our hotel, we are on the streets again in the evening. Destination The Italian Quarter on the edge of the giant Chinatown in San Francisco. San Francisco has the largest Chinatown as well as the largest Italian neighborhood in the USA, and as a result, many Italian cuisine options are among the best restaurants in the city. We love this neighborhood of mink trattorias all around.

SAN FRANCISCO HOUSES, TARTINE BAKERY
The next morning we throw ourselves into the winding streets of San Francisco, admiring the colorful wooden houses with bay windows.. This city really has a different spirit from the standard American cities, we love it.
This time our target is the Tartine Bakery, which has established a throne in the hearts of San Francisco residents.. Good food is a passion for San Francisco Luans. They are willing to travel long distances for a good meal, or to wait in long queues for a good cup of coffee.. I personally witness this, I cannot believe the queue in front of a local coffee shop and I ask “What are you waiting for?”. The coffee there is very good, it’s worth waiting in line, I’ve learned.?

LOMBARD STREET
After saying goodbye to Tartine Bakery, we find a taxi, albeit with difficulty, and throw ourselves back to the San Francisco beach side. Before we go to Fishermans Wharf, we stop by Lombard Street on our list of places to visit in San Francisco. We descend from Lombard on the zigzag road lined with flowers and beautiful houses, and we are amazed that even cars can pass through the narrow road.
GHIRARDELLI, FISHERMANS WHARF
In a short time we reach Fishermans Wharf, the neighbor of Lombard. Fishermans Wharf is a lively area by the seaside where mainly seafood restaurants and souvenir shops are locatedI am a tourist. Well, since we are tourists, he says it’s okay, we enjoy visiting Fishermans Wharf.. We visit the open-air shopping center called Ghirardelli, where there are also souvenir shops and concept restaurants, and we buy their famous chocolates.
FOG HARBOR FISH HOUSE
Our minds are on the delicious crabs we ate yesterday. We even forget to see the sea lions that you should see on the beach of Fishermans Wharf, and we throw ourselves back to Pier 39 for a new crab experience.. This time our target is Fog Harbor Fish House. We invite you to Fog Harbor for the details of one of the most enjoyable lunches I’ve ever had in my life.
San Francisco, where we accomplished a lot in a short time San Francisco we are coming to the end of our trip, we say goodbye for now to meet in another city to eat and drink.
