Get to know San Francisco with Viator

The beats and hippies who once cemented San Francisco as the place for 1960s counterculture in the United States have moved on—replaced by yuppies and techies—but San Francisco is still a place to wear flowers in your hair. Today, its world-class parks and museums, walkable neighborhoods, and popular waterfront complete this West Coast city's transformation from a Spanish-era settlement to gold rush frontier-town to cutting-edge metro.
