More About San Francisco
San Francisco is such a diverse city, from the top of the city to the bottom, there's literally something to see and do at every level. Being such a hilly city there are numerous viewpoints to pique your interest, such as Twin Peaks and Coit Tower. Scattered around the city there's enough art galleries and exhibits to fill your stay with nothing but art, some of the most notable being the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and the Palace of Fine Arts. Looking for some of that eclectic San Francisco vibe? Head over to Haight-Ashbury for some cool vintage shops. Down by the water, check out Pier 39 and say hello to the resident sea lions, and make sure to swing by Boudin Bakery for some delicious baked goods.

General Safety Tips: By taking a few simple security precautions before and during your vacation, you can help ensure that you, your traveling companions, and your valuables are as safe and secure as possible.
- To make it easier to replace your passport if it’s lost or stolen, in addition to your passport, take a photocopy of your passport information page (keeping it separate from your actual passport).
- Carry only a limited amount of cash, just enough for gratuities and incidental purchases. Major credit cards are widely accepted and can be replaced if lost or stolen.
- Always lock your hotel room door (including patio and balcony door on any level of the building) and use the peephole before opening the door.
- Store your valuables (such as cash, credit cards and airline tickets) in the hotel’s in-room safe or front desk safety deposit box.
- If you must carry valuables on your person, do so in a pouch or money belt concealed under your clothing. Purses and backpacks can be easy targets for thieves.
- For complete and current safety and security information, including travelers' tips, public announcements, travel advisories and more, please visit the website of the U.S. Department of State at www.travel.state.gov.
