San Francisco is one of those unusual places where a foghorn imitation contest can draw as much attention as the gala balls announcing the opening of the symphony, opera, and ballet seasons.

From Union Square to North Beach and Japantown, each neighborhood will spark your curiosity. The writers of the Beat Generation, the hippies of the late 60s Summer of Love, and the LGBTQ+ community have all contributed to making the city what it is today. San Francisco is also one of the world’s top culinary destinations, thanks to its diverse cultural influences and proximity to fresh produce.

Two airlines will transport you to this destination, United and French Bee.
