San Francisco – 20 attractions for 2 days (2nd day)

In the previous article, I am the plan-review of attractions that can be visited in San Francisco in one day. In this we will continue walking around the city and see where you can go if there is another day in stock. Let me remind you that these are only recommendations, and you can make your own action plan, having drawn some common ideas from my reviews. For example, in San Francisco there are many museums and attractions, none of which we did not pay attention. I think they should lay at least a whole day if you like this pastime. Shopping, concerts and restaurants remained for us as side (for all this is perfectly suitable for the evening).

In the second article dedicated to the sights of San Francisco, read about:

2 day in San Francisco

As I already wrote, we are with Andrews. Fans of hiking and leisurely familiarity with city attractions. The second day we devoted to the study of such places in San Francisco, as:

• Richmond area (wide streets with local buildings),
• Lands End (View of the Pacific Ocean and Gold Gate Bridge),
• SEA Cliff (Dear area with steep mansions),
• GOLDEN GATE PARK (Big Park, Rogged Sights),
• Aloamo Square Park (Park, which overlooks the famous Victorian mansions).

Before you go for a walk, you need to park the car, if, of course, you did not prefer moving around the city by public transport. We, for example, filmed housing in Auckland, so the center of San Francisco traveled on a car. About parking I wrote at the beginning of the first article, so I will not repeat.

Awer Richmond (Outer Richmond)

We did not plan to visit the Richmond district, and they got here by chance, heading from Fulton Street, on which they left the car, to the town called «Edge of land».

In general, Richmond, or rather, that part of it, through which we passed (Outer Richmond), nothing of the row of outstanding. Wide streets, ordinary houses of ordinary residents. Occasionally Finding Cute Copies.

To date, a large our-speaking community is concentrated in Richmond, and still fully Chinese, which seems to have enough everywhere in the city.

«Edge of land» LANDS END)

From this Treiler, breathtaking views are open at once on three sights: the Pacific Ocean, the Bay and the Golden Gate Bridge. Just for the sake of these species it is worth getting here. Add even remoteness from urban fuss, thickets of cypresses, the opportunity to see sea lions, fresh air, cheerful breeze, and definitely will not be able to look here.
