About San Francisco
From the Golden Gate Bridge to the Bay Bridge, the City of San Francisco is filled with beauty and wonder. The distinctive and dynamic city, known for its culture and activism, draws residents from all over the world.
The Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) delivers you from the San Francisco International Airport into the heart of the city. Historical sites such as Fisherman's Wharf await you, as do brand-new sites such as Pac Bell Park, home of the San Francisco Giants.
A variety of vibrant communities exist throughout the four-fifths of the City that comprise California's 8th Congressional District. Its neighborhoods are just as distinctive, from downtown to Chinatown, Nob and Russian Hills, the Marina, the Castro, the Richmond, the Fillmore, the Western Addition, Potrero Hill, Pacific Heights, Noe Valley, Haight-Ashbury, the Mission District, South of Market, and Bayview Hunters Point.
The San Francisco Convention and Visitors Bureau web site can help you plan a trip to San Francisco.
