Once upon a time, when I was still very little, I loved singing along to the famous song “if you are going to San Francisco, be sure to wear some flowers in your hair” and I didn't even dare to dream back then that one day I would actually end up in San Francisco... see the Golden Gate Bridge with my own eyes, walk along the narrow streets, and ride the cable car... But life very often brings unexpected surprises, and here I am in the city of my dreams!

Ah, San Francisco! Walking along these narrow streets, climbing up and then rolling down the hills, is a huge pleasure! There is so much to see here besides the Golden Gate! In San Francisco, you will find the oldest Chinatown in America, where you can sit in a Chinese restaurant or buy cheap trinkets and souvenirs. Also, be sure to find the neighborhood where the hippie movement began, where walking along the narrow streets you can meet many unusual and interesting people, stop by a coffee shop, or just relax to the sounds of reggae drifting from a window. In San Francisco, definitely take a walk through the park, which, if I'm not mistaken, is larger in area than Central Park in New York itself. Buy a coffee at Starbucks and take a leisurely stroll through the cozy streets lined with Victorian-style buildings. And of course, don't forget to visit Alcatraz! The island where the famous prison stands is very beautiful in itself; it's worth taking a tour just for the views that open up from it. And the prison... I still get goosebumps when I remember Alcatraz... A creepy place, but it draws you in somehow... It's worth stepping into a cell for just a couple of minutes to start appreciating all the joys of life and freedom again.
