Well known as the birthplace of the hippie movement in North America, it is no wonder this dazzling yet calm west-coast city was chosen by many to free themselves of conventions. San Francisco is a laidback paradise for those who enjoy fantastic weather, beautiful natural and man-made sights and a plethora of fantastic neighborhoods to explore and enjoy. The city is really a collection of small neighborhoods surrounding the seven hills of San Fran. Also known as the hilliest city in the States, an amazing array of architecture, landscaping and multiculturalism means the city has a lot to offer to anyone up for a little adventure. A large Chinatown, Japan Town and Hispanic quarter mean you can experience and come to understand what made America what it is today.

Thankfully, the various offerings are not limited to the locals. The pleasures of the city are abundant and easily accessible, and for such a sophisticated city, it still has very little of the coldness or artificiality New York or L.A. Truly a welcoming city to visitors or long-term residents, you would be lucky to call it home!
