Must- Visit Places in San Fransisco, to Visit

Boudin's Sourdough: According to Boudin’s website, the wild yeasts which grow in the San Francisco air, provide an inimitable, sour taste to the conventional French bread, thus giving it the name ‘sourdough’. The primary recipe of the sour dough is still used, mingled with a part of the original mother dough, in order to bake the loaves. Bouldin’s boasts of being “The Real San Francisco Treat”. Thus, you shouldn’t miss that which makes a claim as this.

Golden Gate: The Golden Bridge used to, at a time; used to be called "the bridge that couldn't be built," yet today; it is 1 of the 7 wonders of the present-day world. This magnificent bridge in San Francisco was opened in 1937, after a four-year effort against the harsh winds, fog, rock and perfidious tides. Walkers including wheelchair-users and riders of bicycles; can go for sidewalks on the bridge throughout daylight hours, to be astounded by the splendor of the view from the bridge. There are places to park cars, on both northern and southern sides of the bridge.

It’s better to visit the park, either for a bike-ride or for a stroll.
