Tourist Guide

A tall white building with a red roof, surrounded by green trees and grass.
A historic building with ornate white and green trim, large windows, and a prominent central entrance.
A coastal street lined with parked cars and houses, leading to a marina with boats.
A playground with children playing, surrounded by a cityscape with buildings and a mountain in the background.
A building with a number '2640' and vibrant pink bougainvillea flowers.

If you were a tech billionaire looking for a place to live in San Francisco, you’d probably be browsing the Pacific Heights area.

This affluent enclave offers sweeping views of the San Francisco Bay, the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz Island and the Palace of Fine Arts. Shop ‘til you drop down Fillmore Street, where boutique shops line both sides of the street. And to prove to your mates back home that you actually visited this area, snap a selfie from the top of the Lyon Street Steps.
