San Francisco Vacations & Travel

San Francisco Vacations

San Francisco, that romantic City by the Bay, with its iconic red-toned Golden Gate Bridge, welcomes throngs of vacationers yearly.

San Francisco and its neighboring town of Berkeley were at the center of the 1960s peace movement. Although more than 50 years have flown by since 1967’s original Summer of Love, you can still feel the positive vibes in Golden Gate Park, with its grassy meadows, colorful flowers and delightful redwood grove and Haight-Ashbury.

When to Go

Pick a month of the year and there's always a festival or street party on somewhere. Unless a bit of fog or a brisk morning perturbs you, you can't go too wrong. The best months to come are either side of the summer peak season, with the September to November period being particularly festive.
