San Francisco is located in northern California. Second only to New York, it is the second largest city in terms of population density in the United States and an important military and trade port.

Despite this, however, those who have visited San Francisco will find it very different from most American cities. History has created its uniqueness, that is, openness and diversity. The San Francisco area was settled during the Gold Rush in the 19th century. Over the past two centuries, immigrants from all over the world have poured into the city and brought their own culture, beliefs and food with them. Today, San Francisco can be said to be the most avant-garde, and open-minded city in the United States. Its tolerance is also the best embodiment of the melting pot of American culture.

Tourists can visit iconic attractions such as the Golden Gate Bridge, Lombard Street, and Union Square. You can also take one of the city’s famous cable cars to the Fisherman's Wharf where many seafood restaurants can be found. Tourists often also like to catch a glimpse of the sea lions that live near the wharf.
