    This San Francisco neighborhood is a popular tourist destination, known for its beautiful scenery and wide variety of shops, restaurants, museums, and attractions. It also hosts several annual events, including the July 4th fireworks show.

    ------------------------------
    Lombard Street

    Nicknamed the “Crookedest Street in the World,” Lombard Street is one of San Francisco’s most iconic landmarks and has served as a backdrop for action scenes in movies like Venom. Each year, millions of visitors navigate or stroll down its eight sharp hairpin turns. Nestled among elegant Russian Hill mansions and beautifully maintained gardens, it’s also one of the city’s most picturesque streets. Capture a stunning photo from the bottom looking up, or enjoy sweeping views from the top overlooking San Francisco Bay, the Bay Bridge, and Coit Tower.

    ------------------------------

    Civic Center

    San Francisco’s Civic Center serves as the city’s government hub, featuring two expansive plazas and anchored by the impressive San Francisco City Hall. The building is easily recognized by its gold-accented dome, which ranks as the fifth largest in the world.

    ------------------------------
    Twin Peaks

    Standing at 922 feet, Twin Peaks is the second-highest point in San Francisco after Mt. Davidson and offers breathtaking views of the Bay Area, making it a world-renowned tourist destination. Once named “Los Pechos de la Choca” (Breasts of the Maiden) by early Spanish settlers, the twin summits provide postcard-worthy vistas and are rich in native plant and animal life. Most visitors reach the north peak parking lot by car, tour bus, bike, or on foot to take in the sweeping 180-degree panorama of the region.
