San Francisco is a good place for people who seek white collar jobs. It is situated close to Silicon Valley and other IT companies brought about by the "Dot-Com booms." Fresh graduates from all over the world would try their luck in the very competitive business world in this city. Aside from these, the city has a lot of things to be proud of, including its fun attractions and spectacular destinations.
If San Francisco is one of your top future destinations, here are some of the most beautiful and interesting attractions that you should definitely see there.
1. The Golden Gate Bridge
We have seen the Golden Gate Bridge a lot in movies, most especially in disaster films where it usually breaks into two because of a major earthquake or an alien attack. The bridge actually serves as city's connection to Marin County and the other towns located up north. It was built some time in the 1930s and was finished four years later. From the bridge, you can get a good view of the surroundings including the Coit Tower, another San Francisco top tourist attraction.
2. The Coit Memorial Tower
The Coit Tower is situated on Telegraph Hill. It is 500 feet or 150 meters tall. Its name came from Lillie Hitchcock Coit, an honorary associate of a San Francisco firefighting company, who donated $100,000 when she died. The tower is the best place to be if you want to look at spectacular murals, art collections, paintings, and many more. It was recently featured on the show "The Amazing Race."
3. The Alcatraz Island
The Alcatraz Island is situated in the San Francisco Bay. It used to be a military prison, a lighthouse and a federal prison. In the 70s, it was transformed into a landmark and tourist spot. Visitors who wish to see the island up close could ride a ferry boat in Pier 33, which is located near the Fisherman's Wharf. This San Francisco attraction is a historic site and a museum where you can find several artifacts.
