CITY INFORMATION

San Francisco is the fourth-largest city in California and the 14th-largest in the United States. When someone mentions San Francisco it's hard not to think of car chases, trams, Alcatraz, the Golden Gate Bridge and girls with flowers in their hair. Besides it's legendary status it's also culturally rich and is a thriving economic epi-centre for Californian business. You'll also discover it's home to quite radical thinking and laws � no smoking in restaurants being just one of those Californian ideals. You'll find everything from the sophisticated to the eccentric, the classy to the tacky - good times are guaranteed. San Francisco has a unique mix of physical characteristics, including its months-long episodes of fog, its steep rolling hills, its eclectic mix of architecture.
