San Francisco Tips & Tricks, San Francisco, California (B)

San Francisco, one of America’s most visited cities, draws in tourists from all over the world! Even the locals and nearby residents like to join in on the fun that this wonderful city has to offer. But, with so many people vying to catch a glimpse, it can often become an overwhelming (and chaotic) adventure.
