San Francisco
USA
San Francisco packs a peninsula with forty-eight hills, two bridges, the country's oldest Chinatown and a fog pattern locals treat as weather planning. Cable cars still climb California Street, Golden Gate Park runs the width of the avenues, and the bay's microclimates mean summer visitors pack winter jackets — the city's most reliable travel advice.
