About San Francisco

By Maurine Whitsell


An expensive city to visit and one of the most beautiful cities in the world is San Francisco. However, there are many cool things to see for free if you know where to look. There are many of the city's museums that offer free admission once a month, usually on the first Tuesday or Wednesday. You can also find free performances and festivals all over the city during summer. You can even take a free walking tour with a tour guide other than the fact that, there are many of the tourist attractions that cost nothing.

In the end of the XVI century, first settlement was built by the Spanish conquers and received its name in honor of Saint Francisc.

Every Sunday in the summer, there is a free outdoor music concert which is called Stern Grove. Other than that, and there are performances that you can watch by the San Francisco ballet, the Symphony, and many more famous performers. Around the city of San Francisco, you can catch free shows by the San Francisco Mime Troupe and the San Francisco Shakespeare Festival, and these are mostly in different parks. These are indeed great things to attend with some friends, your dog, and a picnic basket.

The most famous sites in San Francisco also happen at no cost. Just like the botanical garden in Golden gate Park which is always free. Taking a walk down the crookedest street is also free for everyone for an experience everyday. Take note that this is one of the most popular things for visitors to see. There is no more as nothing beats taking a walk across the Golden gate Bridge, or just taking a look at it from a distance. This gives you no cost.

Some organizations offer free walking tours of San Francisco, with guides that provide historical facts and information for you and your group. The activity is conducted by the local volunteers who love the city, its history, and legends. You can join them too in their tours of Chinatown, Fisherman's Wharf, North Beach, and more.
