With its iconic bridge, historic cable cars, and beautiful Victorian architecture, San Francisco is undeniably one of the world’s great cities. Yet the entire Bay Area, in fact, demands to be explored. Just across the Golden Gate, Marin County offers the majestic beauty of Mt. Tamalpais and miles of protected open space. To the east, Oakland and Berkeley anchor the vibrant and diverse East Bay, a region known for its arts, culture, and culinary innovation. North of the bay, Napa Valley and Sonoma County pair lush, rolling landscapes with the some of the world’s most celebrated wines. And to the south, San Jose and Silicon Valley showcase the innovation and entrepreneurial spirit that have shaped the modern world. Along the way, you'll discover charming waterfront towns like Tiburon, Sausalito, and Half Moon Bay, along with incredible shopping, world-class museums, and outdoor delights such as Point Reyes National Seashore.
