Skyrocketing rent and tech money inflows are spurring rapid change in San Francisco, driving out lots of seasoned residents and businesses. Plenty of the old classics hang on, such as the St. Francis Fountain and Brava Theater Center. Of course, the fog that envelops the Golden Gate Bridge is a mainstay and Bernal Heights Summit still offers the most magnificent view of the city. New San Francisco has lots to offer as well, with countless hip bars, boutiques and eateries now lining venerable Valencia Street and popping up all over town.
Los Angeles is sunnier than San Francisco, thanks largely to the latter's almost-perpetual fog, but Frisco's fog is better than Los Angeles' smog any day. Getting around San Francisco is a lot easier to enjoy, with shorter distances, less traffic and a better public transit system. Despite San Francisco's ubiquitous hills, it's a city almost made for walking, with charming old neighborhoods, amazing hilltop views and lots of restaurants, shops and mini-breweries. Prefer wine over beer? Be sure to tour Napa Valley if you have time, and don't miss amazing Muir Woods, home to some of the largest and oldest redwood trees in the world.
