There`s a place for everyone in San Francisco

There’s a place for everyone in San Francisco,
no matter if you’re local or just in town for
a visit. This is a city of unique neighborhoods
(even “micro-hoods”) and colorful contrasts.
We’re home to innovators and athletes,
bohemians and foodies, activists, do-gooders,
and a fog so famous it has a name (hello, Karl).
You’re always free to be yourself and you’ll
never be bored. Whether you’re into local
produce or burritos, graffiti or go-go dancing,
getting lost on a hike or amongst the shelves
in an old Beat hangout, feeling like a local
here takes nothing more than an open mind
and a healthy dose of curiosity.
Airbnb reached out to our eclectic San Francisco
host community and compiled a list of
their neighborhood favorites. Illustrated by
Agnes Lee, The Local List will guide you
through muraled alleys and reclusive vistas,
from the Embarcadero to Land’s End and back.
For even more ideas for things to do, visit
sanfrancisco.travel or go to the Visitor
Information Center at 900 Market Street.
