After Mobile World Congress Americas

San Francisco is home to a little bit of everything and never ceases to surprise. Whether you’re a first time visitor or a long-time local, San Francisco’s Golden Gates welcome all. These are 3 of the must-see places while in town:

Alcatraz

“The Rock” is San Francisco’s most famous attraction. Quick tip! Book your trip as early as possible because tickets usually sell out 1-2 weeks in advance.

Golden Gate

“The bridge that couldn’t be built” is now one the seven wonders of the modern world. This famous landmark opened in 1937, after a four-year struggle against relentless winds, thick fog, and treacherous tides.

Cable Cars

Cable cars have been the preferred means of transport for locals and visitors alike. Since the late 19th century, each one-way ride provides spectacular views of the city’s celebrated hills.
