San Francisco in Pictures

One of my favorite things to do when planning a vacation is to go to Flickr or Google Images and search for the city I’m visiting. I use the photos as a guidebook – sometimes they’ll show the most common tourist sites or sometimes there will be hidden gems.

If you’re not already planning a trip to this fabulous West Coast city, you’ll probably want to after checking out the photos below.
