an awsome city, so much personality and class.

for a west coast city, it has some gems...especially when you look at LA or San Diego, even portland for that matter.

great tour

Thread of the month. Truely fantastic pictures of the most beautiful city in North America. Your pics say it all. I love SF.

ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CITIES IN THE AMERICAS!

Urbandeco · January 1st, 2008, 07:03 PM

Agreed, one of the most beautiful in the Americas if not the world. SF is one of those cities that you realize how special it is after being there a few days and really exploring the neighbourhoods, and some of the outlying regions. The area surrounding SF is spectacular.

Dr.Jerdo · January 1st, 2008, 09:28 PM

I totally agree..What a city..Frisco

Pegasusbsb27 · January 2nd, 2008, 01:28 AM

Beautiful, indeed...but "the most beautiful in the Americas"?...I think you've gone too far...

fx8 · January 2nd, 2008, 05:34 AM

Truly the most beautiful city in the Americas. SF reminds me of Manhattan, especially in here:

I'd put Rio first, and probably Vancouver next. San Francisco is a great city, but it would need to be green to be one of the most beautiful.

Great pics!

What's the "O" in SFO?

Never been there, I want to go!

My two cents in the Rio vs. SFO issue:

The fact that you've seen "thousands" of pics of Rio does not at all mean that you know what Rio looks like. By the same token, your pictures of SFO, as great as they are, IMO do not translate 0.1% of the beauty of the City, they do not do justice to the feeling it exudes once you're there, walking its streets.

Not only does Rio's natural setting rival that of SF, but IMO it is by far more beautiful. If you ever get to visit Rio you'll probably see for yourself that it's not even fair to compare Rio's setting to that of any other city, so beautiful it is.

But when it comes to it (or the whole package, as someone else has put it here) SF is much more attractive a city than Rio. Hands down. I've been to SFO several times and I keep coming back because I just can't get enough of it. I find it to be THE most beautiful city I've been to -- in the Americas, that is.

I just wonder what Rio would look like if it were not as run down as it is today.

" I left my heart, in San Francisco..."

Come on people. This is not a competition. The problem is the title "The most beautiful in the Americas"...Well, the Americas have too many beautiful cities in fact! Buenos Aires, Rio, Vancouver, New York, Havana, Recife, Washington DC, Los Angeles, Salvador, Mar Del Plata, Santiago do Chile and so on. But lets give to San Francisco what belongs to it. San Francisco is beautiful ( despite its not the "most beautiful" of course). But what to say about the Golden Gate Bridge? The SF/Oakland Bay Bridge? The Presidio Area, Market Street? The cable cars? Union Square?. Come on! San Fran is really very, very beautiful. In fact, I think that it is the MOST BEAUTIFUL CITY IN THE UNITED STATES!

Rio has a beautiful setting and people, but it has dirty streets, tons of crime, graffitti, and a corrupt government, [this is coming from a local] so let's not compare it to San Francisco. This isn't a competition, and it's the most beautiful city in the posters' opinion, so respect that.

Very nice pics.

Very nice pics.

And like Rio, San Francisco is famous to be a very, very liberal city. (Remember the 60's and 70's the Berkley University, the gay movement!). That's great!
