Having been to San Fran, i thought it was more of a pleasant than beautiful city. Its not ugly but most of the city felt quite temporary to me as most of the houses were of wood (which to my British eyes is quite different). The prettiest part around the city hall didnt really work for me as there were lots of homeless and weird people. As a tourist i also found there was very little if anything i wasnt expecting. Its was as if the city had already sold / marketed everythng the city had to offer. I think it was also stupidity on my part but i was expecting a more interesting cityscape than the grid its on. Just to clarify i stayed at the Mark hopkins Intercontinental so my views on the city wernt marred by my location or accomodation.

philadweller · April 13th, 2009, 07:12 PM

With all of my travels in the America's I would say San Francisco's beauty is mediocre at best. I like San Francisco but think it is highly overrated in the beauty department. I remember being underwhelmed the first time I visited and after living in Oakland for a year I saw more beauty in the other side of the Bay. No other American city has the critical mass of homeless and weirdos as San Francisco. Walking down Market Street at night is like a zombie tour. Some people like that I suppose.

Quebec City, Montreal, Boston, NYC, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Washington DC, Baltimore, New Orleans and Chicago are better examples of architectural eye candy. I like a wide variety of masonry buildings in my cities. San Francisco does not have staying power like the buildings of the Northeast because many of the homes are wooden. Wooden homes in cities are good in earthquake zones. SF's seismic dilemma has rendered the look and feel of a city that is temporary.

I tend to agree with Philadweller, I like S.F. a lot but find Chicago, New York and Washington more interesting and stimulating. There's no denying its wonderful location by the bay but that can't compare with the stunning location of Rio de Janeiro, or Sydney. Architecturally I think probably Buenos Aires is the best combination of old and new in the Americas but it's always difficult to give a definite "best" as there are so many aspects that make up a great city.
Still, S.F. has quite a lot going for it, pity about so many "drop outs"!

salaverryo · January 22nd, 2010, 07:28 PM

San Francisco, like New York & Buenos Aires, is pedestrian-friendly, a wonderful city for walking. Sadly, the same can't be said of the rest of the metropolitan (as opposed to suburban) American cities like Chicago, Washington, Philly or Boston. They lack that overall, busy street-life feel that SanFran, B.A. & NYC have.

guilparanhos · January 26th, 2010, 04:51 AM

I'm afraid Vancouver just doesn't cut it in the beautiful city stakes.
Wonderful location but overall fairly bland city - sorry.

***christos-greece*** · April 7th, 2010, 05:57 PM

The airport of San Francisco is called SFO?
