San Francisco is truly a beautiful city in the United States. I like the vibe of the city, its great! I went there once in the 90's and then most recently, a few months ago and yes I will definitely come back!

Here's a tip: Once you're there, if possible, WALK everywhere you go! You'll take in SO MUCH MORE of the city.

And be sure to explore areas others might take for granted. I'm sure you'll be amazed by the quaint little spots you'll come across!

I'll respect your opnion, but I must say that this is soooo not the case.

There is a huge difference between a run-down building and a nondescript one.

Everytime I go to Rio, I get more and more fascinated by its amazing architecture, no matter how poorly preserved some of it might be.

Rio has a lot of character and identity in that department. It entertains me far more than its natural resources.

In case you're wondering, this is the opinion of someone who thinks that SFO is more attractive than Rio...

This has to be my favorite big city! Whether you stay in one of the many budget San Francisco Hotels or one of the San Francisco Luxury Hotels, you will have the trip of your life. The skyline is amazing thanks to all of the amazing skyscrapers. The people are great, the food is wonderful. San Fran rules!

San Francisco is a wonderful city, no doubt, it has a great vibe and the sights are fantastic, lots to do and see, also. Always loved San Francisco!! But, sorry, San Francisco is NOT the most beautiful city in the AMERICAS, but it certainly is the most beautiful city in AMERICA, IMHO.

Thx for all the awesome pix

Hard to say wich is the most beautiful city in the Americas!!! The Americas have so many cities!!!...Well let's put the patriotism apart and say that the Americas have, at least 4 equally beautiful cities and I should say they are, in alphabetical order:

BUENOS AIRES, NEW YORK, RIO DE JANEIRO AND SAN FRANCISCO

It seems to me that Frisco has the whole package - wonderful natural settings, great architecture and is a vibrant and developed city. I don't understand why people only refers to this city as being a "Gay capital" lol , well at least outside of the U.S . It's a shame that a city like this with so many things to offer "sells" itself to the world in this way, because I'm sure Frisco is great for gays,straights,blacks,hispanics,virgins or so on...many people don't go to SF just because they only know the city as being gay and liberal and this shouldn't happen.

Beatiful city..

Excellent choice of cities. San Francisco is the clear winner in America, as far as I am concerned anyway, but if I had to choose just one city above them all then it would have to be RIO DE JANEIRO. This city has absolutely EVERYTHING, and u just couldn't put in into words how good the setting is. Rio is a real class act!

Metsada · February 9th, 2009, 12:28 AM

Great city. I can't say which city is the most beautiful in the Americas. There are many beautiful cities.

Dydasko10 · April 4th, 2009, 11:46 PM

The most beautiful city in the Americas!!!!

Buenos Aires???? Rio de Janeiro?

Forget it!

In many streets in SFO, especially downtown, looks like Manhattan due to the "Manhattanization" the city experienced during the 70s when the municipality permitted more high rise constructions in Lower Market St. Sometimes SFO it's called the New York of the West.

Castro Street seems to be very...atractive

romanyo · April 5th, 2009, 02:33 AM

All these pics are impressive!!! It's an amazing city!!

IMO, it's not the most beautiful city in the Americas but... just opinions...
