How do I describe 'the California', one of the most popular states of the USA. Its a big state with Hollywood as its heart. Its absolutely gorgeous with different kind of terrains like beaches, Pacific ocean coast line, mountains, rocks, national forests, deserts and you name it. The weather is amazing and nobody wants to leave California. Let's get on with the amazing places to see here:
San Francisco
- Golden Gate Bridge - Even in July, its foggy here sometimes. There are lot of viewpoints to see this bridge. Some of them are -
- Lombard Street - Its also called crooked street. Its in between streets Hyde and Leavenworth. Driving on SFO streets is crazy as roller coaster crazy.
- Ride a cable car in SFO. One can see the ocean from the SFO streets
- Alcatraz jail - Its a must do tour. There is a great view of SFO city from Alcatraz prison.
- Fisherman's wharf
- Twin peaks/Coit tower - Heard sunset is beautiful from here.
- Ghirardelli square - Its all about chocolates here
- China town - I like NY's china town more but SFO's china town is very famous too
Napa Valley/ Sedona
These are wine counties with great wine tasting places. They offer tours.
Monterey

Lake Tahoe
Its small sleepy romantic town amid mountains.

- Downtown is so cute
