San Francisco

San Francisco is a popular tourist spot in Northern California where people visit from all over the world to witness the steep rolling hills, cool summers, and famous landmarks. Some of the most popular spots are the Golden Gate Bridge, cable cars, and the formal Alcatraz Penitentiary. The city is the cultural, commercial, and financial center of the northern part of the state. Although not a likely a famous tourist spot, San Francisco is where you will find the headquarters for many technology companies including the infamous rideshare companies Uber and Lyft. If you're looking for a nice city to move, you may want to consider San Francisco as it was rated high in the world livability rankings, and has a per capita average income of over $100,000. 

RideGuru's Top Spot 

A trip to San Francisco isn't complete without doing a tour of the Golden Gate Bridge. It is a one-of-a-kind sight to see, but nothing compares to doing a bike or walking tour across the bridge, while of course taking many pictures along the way! Make sure to go on a day that's not too foggy, so you can still witness the awesome view of this stunning landmark.
