  Set on the tip of a peninsula with water on three sides and green hills in the distance, San Francisco enjoys an enviable natural setting. Since the mid-19th-century Gold Rush, which helped make it the ninth largest city in the USA by the turn of the 20th century, San Francisco has regularly set the social and cultural pace for the rest of the USA, and often the world, to follow. This guidebook introduces the reader to San Francisco's history, people, culture and economy and then focuses on the worthwhile sights and places of interest to visit. The user-friendly text is packed with travel tips, information panels, full-colour photographs, maps and climate charts, enabling visitors to make the most of the time available.
