Discover the Beauty of San Francisco

More laid back than it’s southern neighbour Los Angeles, San Francisco is known as for technological innovation, thanks to the expansion of Silicon Valley. San Francisco also offers incredible historical landmarks to visit, great food, and stunning views of the Golden Gate Bridge connecting each side of the bay. Wander through Alcatraz, the infamous island prison, or find delicious seafood in Fisherman’s Wharf. San Francisco is well worth a stop on any Californian trip thanks to its unique atmosphere and historic attractions. Book your flight to San Francisco with Aer Lingus and see how the “City by Bay” still maintains its charm while being at the heart of the tech industry

Head to Fisherman’s Wharf for waterfront markets, sealion sightings and fresh seafood. For one of the best views of San Francisco Bay, try Nob Hill, home to Lombard Street, “the crookedest street in the world”. Visit San Francisco’s Chinatown, the oldest in North America. The neighbourhood is home to shopping and dining experiences that are rare to find outside of China.
