With an influx of tech money rapidly transforming San Francisco, there may be no better time to visit the city. There's still plenty of the old charm and attractions to enjoy, but the recent metamorphosis has spiced things up, bringing myriad hip bars, upscale boutiques and unique eateries to the city. Many long-term residents and businesses are leaving San Francisco, but many visitors are taking advantage of the best of both worlds.
Say goodbye to late trains and crowded subways, but don't waste your time looking for a parking spot once you arrive in San Francisco. It's a great city for walking, with a milder climate than the Big Apple and plenty of charming neighborhoods and lots of opportunities for nature hikes in greener pastures such as Philosopher's Way, Presidio Promenade and nearby Muir Woods. This alludes to the main difference between the two cities, namely the healthier lifestyle in San Francisco, where people take frequent breaks from work to read or play handball and, in the evening, head home from the bars at a time when they're just starting to fill in NYC.
Ready to escape the hustle and bustle of the greatest city in the world for San Francisco's more laid-back and natural setting? San Francisco isn't exactly cheaper these days, so let Cheapflights save you some money right off the bat when you use our smart search engine to find the best deals from around the web.
