being the birthplace of the United Nations in 1945. The city stands as the
cultural, commercial, and financial center of the state and the country.
San Francisco After being almost completely burnt in 1906 earthquake, the
city rose from its ashes to host the prestigious Panama-Pacific

Golden Gate Bridge (built in 1937) and cable cars (the oldest dates to
1873). It is surrounded by immaculate natural scenery, draped in fog all
year round and is dotted with several Victorian houses. San Francisco

cool summers that bring dense fog- a feature accentuated by the city’s
distinct microclimates.
