Jefferson Street è con il Fisherman's Wharf l'asse portante del divertimento e del tempo libero di San Francisco.
There's no need to advertise Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco
Every tourist bus every map and every brochure point to it as the city's main attraction
It's no surprise then that this area attracts more tourists than any other place in the city
Jefferson Street which runs from Black Point to the Presidio near the Bay
It takes its name from the author of the Declaration of Independence and the third President of the United States
The commercialization of the area began in the 1950s and 1960s
Today the area still retains a bit of the charm typical of that era
The residents don't visit this area much although many are secretly fond of it
Because of the strong connection to the city's maritime past
At Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco visitors will be able to experience it
All the atmosphere of the city's seafaring past
The San Francisco coastline offers countless open spaces
parks squares sidewalks and a beautiful promenade
Where tourists can do many outdoor activities
Enjoy the extraordinary views of the city and the Bay
The walk in the park near the Golden Gate offers privileged access to the coast
It offers a breathtaking view of San Francisco Bay
The sandy dunes next to the marsh host a wide variety of plants
And they are the favorite spot for sunbathers
The imposing profile of the Golden Gate Bridge dominates the entire waterfront
Arriving at the park you pass through some of the most beautiful and historic areas of the city
even the San Francisco Presidio and the Marina
where the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition was held
The beach is the ideal spot for swimmers
And the site of many other recreational activities for over 100 years
The Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco is one of the most beautiful and photographed bridges in the world
The bridge connects San Francisco with Marin
County and is named after the adjacent strait
And it is the main entrance to San Francisco Bay for those coming from the Pacific Ocean
The color of the bridge known as international orange
It was chosen because it blends well with the surrounding natural landscape
And that is why the bridge is easily visible to passing ships
The belief that the bridge must be completely repainted every year is entirely wrong
In 1965 due to increasing corrosion
They decided to implement a lead-based paint removal program
The bridge now requires only routine touch
-ups and they are carried out by 38 workers
Pedestrians and cyclists
