Overview

Take a trip to San Francisco on your United States Vacation

San Francisco is a city that has long embodied the essence of a progressive America, welcoming people from various backgrounds and fostering a rich tapestry of cultural influences. It's a city where technology, politics, and a diverse population converge to create a unique blend of charm and diversity.

Iconic landmarks like the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz are integral to the city's identity, offering both architectural marvels and captivating stories. Climbing the scenic Lombard Street and visiting Fisherman's Wharf with its lively sea lions at Pier 39 are must-do activities.

To truly understand San Francisco, explore its neighborhoods. Chinatown boasts authentic Chinese cuisine and a bustling atmosphere. Nearby, City Lights Booksellers & Publishers, rooted in the Beat Generation, is a literary haven. The Cable Car Museum, an ode to San Francisco's beloved transport, and Coit Tower, providing panoramic views, are other gems.

The Haight, once the epicenter of the city's hippie movement, maintains a laid-back vibe with colorful Victorian homes. The Castro, a historic LGBTQ hub, is still central to the community. The Mission district represents Latin and Hispanic culture, while SoMa has transformed due to the tech industry's presence, leading to a vibrant scene of bars, boutiques, and cafes.

Golden Gate Park, larger than Central Park in New York, is a beloved urban oasis, combining natural beauty with cultural attractions like the California Academy of Sciences and the de Young Museum. Don't miss the Japanese Tea Garden, the Botanical Garden, or a bike ride to Ocean Beach.

San Francisco's allure has drawn people from around the world, creating a city where diverse cultures and ideas thrive. To truly appreciate its unique character, visit San Francisco and craft your own narrative of this remarkable city.

Kimberly Brown from Goway Travel made my trip to Australia & New Zealand a very memorable and remarkable experience. Every step and detail was fantastic and I will never forget the trip of a lifetime and it was because of the experience of Kimberly. If you are thinking about taking a trip to New Zealand and Australia, I highly recommend contacting Kimberly from Goway travel. David Klein

We had a blast and felt covered by GoAway throughout. This was our first time using a travel agent and Melissa and her team made it easy. I also appreciated the quick communication while on our trip. I only wish that we got our official itinerary and tickets sooner as we did not receive them until a week prior. But it is busy season so I understand. Courtney McCarthy

Our trip to Japan was great. All our Goway arrangements preformed like clockwork and the guides for the tours were wonderful. Unfortunately, Mt. Fuji was in total fog but at least the lunch was very good and so was the drum solo, also our tour guide kept our spirits up ( she was the best). Taryn picked hotels that were very convenient to the meeting point of our tours which was much appreciated and organized all aspects of our trip perfectly. So from our airport pickup to our last day in Tokyo everything ran very smoothly so we have used Goway before and will certainly use it again and reccommend Goway to others.JW
