San Francisco is a small city located on the western coast of the United States. Settled over two hundred years back, San Francisco has long been a lure for travelers. This picturesque city is strung flanked by high hills and valleys. San Francisco offers guests the chance to explore the many varied aspects of the world at California Academy of the Sciences, catch a comedic performance Comedy on the Square or just walk down Lombard Street, possibly the curviest avenue ever created. 1. Comedy on the Square. The chief purpose of Comedy on the Square is to make people laugh as loudly and as often as possible. Comedy on the Square is also home to the area's longest-running live magic show. The brainchild of modern-day vaudeville performer Fred Anderson, Comedy on the Square showcases both local and international talent. Anderson focuses on family-friendly amusement with a gentle touch. A performance may include interludes of clowns or burlesque dancers. 2. Lombard Street. Said to be the world's most crooked street, Lombard Street is a sloping hill that falls twelve blocks and runs about one-fourth of a mile. The street is noted for having eight separate turns, filled in with flower beds. The curves were intended to slow down traffic along a street that has a 27 percent grade. Traffic is one-way and the car speed limit is a mere five miles per hour. The street is part of the Russian Hill neighborhood and lined with expensive mansions, condos and townhouses. 3. The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art aims to help visitors understand contemporary art trends and ideas. Travelers can view murals made of children's games and puzzles, learn how to create their own art from thrift stores and see large scale art installations at the museum's rooftop garden. See its astonishing beauty and that can only be found in San Francisco.
