Found on the coast of California on the western side of the US, San Francisco is one of the most popular vacation destinations in America, popular with travelers in search of boundless creativity, endless innovation and unique charm. It’s often said that visiting this city is like visiting the entire world, so if you’re lucky enough to snap up some cheap flights to San Francisco, they could be an even better deal that you first thought!
Like much of California, San Francisco enjoys a cool-summer Mediterranean climate, characterized by mild winters with high rainfall and cool summers with very little rainfall. The city is surrounded by water on three sides, which means its climate is greatly affected by the Pacific Ocean, resulting in overall mild temperatures with hardly any variation between seasons at all. Because of this, there isn’t really a bad season to visit the city, weather-wise, so if you spot some low-cost flights to San Francisco at any time of year, they’re definitely worth snapping up.
Whether you’re into history, art, culture, food or none of the above, you’ll never be bored in San Francisco. Some of the city’s top attractions include spectacular Marin Headlands, the family-friendly Marrakesh Magic Theatre, the iconic Golden Gate Bridge and the historical Alcatraz – but that’s not all there is to see. The AT&T Park where numerous ball games are held, the hilarious Beach Blanket Babylon show, the breathtaking hiking trails at Lands End and the exhibition-packed Legion of Honor are all worthy of a visit during your stay in the city.
When it comes to nightlife in San Francisco, there’s something for everyone. If you manage to get some low-cost flights to San Francisco at the beginning of the month, make sure you pop along to After Dark, held on the first Thursday of every month at the Exploratorium. But if a theatre-cabaret-gallery isn’t really your scene, there are plenty of pubs, cocktail bars, wine lounges, family-friendly venues and nightclubs available throughout the city, too.
