Also worth seeing within a 100 km radius of the city:
San Francisco Bay
Unique in its kind, the Bay Area is home to numerous tourist attractions. Beyond the various panoramas, the Golden Gate Bridge, and the city of San Francisco itself, several small towns (Sausalito, Tiburon...), as well as places like Napa Valley or Point Reyes, are worth discovering.

Fort Ross
On the coast, 80 km north of San Francisco, these are the remains of a Russian fort from 1812 that marked the southernmost point of what was then called "Russian America." You can also stroll along the nearby beaches and occasionally spot whales or sea lions.

Napa Valley
This county is world-renowned for its vineyards, which date back to the late 19th century with the arrival of Italian immigrants in the region. Wine tastings and discovery tours for oenology enthusiasts.

Sonoma Valley
North of San Francisco, this county is known for its vineyards, though they are less famous (and touristy) than those in the neighboring Napa Valley.
