Offering something different to what people may find on a holiday to New York or LA, the City by the Bay is perfect for an off-the-wall look at the US. As well as this, staying in a hostel in San Francisco can help to keep the cost down, giving holidaymakers plenty of cash left over to enjoy the sights of the city. While there is plenty to keep them occupied in the City by the Bay, visitors who prefer a slower pace could find the best way to spend a day is riding on the city's famous tram system, which can take them past beautiful Victorian homes and heritage parts of the metropolis. Things to see, things to do The first landmark to spring to mind when San Francisco is mentioned is usually the world-famous Golden Gate Bridge - and at almost two miles long, it is little wonder. Constructed back in 1937, the bridge is nearly 8,900 feet long and takes traffic across to the other side of the San Francisco bay in six massive lanes. At one time the longest suspension bridge in the world, the Golden Gate is an absolute must-see on any trip to the city. People can walk across the entire length of the bridge and enjoy the view from the vista points at each end. When jetting off to the US and staying in a hostel in San Francisco, another sight not to be missed is Alcatraz island - or the Rock - home to the famous prison which once held infamous gangster Al Capone. Millions flock to the island each year and while it is no longer a working prison, it is a spine-chilling place to visit and an interesting part of the city's history.
