I think this says more about the readers of Conde Nast Traveler than anything else...

The airport is great.

Otherwise, nah. Environs around SF? Woods, beach, fish, mountains—OK.

I've always felt welcome in my visits to SF.
A couple years ago I attended a downtown convention (hotel was $350/night on special rate) and found the chow was great.
At mid day, several of us left the hotel to walk over to our event but were redirected by a guy down the street playing bongo drums.
That was fun.

LOL. My son (17) and I were just talking about SF this evening. He attended WYD in Sydney Australia last year. They had to fly out of SF area from the east coast and had a 6 hour layover there. He was absolutely astounded at the place. He was telling me there are no real people that he saw in SF. Everything was bizarre and completely out of the realm of normalcy. It made quite an impression. He said the only place that he encountered any normal people was at his lunch stop at the warf. I thought it was a bit of an eyeopener for him, especially being there with a priest, a nun, and a group of young folks getting ready to attend WYD.

Ya gotta be kidding me. I work in this armpit of a city. Nothing to see here except for maybe Alcatraz and Angel Island.

I vote for Honolulu #1, for the beaches, and Washington DC #2, for the museums/monuments/nearby battlefields/etc.

Those are my favorite American cities to visit.

Really SF is a picturesque city in architecture and geography. Too bad the liberals have desecrated this attractive city. A walk across the Golden Gate Bridge or views from Sausalito are beautiful views of the city.

San Francisco is NOT a fun city to drive in...that must not have been part of the equation.

I live in the suburbs of SF....about 40 min away by BART (train). We go in about once every two years and that’s when company makes us go in. It’s a sewer and it isn’t very safe.

Tourism dollars are way down since Newsom has run the city further in to the sewer. They probably paid for this endoresment to generate some tax bucks. What is city/state sales tax there now 10%?

I must admit, San Francisco is a neat town. But with their anti-America attitudes, I won’t take any trips there and give any money to their economy.

Having to been to all five cities numerous times, I would say the readers got it right, although I would switch Charleston to #1 and SF to #2.

When I was a kid we lived in Alameda for a few years. Back then San Francisco was a wonderful placed. Lots of wonderful places and smells. The Boudin Bakery, Ghirardelli Chocolate China town had candy that you could eat the wrapers lots of cheep toys and fire crackers. Now the city smell like raw sewage. If is bad for us just think what it is like for a dog with there noses.

My last visit was in 1983. It was great, loved it as did Mrs. jimfree. It was one of my favorite cities, but not now. I need a bit more persuasion.

SF would be a great city to visit if there were no San Franciscans there.

The Presidio, the Golden Gate, the hills, the aquarium, it’s a wonderful city, except for the people.

I spent a few years in the Bay Area and loved it...again, except for the people!
