San
Francisco is a city of hills and distinct neighborhoods. As a general
rule, geographical elevation means wealth - the higher up you are,
the less fog you endure, resulting in better views. Commercial square-footage
is surprisingly small and mostly confined to the downtown area, and
the rest of the city is made up of primarily residential neighborhoods
with street-level shopping districts, easily explored on foot. Armed
with a good map and strong legs, you could plough through much of
the city in a day, but the best way to get to know San Francisco
is to dawdle. Hostels in San Francisco
