there’s a place for everyone in san francisco, · pdf filetaqueria el farolito 4817...

Theres a place for everyone in San Francisco, no matter if youre local or just in town for a visit. This is a city of unique neighborhoods (even micro-hoods) and colorful contrasts. Were home to innovators and athletes, bohemians and foodies, activists, do-gooders, and a fog so famous it has a name (hello, Karl). Youre always free to be yourself and youll never be bored. Whether youre into local produce or burritos, graffiti or go-go dancing, getting lost on a hike or amongst the shelves in an old Beat hangout, feeling like a local here takes nothing more than an open mind and a healthy dose of curiosity.
Airbnb reached out to our eclectic San Francisco host community and compiled a list of their neighborhood favorites. Illustrated by Agnes Lee, The Local List will guide you through muraled alleys and reclusive vistas, from the Embarcadero to Lands End and back.
For even more ideas for things to do, visit sanfrancisco.travel or go to the Visitor Information Center at 900 Market Street.
