San Francisco is not a cheap place to live at all, but is on my Ten Cities I'd live for a Year List because I'm into the lifestyle, the atmosphere, a place for artists to express themselves, multicultural, the diversity: beach, bay, wildness and city. You probably need a well paid salary to afford to live in this city but it's so worth it!
For travelers who will spend a long time in San Francisco and want to be part of the city instead of spending 2 weeks visiting touristic spots, this post is for you :) Also for those people who just moved to San Francisco and is a little broke or don't know what to do, this post is for you! Actually this post is for anyone who wants to go to San Francisco or just fancy the city. Ready to write some notes?
Free Walking Tours
Besides exploring the city by yourself, I think free walking tours are the best way of learning about a place. You will have a volunteer guide who will show you the city history, lore and legends in a fun way.. These guides try to turn a tour that usually is boring into something nice to learn with jokes between.
* Tours are free but a donation is welcome
* Read more information in San Francisco City Guides or if you prefer walking in the Nature check outWild SF Walking Tours
