National Geographic has named its 25 Most Breathtaking Places in 2023 and one exceptional California city has made the winner’s list — San Francisco.
The 25 cities were grouped into five categories — Family, Adventure, Culture, Nature, and Community. Each category rounded up locales that ignite the spirit of travel while focusing on a specific interest.
Nestled along the Northern California coastline, San Francisco was named one of the best cities in the world for family travel.
The City by the Bay was joined by four other locations in the Family category including:
- Switzerland
- Colombia
- Manchester, United Kingdom
- Trinidad and Tobago
Family members of all ages can enjoy San Francisco’s well-paved trails, perfect for hiking or biking. For unique architectural views, easily access stunning Golden Gate Bridge views through the historic Presidio Park.
