The headquarters of Apple in Cupertino, a single ring shaped building around a wooded park, which staff began moving into in 2017. The campus itself is closed to the public, but its visitor centre across the road has a rooftop terrace and a model of the whole site.
Pier 39 101 km
A pier on the San Francisco waterfront turned into shops, restaurants, street performers and a two storey carousel, with the Aquarium of the Bay alongside. Its real draw is the California sea lions that haul out in noisy heaps on the floating docks of its marina.
Fisherman's Wharf 101 km
The old fishing port on San Francisco's northern waterfront, where seafood stands, sourdough bakeries and souvenir shops have taken over from most of the fishing boats. Crab still steams at the pavement stalls, and the Aquatic Park historic district sits at its western end.
Alcatraz Island 101 km
A small rocky island in San Francisco Bay that has held a lighthouse, a military fort and, from 1934 to 1963, a federal prison thought nearly impossible to escape because of the cold water and strong currents. Ferries now carry visitors out to walk its old cellhouse.
Lombard Street 101 km
One steep block of a long San Francisco street, on Russian Hill, that twists through eight hairpin bends between flowerbeds. Billed as the crookedest street in the world, it draws a steady stream of cars inching down and people photographing them from the bottom.

A row of Victorian houses facing Alamo Square, painted in three or more colours to pick out their carved trim. The name for San Francisco's brightly repainted Victorians dates from 1978, and this row, with the downtown skyline behind it, is the one on the postcards.
