Cool city with a warm heart
Article Abstract:
San Francisco, California, has much to offer the tourist, but the cold winds can be a problem and accommodation in the city is expensive. The tourist will find it easy to explore the city on foot, but a three-day tourist pass offers unlimited travel on the cable cars, buses and underground plus other discounts. Tourists should not miss an excursion to the former prison on the island of Alcatraz. Other tourist attractions include boat trips around the bay and shopping at Fisherman's Wharf. A visit to the surrounding wine regions offers a break from the winds.

Magical mountain city still exerts fascination
Article Abstract:
Kathmandu has now become a key tourist destination, but its exotic temples and colourful markets still give a strong sense of its mystical past. It has a rich mix of different cultures, and has fascinating narrow streets and alleys away from the main tourist sites. The 200-year-old Annapurna Temple is particularly worth visiting.
