USA: San Francisco, CA

San Francisco is the cultural, commercial, and financial center of Northern California and the only consolidated city-county in California. It has a density of about 18,187 people per square mile (7,022 people per km2), making it the most densely settled large city (population greater than 200,000) in the state of California and the second-most densely populated major city in the United States after New York City. San Francisco is a popular tourist destination, known for its cool summers, fog (nickname: "Fog City), steep rolling hills, eclectic mix of architecture, and landmarks including the Golden Gate Bridge, cable cars, the former Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary.
