Cable Cars in San Francisco, California

The excitable rings and muted rumble echoing down the street can only mean that a cable care is rolling past. San Francisco, is often noted for being vaguely similar to Lisbon, another favorite city of ours. Since the late 19th century, these one cart cable cars have been rolling up and down the steep hiIls of the Bay area. Hop onboard and sit inside the wooden cabin or surf along outside. Hold on tight, because the hills are not forgiving. The ride provides panoramic views of the city's landscapes.
