Tony Bennett may have left his heart in San Francisco, but one of that city’s newest attractions takes its cue from another legendary crooner: Frank Sinatra, who famously sang “Come Fly With Me.”
The Flyer – San Francisco, which opened in January at Pier 39, takes visitors on a simulated aerial tour of the City by the Bay by placing them in what’s known as a flying theater. For tourists seeking a San Francisco experience, the ride offers a concise overview – both figuratively and literally – of many area highlights. It’s a unique and entertaining way to explore places like Coit Tower on Telegraph Hill, the Castro and Alcatraz while also enjoying some mild thrills.
