First visit to Sanfrancisco and need advice? |
Travel Info Have no idea where to stay or what to do. Want to be close to cable cars and major attractions Travel Tips Stay in Fisherman's Wharf area if you want it lively. Powell St. Cable car leaves from there too. Go across G.G Bridge to Marin Headlands for great photo ops of Bridge with City behind it.... Take Ferry from S.F to Angel Island or Tibouron. Eat at Guyamas in Tibouron for fun views. Boat stops right at restaurant and passes by Alcatraz so you get photos without having to tour the prison. Yawn. Go to Cliff House Bistro for Brunch and enjoy hot popovers while you watch the ocean waves crash. Go up to the Carnelian room for the view of the city. Wander through Golden Gate Park start at the De Young museum Shop in Union Square if you want busy environment and big stores. Eat at Cortez or Colibri. Or try Max's for big portions. Shop Union Street if you want boutiques....have a snack/cocktail there at Betelnut. Fillmore St @ California another option.. Eat at Fresca. Shop Haight St. if you want funk and atmosphere. Try Cha Cha's for snacks. Spend part of a day at the Ferry Building. Saturday is good as it is Fun Farmer's market. Nice views of Bay Bridge and Financial District. Can take the light rail train to see ATT park (home of the Giants), or just walk there along Embarcadero. Presidio is beautiful. For awesome views of bridge/bay go to Fort Point/Chrissy Field area @ Marina and Presidio. Stroll along the Marina there and don't miss photo ops of the Palace of Fine Arts. Drive through Seacliff if you have chance and stop at the California Palace of the Legion of Honor (museum). Lincoln Drive. Others People watching and shopping at Pier 39 (where you can also sea-lion watch) and Fisherman's Wharf. Lunch at an Italian restaurant in North Beach, walk across the Golden Gate Bridge, snarff all the little shops in Chinatown. Take a trip to the top of the Bank of America building. Visit Coit Tower. Wander Golden Gate Park. Go to the Zoo. Check out what's playing at the Curran or the Orpheum, or the Bill Graham. Have dinner at the Equinox at the Hyatt Embarcadero, really cool because the entire restaurant rotates while you eat. There's sooo much to do - but keep in mind that some things take planning. You have to buy tickets in advance to go to Alcatraz, some of the more popular restaurants take reservations weeks in advance, and some shows sell out fast. Get a 'Let's Go' book on The City by the Bay. The cable cars are a wonderful thing to see and rided, the bay is touristy but nice--take good walking shoes with you and have fun. pier 39 and alcatraz go to chinatown :) golden gate park, go to site seeing like golden gate bridge go downtown theres many places in san francisco i live there ever since i was born which im 16 now and i know a lot haha San Francisco is only 7 square miles by 7 square miles so you're never too far away from anything. And the public transportation is great |
