San Francisco | Reviews: Enjoyable San Francisco Tourist Experience, My wife and I had 3 great days in San Francisco in November 2022. We stayed at the Grand Hyatt at Union Square. Beautiful, modern hotel. Would definitely recommend that hotel. We also took a small group half-day tour of the city which was very enjoyable. There were 5 of us in the tour in a Lincoln Navigator. Two of them were from England. Our tour guide was so informative and drove us to areas that big tour buses could not get to. He gave us lots of photo stops as well as restaurant recommendations which were excellent. San Francisco is still a beautiful city, San Francisco is still a beautiful city by the bay. Don't believe what the media says. Enjoy a weekend at the Orchard Hotel on Bush Street, a very central location. Close to Union Square, Nob Hill, China Town, North Beach, Embarcadero and Ferry Building. Great Jazz at numerous hotspots, great restaurants, SFMOMA is wonderful and you can walk all over the city. Walked 9 miles in one day and didn't even realize it. Golden Gate Park is also a must. Enjoy your visit. Where Fun Starts, It’s a must see place in downtown San Francisco. This is where sightseeing, shopping begins. It’s big open area where you can enjoy the soaking of sunshine, watch people come and go or just grab a cup coffee sit down and relax. It’s has biggest and bests department stores like Macy, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, flagship Bloomington in the near by Westfield San Francisco Center, 9 stories with 200 shops. Great for shopping. It’s buzzing & centrally located near Chinatown, Yerba Buena Garden, SFMOMA, Theaters and where 2 lines of Cable Cars begins (Powell Mason & Powell Hyde lines) just around the corners. On the corner of 4th Ave and Market, you will hear great street band playing. Union square is also a transit hub, where you can catch Bart, MUNi, street car and cable cars all within 2 blocks. If you are planning to visit San Francisco, make Union Square your first destination this is where fun begins

San Francisco | Reviews: Essential Tourist Experience When Visiting San Francisco, The Embarcadero is both the street and the area of downtown that runs along the harbor from Fisherman's Wharf to the Ferry Building. It makes for a nice walk with many scenic views of the Bay, Alcatraz Island and the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge. Alternatively, you can ride on the historic street cars that travel along the road. From here you can catch a tour of Alcatraz or catch a ferry over to quaint Sausalito. There are a number of restaurants along here offering tables with views of the water. There is also the science museum, Exploratorium, an Aquarium at Pier 39 or you can hike up to nearby Coit Tower for some amazing views of the city. Don't miss it., Don't just cross it, visit it. As a tourist/visitor in San Francisco, you will most likely pass or cross this street. Whether visiting the Piers, bars, restaurants, Alcatraz or any of the other many attractions around, I recommend you take a pause and appreciate the crowded beautiful bustling of this street during the day/early evening. Tip: Mind your belongings, as tourist crowds can hide pick pockets., Traveled solo One of my favorite walks in the City. , The Embarcadero is one of the best walks in the City. It has a beautiful bay view over its miles of sidewalks. There is an abundance of restaurants and shops along the wide walkway. The Ferry Building, Pier 39, Fisherman’s Wharf, and ferry rides to Alcatraz are just a few of the wonderful stops/possibilities along the way.
The avenue will entertain with street performers in the Fisherman’s Wharf area and Pier 39 area.
There are benches and piers to take in the beauty of the bay and San Francisco sky line. It is one of the best places to to see why San Francisco is one of the most interesting and beautiful cities in the world.
Starting at the Bay bridge and continuing all the way to the Golden Gate Bridge is a long and amazing walk. It will offer picturesque places to see and experience.
The parking about three-four hundred meters before the bay bridge on the right - large pier over the water offers all day parking for only $10 on the weekends.
The Ferry building is a yummy place to buy items for a picnic! It also has a very good farmer’s market on Saturdays.
The street is relatively very safe and I stroll down it, in the day time and night time. Good for families and it also offers great attractions for the kids!

San Francisco | Reviews: Interesting Visit - $20 / head., Located on Pier 45 just in front of the Jeremiah O’Brien is the USS Pampanito WWII submarine. The Pampanito made 6 patrols during WW II and did sink 6 and damage 4 Japanese Imperial ships. The sub is quite cramped but allows you to see how things were on a sub during the war. Admission is $20 and comes with an audio guide. You can save $1 per person by purchasing your tickets online. If you listen to the full audio guide your tour will take around an hour. The Pampanito story is quite interesting and worth a visit. Down Periscope!, This tour I did by myself and it was absolutely amazing.
This is the Submarine that was used in the movie Down Periscope and I love that movie.
What I couldn't believe was how small this boat actually was.
You get an mp3 player when you start so you can listen to actual sailors talk during the tour. It is truly amazing what this Sub did during the war, you see the map in the Control Room of where the Pampanito toured during the war. The information provided during the tour is so incredibly interesting and well worth the price of admission to keep this alive.
The only thing that I wish you could do was visit the conning tower but it is blocked off.
Truly excellent tour. Would highly recommend to anyone who is an old Military Buff and wants to see a true piece of history.
4 out of 5, Traveled solo Fun for kids and adults, Great submarine to tour. Download the audio tour before you go in - you lose cell signal once you go below into the sub - and it's hard to go back out to download it when you're chasing 5 and 6 year old boys! They loved seeing all the buttons and how it's different than a battleship (toured in LA the same week). Would do again. | https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g60713-d104530-Reviews-USS_Pampanito-San_Francisco_California.html | 4.5 | USS Pampanito | categories: Military Museums Speciality Museums Ships | Description: World War II submarine docked at Pier 45. | USS Pampanito ; categories: Military Museums Speciality Museums Ships ; Description: World War II submarine docked at Pier 45. ; Reviews: Interesting Visit - $20 / head., Located on Pier 45 just in front of the Jeremiah O’Brien is the USS Pampanito WWII submarine.

San Francisco | Reviews: Amazing Sunset View, It’s breath taking. The tallest tile steps (170 steps plus) in San Francisco and these steps will lead you to the grand view park where you can see amazing sunset. This is a must see. You get two points with one trip. And third one the the hidden garden title steps which is just 2 blocks north. If you see fish tiles you would have found the right place. You start out either beautiful tropical garden. Once you get to the top the sunset and ocean beach view is amazing. A lots of tourist come here. And it’s in midst of a very affluent neighborhood. Make sure you come here on a sunny day, Try to come here one hour beige sunset and plan to hike up all the way to grand view park. Wear Sneakers so it’s easier on your feet. The views are truly amazing and it’s worth it.
Take Muni bus 28 or N-Juda Train to get here., Traveled solo Just beautiful, The steps are steep but lovely. The wonderful thing is that as you climb the steps, higher portions of the mosaic come into focus, and each section is a new treat. A distant picture just can't do the artwork justice.
At the top, turn around and look down to a gorgeous urban view over the bay. Then proceed across the street to your right and up the stairs (not nearly so impressive, just stairs) to Grandview Park. Fun Visit - Good Exercise!, After visiting the Hidden Garden Steps and the 15th Avenue Steps, we decided to visit the 16th Avenue Steps. The bottom of the 16th Avenue Steps is located at Moraga Street and 16th Avenue. The top of the steps is located on 15th Avenue close to Noriega and Aloha Streets.
These steps are decorated with tile in a mosaic pattern and are very colorful. Also, the views of the Sunset District and Ocean Beach are fantastic here. The 16th Avenue Steps are longer than the nearby Hidden Garden Steps and similar in size to the nearby 15th Avenue steps. Lots of steps today but worth a visit for sure. | https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g60713-d3440316-Reviews-16_Avenue_Tiled_Steps-San_Francisco_California.html | 4.5 | 16 Avenue Tiled Steps | categories: Points of Interest & Landmarks | Description: 16th AVENUE TILED STEPS IS LOCATED IN A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD Public Transportation Greatly Encouraged REMOVE VALUABLES from Car - DAYTIME CAR BURGLARS !!!

San Francisco | Reviews: Great ship!, So we spent so long on this ship that the little old man in charge greeted us when we got off to ask if we enjoyed it - saying most people don't stay so long. Well, let me tell you, we have seen/toured a LOT of ships. This one was probably THE best one ever. Between being allowed to go into the engine room and being able to control and turn the guns on the front, there was so much more of this ship accessible than most ship museums. We LOVED it. The little guys we met there were very friendly and nice. Glad we have this piece of history and a Liberty Ship to see. A Visit to the Liberty Ship, Close to Fisherman Wharf you may take out time to visit the Liberty Ship. This is one of the 2 ships left in the world.
There is a History museum also which is free and you can enjoy some games starting from 25 Cents. The volunteers were testing the engines the day we visited !, My grown son and I are so glad we toured this historic gem! A team of volunteers happened to be living on the ship that week. They were testing all the functional systems, especially the engine room. There is a museum in the middle of the ship that displayed fascinating artifacts and told stories of some of the ship's war-time adventures. | https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g60713-d104529-Reviews-SS_Jeremiah_O_Brien-San_Francisco_California.html | 4.5 | SS Jeremiah O'Brien | categories: Speciality Museums Historic Sites Ships | Description: Historic World War II ship docked at Pier 35, The Embarcadero in San Francisco.

San Francisco | Reviews: An out of this world personal, whimsical experience!, I recently visited the Gregangelo Museum for their opening night of Metamorphosis and they did not disappoint!! I've visited a few times this past year since they modified to outdoor tours. I went at night, last tour of the evening and I felt like I was transported to another dimension- the lighting, costuming, works of art and attention to detail is indescribable; truly an our of this world experience. The performers are absolutely delightful, the riddles and poems they perform are highly entertaining and whimsical. I will be visiting again as soon as possible. My partner and I felt like we had a VIP up close and personal experience (where else do you get to have your own aerial performance 25 feet in front of you!?) If you've been thinking about going- think no more!! Just do it! I also highly recommend bringing school age and older children- it has a very Alice in Wonderland vibe that many ages will enjoy.,
I would love to see you back here 100 times! I am so glad that you enjoyed the experience and took the time to share this heartfelt message. We've developed a new indoor captivating experience, A Quickie! , Written , November 20, 2021, This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC., Traveled as a couple So Much Stimulation!, For about 30 mins you can completely forget about your regular time and space and just get lost in Gregangelo's creation of Metamorphosis. It is highly interactive (but at a safe distance) and you are often left thinking deeply about yourself. You will be guided and asked questions by some incredibly talented people who will more often than not break into rhyme or dance. On top of that, the experience is itself very visually stimulating. In a space like this it is perfectly acceptable to look up and all around you because there is just so much detail in every little corner. The visuals alone are a fresh wake up to the senses. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who just wants a break in their day - or have little ones that are getting antsy at home. This will be the perfect respite., Thank you for the kind words
You have no idea what this review means to artists who truly dedicate their lives to serving wonderment to a troubled world, Written , November 20, 2021, This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC. A Magical Must-See, I attended the Metamorphosis experience and was truly transported! this 20-30 min excursion around the outside of the museum was lively with immaculately dressed and talented performers, engaging questions to draw you in to the experience and beautiful storytelling. I also liked that they have safety in mind and only do tours with your quaranteam (all masks all the time) and don't pair you with other groups. I've been to many of their outdoor experiences and i'm amazed at how they continue to transform their space to make new and magical adventures., Thank you for taking the time to post such an eloquent insight. YOU are a gem and we look forward to guiding the journey with you again....!

Come explore through six (out of thirty-three) fascinating installations inside the private home of local San Francisco artist and entertainer, Gregangelo. ; Reviews: An out of this world personal, whimsical experience!, I recently visited the Gregangelo Museum for their opening night of Metamorphosis and they did not disappoint!! I've visited a few times this past year since they modified to outdoor tours. I went at night, last tour of the evening and I felt like I was transported to another dimension- the lighting, costuming, works of art and attention to detail is indescribable; truly an our of this world experience. The performers are absolutely delightful, the riddles and poems they perform are highly entertaining and whimsical. I will be visiting again as soon as possible. My partner and I felt like we had a VIP up close and personal experience (where else do you get to have your own aerial performance 25 feet in front of you!?) If you've been thinking about going- think no more!! Just do it! I also highly recommend bringing school age and older children- it has a very Alice in Wonderland vibe that many ages will enjoy.,
I would love to see you back here 100 times! I am so glad that you enjoyed the experience and took the time to share this heartfelt message. We've developed a new indoor captivating experience, A Quickie! , Written , November 20, 2021, This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC., Traveled as a couple So Much Stimulation!, For about 30 mins you can completely forget about your regular time and space and just get lost in Gregangelo's creation of Metamorphosis. It is highly interactive (but at a safe distance) and you are often left thinking deeply about yourself. You will be guided and asked questions by some incredibly talented people who will more often than not break into rhyme or dance. On top of that, the experience is itself very visually stimulating. In a space like this it is perfectly acceptable to look up and all around you because there is just so much detail in every little corner. The visuals alone are a fresh wake up to the senses. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who just wants a break in their day - or have little ones that are getting antsy at home. This will be the perfect respite., Thank you for the kind words
You have no idea what this review means to artists who truly dedicate their lives to serving wonderment to a troubled world, Written , November 20, 2021, This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC. A Magical Must-See, I attended the Metamorphosis experience and was truly transported! this 20-30 min excursion around the outside of the museum was lively with immaculately dressed and talented performers, engaging questions to draw you in to the experience and beautiful storytelling. I also liked that they have safety in mind and only do tours with your quaranteam (all masks all the time) and don't pair you with other groups. I've been to many of their outdoor experiences and i'm amazed at how they continue to transform their space to make new and magical adventures., Thank you for taking the time to post such an eloquent insight. YOU are a gem and we look forward to guiding the journey with you again....! We have new indoor experience, called a Quickie. , Written , November 20, 2021, This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC. | [

San Francisco | Reviews: A Treat of the City!, The Ferry Building is an occasional Saturday morning hangout for us and it is always a fun social experience. An incredibily diverse collection of locals and visitors enjoying an eclectic array of vendors; from the restaurants and shops inside to the dozens of booths outside offering incredible and often hard-to-find produce as well as local bakeries and meat/fish and dairies. You can park nearby or arrive from Vallejo or Oakland via ferry. Visiting the marketplace on a Saturday morning affords you a great sense of the early pulse of the city. Ferry Building Farmer's Market a great tourist destination., Wonderful place to visit even if you're on vacation and aren't buying fresh produce. If you are in San Francisco on a Saturday, consider a visit to the Ferry Building. As you approach from Market Street you will find artisans selling their handicrafts, a great place to buy a souvenir. The Farmer's Market itself has all kind of food vendors. All of them serve fantastic food. I particularly like the raw oysters. Find a place to sit and enjoy the view of the bay under the Bay Bridge. Afterward consider a ferry ride to Sausalito or a walk down the embarcadero to Fisherman's Wharf. If you are feeling energetic you can walk all the way to the Civil War Fort under the Golden Gate Bridge. Cool local products, Great place to visit. On the inside, there are some restaurants and more high end stores selling local goods. On the outside, a farmer's market with all local products and good food as well. The building itself is quite interesting too. Definitely recommended. | https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g60713-d282299-Reviews-Ferry_Plaza_Farmer_s_Market-San_Francisco_California.html | 4.5 | Ferry Plaza Farmer's Market | categories: Flea & Street Markets | Description: A nonprofit group devoted to sustainable agriculture runs this market 4 days a week. | Ferry Plaza Farmer's Market ; categories: Flea & Street Markets ; Description: A nonprofit group devoted to sustainable agriculture runs this market 4 days a week. ; Reviews: A Treat of the City!, The Ferry Building is an occasional Saturday morning hangout for us and it is always a fun social experience.

San Francisco | Reviews: Go with a 60's Attitude to Enjoy, Something tells me you need to have been alive during the 60's to appreciate this area, and you need to share your memories with the younger generation. This was our experience. Two of us were young adults during the 60's, and our stories helped our 18 and 19 year old kids to understand and put into context what they were seeing. Despite the rather tacky nature of the shops, it is a place steeped in history, if you care enough to find it. This should never be a place for a high-brow experience, the characters who frequented the streets were there partly in protest to that kind of lifestyle. Embrace it for what it is, and get a free Welcome Guide which will point you in the direction of houses and haunts of the late and great. If the stores bother you, check out the wonderful homes on the side streets, and use your guide to see who once lived there. Or check out some of the murals, with personal images and signatures of some famous folks. The vintage clothing store is superb. To me many items looked like performers' costumes. You can also pick up some great little 60's stuff which our kids really liked. Bottom line, it is an experience if you go with the correct mindset. We parked easily, and had no problems with that. A few homeless here, but they were only sleeping, and did not bother us. Walked to GG Park. Original Home of the Flower People, The Haight Ashbury's claim to fame in this day and age is that it was the most popular hang out of the Hippies and the original Flower People back in the '60s and '70s. There are many eateries, souvenir shops, and memorabilia of different kinds on sale. You do bump into a few modern day Hippies. The wall murals are interesting depicting the music legends of those faraway days. It's worth the walk and you can spend an hour- or much more- depending on your level of interest. Too many overpriced vintage shops mixed in with drug dealers, I specifically went here to check out what i thought was a Goth clothing store but realized, it was yet another vintage clothing store. I felt rather uncomfortable in this area. Lots of loitering hippies (as expected i guess) openly dealing their goods while invading everyone's space. I also thought most stores were surprisingly expensive. I was happy to find a HUGE record store but, wasn't impressed with what they had.

San Francisco | Reviews: Run down, but still worth a brief visit, Rainbow colored sidewalks and crosswalks and....flags, all sizes flags.
Everywhere.
It is a nice district of San Francisco and has a special flavour.
This area and some of the surrounding areas was known by the term ‘Little Scandinavia’, because of the large number of the residents in the area originating from Finnish, Danish, Norwegian and Swedish ancestry.
Plenty of small cafes, restaurant, bars, some cosy and also some junkish and touristy shops.
Castro street is the center of this famous historic gay district.
There are also lots of straight people and kids here.
It has a lovely subway station.
On both sides of the street you might see some pretty Edwardian-style, coloured buildings like those called ‘Painted Ladies’, but less well kept and ‘manicured’.
We visited local restaurants in the area a couple of times.
We liked the Rainbow Honor Walk which features bronze, sidewalk plaques that honor Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgende personalities like Spanish poet Federico Garcia Lorca, Freddie Mercury, Keith Haring, American disco star Sylvester, Oscar Wilde, Virginia Wolf, America poet and writer James Baldwin, Tennessee Williams, Frida Khalo, Allen Ginsberg and many more.
The area is a little degraded, deteriorated and run down with many homeless people in the streets.
Still it is worth a brief visit.
Anyway, in our opinion, The Castro is much more interesting than the overrated touristic site “Painted Ladies”. At least it has some more historic and human meanings and feelings., Traveled with friends A Neighborhood with A Past, There are issues here, people on the streets and the chronic litter. But there is also lovely architecture off the main street and lots of history all around. Plus fun at the theater, the bars and the restaurants. Lots of people around. This is now an upscale neighborhood. Many shops, bars and places to eat, Being a gay male the Castro was very interesting. The area had many gay stores and we made several purchases. We waked around and saw many stores. We stopped a a bar and had a drink and talked with the bar tender about what was going on for New years. Had a very interesting time. | https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g60713-d183745-Reviews-The_Castro-San_Francisco_California.html | 4 | The Castro | categories: Neighborhoods | The Castro ; categories: Neighborhoods ; ; Reviews: Run down, but still worth a brief visit, Rainbow colored sidewalks and crosswalks and....flags, all sizes flags.

San Francisco | Reviews: Isabelle (France), Around the peaceful Alamo square, we were amazed by the wonderful Victorian houses! These well maintained dazzling houses have been built between 1849 and 1915on the steep slopes of the Alamo hill.
We learnt that these houses were initially painted in bright colors (red, yellow, chocolate, orange) to highlight their architectural details. Then, in 1963, artist Butch Kardum painted his Victorian house in intense blues and greens and was followed by other people. Finally, from 1970 to nowadays, Victorian houses are painted in very beautiful pastel colors. The Victorian houses are painted, , resultingin their famous name: "Painted Ladies"!
A MUST for all people visiting San Francisco!!! Am I Missing Something?, What exactly is the appeal of the Painted Ladies? They are a group of Victorian-style homes in a city filled with Victorian-style homes. There are plenty of other places around San Francisco to see non-official "painted ladies," including ones that look a little more spectacular than these apparently famous ones. I guess at the very least, they are in a nice neighborhood with a park across the street. A Gorgeous View, My parents and I stopped at the park that's across the street from the Painted Ladies and enjoyed a nice rest in the middle of the city. The park provides ample viewpoints of the famous Painted Ladies as the San Francisco skyline looms proudly in the background. This vista provides lovely photos of the city and the park provides lovely opportunities to take a moment for yourself.

San Francisco | Reviews: Jungle Fever, You can travel the botany globe within the walls of this historic building. It takes about 45 minutes out of your life and $10 out of your wallet but well worth the journey into this tropical paradise. This is an adventure for individuals or families. You will experience two different climates and many unusual plants, flowers and trees. They limit the amount of people so you won’t feel crowded., Traveled with friends Very unusual exotic plants & flowers, The first thing we appreciated about this conservatory was its warmth. After walking around in foggy mist for most of the morning we needed a warm-up. But after that it was all plants and flowers - most of which were exotics. Several I have never seen before, and I have been in more than one conservatory! Lots to see in a very relaxed venue. Not exactly a place that would be comfortable for wheelchairs or perhaps people with mobility issues, since walkways are really narrow and the buildings get crowded. It also may not be the best place for really active or adventurous kids, for the same reason. $10 fee to enter. Rest rooms are outside, so you do not need to pay to go into the conservatory just to use rest rooms. Located at the northeastern end of the Park. FYI: From this point to Ocean Beach, by walking straight through the park on JFK Drive is @ 3.5 miles. True hidden gem, Amazing place..a true delight with so much variety and unique indoor plants ..took about an hour to complete the tour. There is a small table with plants for sale towards the end (where indoor plants were kept). Dahlia garden outside the conservatory is not to be missed. Parking was available close by friday afternoon near tennis center on the side street.

San Francisco | Reviews: Interesting but not missing much, Look, you won’t be missing much but it is quite interesting!
The turn around table spins round to ensure the cable cars are facing the right way. Then they are pushed by hand off the turn table and to their stop. Its interesting to see, Traveled as a couple Iconic Feature of San Francisco, Cable Cars are an iconic feature of San Francisco and should be experienced if visiting San Francisco. So much fun to stand along the side platform as the cable car makes it way up and down the steep city streets. The Powell and Market Cable Car Turnaround located near busy Union Square is a great place to catch a ride. You can ride on the Powell/Hyde Line all the way to Fisherman's Wharf. $8 for a single ride but just $13 for an all day pass that includes not only the cable cars but also the historic street cars that travel along the Embarcadero.

The turn around table spins round to ensure the cable cars are facing the right way. Then they are pushed by hand off the turn table and to their stop. Its interesting to see, Traveled as a couple Iconic Feature of San Francisco, Cable Cars are an iconic feature of San Francisco and should be experienced if visiting San Francisco. So much fun to stand along the side platform as the cable car makes it way up and down the steep city streets. The Powell and Market Cable Car Turnaround located near busy Union Square is a great place to catch a ride. You can ride on the Powell/Hyde Line all the way to Fisherman's Wharf. $8 for a single ride but just $13 for an all day pass that includes not only the cable cars but also the historic street cars that travel along the Embarcadero.

San Francisco | Reviews: Fu Drive on Scenic 49 Mile Drive, San Francisco, We have driven Scenic 49 Mile Drive in San Francisco Numerous times. This time we enjoyed driving it again. There are various points of interest, scenic views, and of course lots of things to do. Best thing to do in San Francisco and its Free, http://www.sfvisitor.org/maps/html/49milemap.html
I am a local so maybe I have a different experience when I drive the 49 mile scenic route. My suggestion is if you are visiting San Francisco or you live here and have a car or have friend you can borrow a car from do this drive!
Okay yes, driving in San Francisco is a talent all its own and it technically starts you off in the worst part of the city to drive in but at least it gets easier. Driving in the city can also be an experience all its own, just give it a go.
Due to difficult, hard to find and expensive parking in downtown, chinatown and civic center I suggest you cruise through there and see the sights from the car window. If you spot something you want to spend more time at make a note of it and come back later. Chances are you are staying in the downtown area and can easily get back on foot or by bus.
Once you are out of the insane downtown area you can slow down take it easy a bit. Stop into Fort Mason Center (I work in the main office www.fortmason.org) and check out the free and cheap museums as well as the views of the golden gate bridge that start there and stretch down crissy field. Continue to the bridge and take some photos.
Keep following the coast then take a rest at the Palace of the Legion of Honor. THey have some fabulous art exhibits and every tuesday is free http://www.thinker.org/legion/index.asp.
Drop down to Ocean beach and pass the Sutro Baths and the Cliff House (or stop there for lunch if you want). I reccommend having lunch at the Beach or Park Chalet just at the bottom of the hill and the edge of Golden Gate Park. The Beach Chalet looks out over Ocean Beach (the tourist choice) but I think the better food is at Park Chalet wich is owned by the same people and is just downstairs (the locals choice). They are a brewery and the beer is quite good.
Next is the Great Highway which runs right along Ocean Beach. It is all very beautiful but keep in mind that there is no place to stop let alone park between Lincoln and Sloat ( about a 5 min. drive at a constant 30mph).
Nothing special about sunset blvd. But when you get back to the Park there is plenty to see. As long as it is not an event day (marathon, footrace, concert) parking isn't too difficult through most of the park. THe Japanese Tea Gardens are lovely and when the California Academy of Sciences returns to the park it will be amazing! (temporarly living at 4th and Folsom). The DeYoung Museum is set to reopen soon and that will be delightful too. The Conservatory of FLowers is a beautiful place and recently reopened.
At this point I think you should stray from the path and take a drive down Haight Street then back track to the original path.
On now to Twin Peaks where you can see the entire city. This is also a great place to go at night for a fantastic city lights view, just check the weather first. Driving the winding road in fog is scary and it can get very windy up there day and night.
Dolores Park has some lovely postcard scenery. The route takes you down Ceasar Chavez where, again, I think you should detour through the mission to check out the wonderful murals and atmosphere. THey also have the BEST burritos north of the border!
Last but not least after a short freeway time a drive by PacBell or rather SBC park. If you can make a trip back and do a walk from the park all the way to the Ferry Building along the Embarcadero. There peep holes to look inside the stadium, you can chatch a glimpse of a Giants game if it is game day.
Now back to the beginning.
Enjoy!
Fantastic Drive throughout SF proper, 49 Mile Drive is a wonderful meandering route throughout San Francisco, laid out in such a manner that you can just follow the signs (do pay attention though) and make random stops as you so desire. Think of this as your own personal "Hop-on-Hop-off" tour - except that you have the freedom to pick and choose. The only downside will be having to deal with parking along the way, vs being on a tour bus where you don't have to worry about this.
If you google this phrase ( "49-mile-scenic-drive-san-francisco.pdf" ) , it will produce a map that you can download and print, or save to your phone, as there are a few times upon the drive that staying on the route requires some focus :) | https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g60713-d526082-Reviews-Scenic_49_Mile_Drive-San_Francisco_California.html | 4.5 | Scenic 49 Mile Drive | categories: Scenic Drives | Scenic 49 Mile Drive ; categories: Scenic Drives ; ; Reviews: Fu Drive on Scenic 49 Mile Drive, San Francisco, We have driven Scenic 49 Mile Drive in San Francisco Numerous times.

San Francisco | Reviews: Take the train right to the beach, San Francisco is not a tropical city, and it's definitely not known for its beaches. Ocean Beach is lovely, though, and it's very easy to get to. Just take the N-Judah light rail all the way to the end of the line at "La Playa". Cross the street, and you're there. There are beautiful views of the Pacific, and you can watch surfers enjoying the waves. There is no charge to visit the beach, and a MUNI day pass to get there is only $5. It is a beautiful beach, and the ride to get there is nice too. Realize, though, that even in summer it's not all that warm in San Francisco. The sand is nice, but it's probably not a place you'll want to sunbathe. Beautiful non-swimming beach, I love the location of this beach. This beach is about 1 mile long along the Pacific Ocean. The Seal Rocks and Cliff House is on the north side of the beach. Towards south east you have the Golden Gate Park. This beach is also managed by Gold Gate Park & Recreation. This beach is a top beach for surfing but not for swimming due to dangerous rip current and big crashing waves and colder water temperature. Not only you get a great view of pacific ocean, you will get a closeup view of cliff house and seal rocks.
Today there were school field exercise day for middle schoolers and a number of two on two beach volleyball pickup games going on. Also plenty of dogs on the beach chasing the tennis ball. This beach has the best sunset, it’s almost 90 right angle position to the sun. So in a perfect clear day you will see sun sink its half into the Ocean.
During low tide you can walk the west end of Cliff House to the Sutro Bath. One important tip, if you are planning to walk to the other side; do wear a rubber shoe and sneaker. I need to climb some rough rocks to the Bath. Otherwise, you will be wearing a lots of sand into your shoes.
You can take N-Judah Train or Muni Bus 5, 7, 18, 38R to get here.
ruhungrytientien, Traveled solo Amazing Sandy Beach !, Ocean Beach is on west coast of San Francisco bordering the pacific ocean, adjacent to Golden Gate National Recreational area.
It is huge sandy beach ideal for sunny days. It is pleasant spending time on beach even in summer, as you don’t feel the heat in the awesome windy atmosphere.

San Francisco | Reviews: Barks, growls and grunts, We walked over to this area to see what all the noise was about. Well, the herd on the wharf rafts was massive. It was very entertaining to watch them jockeying for the best early evening spot, to dry off and take a nap. There was lots of noise as some were intimidating each other, some fell off the rafts, and some were simply playful. There were some babies who were being protected from the huge sea lions that were climbing over top of each other! Yikes. A great but smelly time. Glad we saw it up close. Fun to See the Sea Lions and Then Learn More about them at the Sea Lion Center, San Francisco, Its fun to see the sea lions at Pier 39.
On he 2nd floor of Pier 39 is the Sea Lion Center. It has exhibits and information regarding sea lions, There is also a skeleto of a sea lion to see. Too fun to see!, We had friends from CT visiting and wanted to see the sea lions here. They loved seeing the many of them who sun (even with fog & smoke from CA fires) have fun here.
You don't see many during June & July as that's when they leave the pier to breed.

San Francisco | Reviews: Don't miss the visitors center!, Visitors Center is a must see! Excellent displays and information regarding the maritime history that shaped the history of San Francisco. The exhibits are amazing. Across that street the pier and ships are neat to see but they were all closed during our visit. The maritime museum had great murals but very little else to see. So bottom line see the free visitors center, pay for the ship tours if open and skip the maritime museum or plan on a very short visit for the murals., Traveled as a couple A little gem, lovely to wander around the boats, We were on a road trip so bought our America the Beautiful National Parks Pass which is $80 and valid for a year. It meant that we could visit this and all the other National Parks on our trip and save a fortune in doing so. It was lovely to read the history of the boats and wander about without the crowds along the bay. A nice way to spend an hour or so. Great Park Much to see, There is so much to see. Start with the visitor's Center. It is not very big but gives a good overview. Then we went to the wharf and the ships. The latter had a $15 per person entry fee, but we got in free with our senior parks pass. Three ships were open for boarding: the ferry and the two sailing ships. Perhaps, the ferry with its antique cars and trucks inside was most interesting. The large tall ship was the most scenic. Separate from the wharf sights was the aquatic center building which was the attraction in itself. The walk to the end of the civic pier topped off a great expanse., Traveled as a couple | https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g60713-d104217-Reviews-San_Francisco_Maritime_National_Historical_Park-San_Francisco_California.html | 4.5 | San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park | categories: Speciality Museums National Parks Educational sites | Description: Visitors can take a workshop on boatbuilding, board a vessel docked at the Hyde Street Pier or tour the fine collections of maritime lore. | San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park ; categories: Speciality Museums National Parks Educational sites ; Description: Visitors can take a workshop on boatbuilding, board a vessel docked at the Hyde Street Pier or tour the fine collections of maritime lore. ; Reviews: Don't miss the visitors center!, Visitors Center is a must see!

San Francisco | Reviews: Wonderful Zoo experience, I'm vacationing from New Mexico, and we decided to experience the Zoo. What a wonderful experience. The scenery is amazing and we fell in love with the variety of plants and trees, it made the walk very peaceful. Not the biggest collection of animals, but their enclosures were really nice and gave a close up experience. I would recommend anyone who isn't from the area to experience this beautiful zoo., Traveled as a couple Wildlife oasis in the middle of San Francisco, A true wildlife oasis in the middle of San Francisco. From penguins to giraffes to koala bears to Komodo dragons, the San Fransisco Zoo has it all. And it's just a short ride away from downtown SF on the Muni.

Every year, new chicks are introduced to the penguin colony; some years during July-this year, August 6th. There are 5 chicks and I is named Hope (in Ukrainian) for our world to continue having HOPE for the unsettling Ukraine events.
This walk was particularly exciting because this is the first time I’ve seen the chicks swim and play with such enthusiasm after jumping into their habitat. There are certain simple pleasures that you never outgrow. It was particularly heartwarming to see very young families with their precious babies to the elderly come early to celebrate such special moments in time. | https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g60713-d127854-Reviews-San_Francisco_Zoo-San_Francisco_California.html | 4 | San Francisco Zoo | categories: Zoos | Description: Nestled against the Pacific Ocean, the San Francisco Zoo is an urban oasis.

What a wonderful experience. The scenery is amazing and we fell in love with the variety of plants and trees, it made the walk very peaceful. Not the biggest collection of animals, but their enclosures were really nice and gave a close up experience. I would recommend anyone who isn't from the area to experience this beautiful zoo., Traveled as a couple Wildlife oasis in the middle of San Francisco, A true wildlife oasis in the middle of San Francisco.

San Francisco | Reviews: A stellar evening, We were able to get tickets to a Mozart/Sibelius concert soon after the Louise M. Davies Symphony Hall reopened for live concerts. The house was packed and it was evident that everyone was so happy to be able to do this again. The concert venue is spectacular. First-timers, we arrived early and very friendly docents let us walk around the theater and enjoy the views of the concert hall, as well as the views outside on the small terraces that face City Hall. We saw Esa-Pekka Salonen conducting, which was like getting to see a celebrity. We had First Tier seats and the prices were very affordable. So very worthwhile! A World-Class Orchestra. San Francisco Symphony Delivered a Fantastic Performance., A world-class orchestra. We attended a performance on July 2, at Davies Symphony Hall--Edwin Outwater Conducts the San Francisco Symphony. It was fabulous! Dynamic conducting, excellent musicians, and the musical selections were wonderful! The highlight was the performance of Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue. Aaron Diehl was the pianist. His technique was stellar. Bravo!!, Bravo! I brought my loved one to the symphony, and we both loved it. Our seats were in the Loge. The view was wonderful and acoustics amazing.

San Francisco | Reviews: Iconic Kung Fu Wooden Log, Most Beautiful ocean view, ruin of old bath structures and crashing waves. This is one of best place for wedding, family photo shoots. I went there half dozen time. Recommend to head out there 2 hours prior to sunset. You can both day and night view. On the clear day, you can capture the sunset reflecting out the ocean water. And there is a wooden log near the basin where you can pretend you are doing Chinese Kung Fu against the wooden log. It’s pretty dramatic scenery. With a tunnel that you can go through the other opening and hearing the crashing waves echoing. Then you cake take the steps up to Sutro Bath overlook for amazing view. And it located north of Cliff House and right by Lands End Trail. This is a must see in San Francisco.
ruhungrytientien, Traveled solo A must see! Just Beautiful., A must see! Just Beautiful. Historical Landmark by the ocean with spectacular views. We were staying at the Grand Hyatt Union Square and did not have a car. Convenient to the bus line, its a straight cross town ride. Bring water, maybe a light jacket (it was windy) and comfortable walking shoes.
Note if you go to the Sutra Baths, you should make the time to hike some of the trails especially to the Lands End Labyrinth. A Nice Place to Visit., The Sutro Baths are actually the ruins of what once was one of the world’s largest indoor salt water bathing facilities. It was built in 1896 and closed in the 1960’s due to high maintenance and operating costs. The final demise was a fire that was supposedly caused by arson. The foundation is pretty much all that remains and is located in the outer Richmond District on the edge of the ocean. It is next to the Cliff House with Seal Rock and Lands’ End hiking trail being close by too. There are a couple of large parking lots close by but can get very crowded and full later in the day. Get there early and be prepared to walk stairs and trails to get to the main areas where the ruins are located.

San Francisco | Reviews: Oldest Intact Building of San Francisco !, Building of San Francisco constructed in 1780 has been continuously in use for religious purposes.
Very popular amongst its followers.
Awesome construction & interiors are really beautiful.
A must see place for history lovers., Traveled as a couple If you’re on a Mission, Mission Dolores is the oldest intact Mission in California and the oldest building in San Francisco. Founded under the direction of Fr Junipero Serra in 1776! Definitely worth a quick visit, especially if you’re into 250 year old architecture. I’ve done the inside tour, but frankly, I prefer just visiting the outside for photo ops. Mission Dolores is just a block away from Bi-Rite (the 26th ranked ice cream parlor in the world) & Dolores Park. Hanging out at Dolores Park on a Sunday afternoon is a real San Francisco experience which harkens back to the Summer of Love Days. So you can easily knock out these 3 locations in a quick hour or two and not feel like you’ve been duped into the typical SF touristy gimmicks. , Traveled with friends Visit to Mission Delores, San Franciso, I visited Mission Delores. its the Northern most mission of Father Junipero Serra's in California. It started in 1782-1791. It was built by Ohone Native Americans. It is located in the Mission District of San Francisco.
I took the self guided tour of the mission. I saw the smaller church, I saw pictures of Pope John Paul II visiting the church in April 27, 2014. The Basilica (larger church) was quite religiously impressive with statues, organ, stained glass, and domed roof.
There is a small museum. The grave yard area was very interesting to visit. There is an example of an Ohlone Native American home. There is also a statue of Junipero Serra.
To end the tour, I visited the gift shop.

San Francisco | Reviews: Good theater, One of those rare vintage theaters that provide sufficient space for legs/knees at almost every seat. The mezzanine provides a good alternative to the last seats in the orchestra, especially for perspective. The bathrooms are clean, although nothing on the main floor, alas. Refreshments are generally quickly available. BART stops right outside the theater and is a reasonable alternative to securing nearby parking. And, yes, the neighborhood can be sketchy but they generally provide visible security personnel. Classic Beauty, At the Orpheum for Hamilton. Classic 1920s elegant fantasia theater improved with comfortable seating although with tightly spaced aisles. Right in front of a BART station so no need to drive if that is your choice. We found many parking options nearby. Seats and view of performance was perfect., Traveled with friends Hamilton at the Orpheum, We were a bit put off when we arrived at the theatre. There were many homeless people begging for money out front and the smell of marijuana was very heavy in the air.
Once inside the theatre we were blown away. What a beautiful old theatre! The carvings in the wall and the details in the ceilings were stunning. We were a bit surprised that they had the one bathroom in the basement. Then we did find another ladies room on the main floor. It would be nice to have more but with an old building that probably isn’t possible.
The seats were comfortable and we had a good view in row Z seats 105 & 107. Super weird that the seats are all odd on one side of the isle and even on the other. Please note this when you are buying tickets.
We saw Hamilton and were amazed by the talent of the cast! We preferred the 2nd half to the 1st half. We knew the rough idea of the story but found the first half harder to follow. That said, I would see Hamilton again. Don’t think my hubby would tho. , Traveled as a couple | https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g60713-d156586-Reviews-Orpheum_Theatre-San_Francisco_California.html | 4.5 | Orpheum Theatre | categories: Theaters | Description: BroadwaySF is the preeminent theatrical entertainment company in the Bay Area, bringing live entertainment experiences to San Francisco’s premier venues, the Orpheum and Golden Gate Theatres.

We were a bit surprised that they had the one bathroom in the basement. Then we did find another ladies room on the main floor. It would be nice to have more but with an old building that probably isn’t possible.
The seats were comfortable and we had a good view in row Z seats 105 & 107. Super weird that the seats are all odd on one side of the isle and even on the other. Please note this when you are buying tickets.
We saw Hamilton and were amazed by the talent of the cast! We preferred the 2nd half to the 1st half. We knew the rough idea of the story but found the first half harder to follow. That said, I would see Hamilton again. Don’t think my hubby would tho. , Traveled as a couple | [

San Francisco | Reviews: A great interactive museum, A great museum. Really interactive and informative. You could print your face onto money or ride a Wells Fargo stage coach or try morse code! It was really great and learnt a lot about Wells Fargo., Traveled as a couple Stage Coaches, Pony Express, Gold Rush, Banking and More: Wells Fargo Museum, San Francisco, I went to the Wells Fargo Museum in San Francisco. It tells the story of the two bankers. Mr. Wells and Mr. Fargo. A bank was named after them called Wells Fargo.

There are exhibits on two floors.
Admission is free. Very interested! , We have RV’d around the US going to many mining, gold rush towns on our travels. This museum albeit small, is the lynchpin to our travels!

San Francisco | Reviews: Small and overpriced , To be honest we only went because we were short on time and had a pass with attraction inclusions - many of which we couldn't use! The aquarium is quite expensive really if you look at the admission fee and in reality the most you get out of it is about an hour. It's not very big at all but obviously the bits they do have is really nice and interesting. My favourite by far were the otters at the end. I'm sure it's great fun for small kids but a family day out in here is a small fortune., Traveled with friends very expensive for what there is, It was a slightly rainy day so we ducked for cover in the aquarium with our 6yr old. The entry ticket price was eye wateringly high but we bit the bullet. It came with a 'free' pass to madame Tussauds a few blocks away. The exhibits were OK although I was expecting more for the price. I think if you made your way specifically to see this you would be disappointed. However, in conjunction with the madame Tussauds ticket which was good fun it was worth it. Small.. ok if you have kids, Very small! Not sure it was worth the money. Very geared up to kids.
There was a squirrel in a tiny glass enclosure which was very sad to see. It was going back & forth as if it was looking for an escape route. More locked up than one of the Alcatraz prisoners of old!
All in all it seemed a bit dingy & in need of modernisation.

San Francisco | Reviews: Another great Westfield mall that's located in the middle of SF..., I've been visiting the Westfield San Franisco Centre for years and it's still a consistent stop whenever I'm in the city...
This massive mall is gorgeous in design and social media moments are a plenty. The spiraling escalators to the upper levels is functional art in itself. The store selection is massive and up to date with the latest and greatest. I'm sure rent is expensive so "if you're not first, you're last." -Ricky Bobby The holiday decor is fantastic if you happen to be visit during the season. The inverted Lighted Christmas tree displayed on my visit was fantastic. The food emporium is packed with plenty of eating options for everyone.
I've never traveled here by car but parking anywhere in the heart of SF is going to be a nightmare.com...I'd suggest the Bart and Uber everywhere when you visit the awesome Westfield San Francisco Centre. Cheers! Simply amazing, It's a landmark of the city.
Maybe it is the center of San Francisco in any sense.
It is located on Market St.
It is always busy, but for a great reason!
There are so many and different stores in this vast historic building that it's almost overwhelming : you can find an affordable t-shirt at H&M as easily as you can find a piece of Cartier jewelry here.
It is the first shopping center in the US to have a spiral escalator. Even now, decades later, it's still an amazing sight.
The architecture is gorgeous and superb, the dome breathtaking.
And...do not forget the huge food court!
There is something for everyone.
Simply amazing! , Traveled with friends Which first: Shop, eat, or a movie?!, Great dining options in numerous locations throughout the shopping center. The stores tend to cater to a higher end clientele (with some more budget friendly). The movie theatre has an "old time" feel and look to it. | https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g60713-d1987350-Reviews-Westfield_San_Francisco_Centre-San_Francisco_California.html | 4 | Westfield San Francisco Centre | categories: Shopping Malls | Description: Westfield San Francisco Centre is an upscale, urban Shopping mall located in San Francisco, California, managed by the Westfield Group and co-owned by Westfield and Forest City Enterprises. | Westfield San Francisco Centre ; categories: Shopping Malls ; Description: Westfield San Francisco Centre is an upscale, urban Shopping mall located in San Francisco, California, managed by the Westfield Group and co-owned by Westfield and Forest City Enterprises. ; Reviews: Another great Westfield mall that's located in the middle of SF..., I've been visiting the Westfield San Franisco Centre for years and it's still a consistent stop whenever I'm in the city...

San Francisco | Reviews: Iconic building on the San Francisco skyline, This pyramid like building is unmissable on the San Francisco skyline. This building often helps people identify the city because when seen in a photo or movie, people know that it is San Francisco indeed.
The building is visible from many spots which includes places on the Bay when one is on a ferry or boat. This building is an architectural masterpiece.
Munir D., Traveled as a couple Once the Tallest Building in San Francisco: Transamerica Pyramid, I visited the Transamerica Pyramid, which is a business building, and spent time at the Transamerica Pyramid Redwood Park.
The building was built in 1972 and was for a period of time the tallest building in San Francisco. With the recent high rise building going on in San Francisco, it has now been replaced by such building such as the Sales Force Building. Unique to San Francisco, The most unique building in the City and a must-see attraction for anyone local or tourist. Best view, I think is from Jackson Square at Broadway and Montgomery St. Also a nice view farther west, from Nob Hill. I wish there was like a visitor centre inside and people were allowed to go up to the top and look out over SF, like at Coit Tower, but there is not. But it is a very lovely building unlike any other in San Francisco or other cities. And if you're in another part of the City and unsure how to get back downtown to BART/FiDi/Embarcadero/SoMa, etc. just follow the Pyramid and you will get there. | https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g60713-d144408-Reviews-Transamerica_Pyramid-San_Francisco_California.html | 4 | Transamerica Pyramid | categories: Points of Interest & Landmarks Architectural Buildings | Description: Located in downtown San Francisco, this building, shaped like a pyramid, is a well-known symbol of the city skyline. | Transamerica Pyramid ; categories: Points of Interest & Landmarks Architectural Buildings ; Description: Located in downtown San Francisco, this building, shaped like a pyramid, is a well-known symbol of the city skyline. ; Reviews: Iconic building on the San Francisco skyline, This pyramid like building is unmissable on the San Francisco skyline.

San Francisco | Reviews: Gem in the middle of the city, This is a great place to relax in the middle of downtown. Surrounded by tall and swanky buildings, people often working professionals even city residents come here to relax during the busy hours. Lots of greenery and place to sit. Great restaurants as well nearby. Wonder In the city and in the Downtown of San Francisco, This park is diamond in the rough. Located right in middle of downtown. You get amazing skyline view. I have been here half dozen time and always awe and amazed with the views. It has a huge water fall where you can walk underneath where you are behind the water fall. It also has amazing plants out here, nice big lawn area and flower bed. It’s a Oasis in the middle of the city. You can have a picnic there or just sit down catch the sun ray and relax. There nice restaurant and place to eat there. It’s easy access to SFMOMA modern art museums, theaters and a Union Square. This time I came here around 4pm you get day light view and if you come here at night you get a spectacular night view of skylines.
You can take Muni bus 8,30,45, Bart Train/Montgomery Station (walk for a couple minutes) or Cal Train Depot (walk for 10minutes).
This is a wonder in the city and a must see.

San Francisco | Reviews: I find this area to be a gem!, There isn't a whole lot to do around this area (due to Covid) but if you are an insatiable Japan junkie, like myself, it is a little taste of real Japanese during this time. The area is a little off from the hustle of Union Square, but easy to walk to and walk around. I found some cute little shops, though I did not eat there as I had eaten previously before walking there, I found the area charming and I believe as soon as things pick up, it will too. Its worth a trek there for something a little different. Real Japan!, I walked around 20 minutes from San Francisco Opera house. You need to check the transportation in order to get here. I arrived around 10:30 am, then most of the shops were closed. It was okay.
I walked around the town. I saw a lot of legacies of Japanese immigrants. I went to Marufuku ramen restaurant. It was very authentic. I bought green tea at Daiso. Like I said, most of the stores were closed, but it seemed that there were a lot of authentic restaurants and stores! No, We’re not in Japan!, We walked through Japanese mall passing tea shops, restaurants, salon, textiles and beautiful gift shops. We went into the Peace Garden which was a gift from 1960. We sat on numerous beautiful stones and admired the Large pagoda. The lotus flower fountains were off today. The whole area smells delicious Japanese food which we enjoyed immensely.

San Francisco | Reviews: Great historic walking neighborhood, We had friends visiting from CT, parked in a lot at the entrance of Chinatown where we toured. Then took them through my weekend shopping walks when I lived in Nob Hill.
So, Little Italy is right near Chinatown where we stopped at my favorite Deli, Molinari's that's been there since 1896.
It's a great neighborhood to stroll around, with many Italian restaurants and Cafe's. Love the tiramisu and cappuccino's that I always had. They loved the walking tour they gave them and highly recommend you see this area of the city! So Much to Enjoy, A famous bard once asked, "How do I love thee? Let me count the ways."
That's how I feel about North Beach. I have enjoyed its varied sights and offerings for decades now, and am happy to see the neighborhood busing again after the Covid shutdowns.
Every time I visit, I find something new to live, while sti cherishing old favorites. A place to get lost in, happily so., Traveled solo Historic Neighborhood, This is the traditional Italian neighborhood. Well time has passed and neighborhoods change and the population here is mostly Chinese. Lots of well-preserved attractive buildings, a few gems like Coit Tower. Some old fashioned Italian restaurants. Walkable. | https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g60713-d110239-Reviews-North_Beach-San_Francisco_California.html | 4.5 | North Beach | categories: Neighborhoods | Description: Most of this neighborhood's former beatnik charm is retained while adding fine cuisine to its claim to fame. | North Beach ; categories: Neighborhoods ; Description: Most of this neighborhood's former beatnik charm is retained while adding fine cuisine to its claim to fame. ; Reviews: Great historic walking neighborhood, We had friends visiting from CT, parked in a lot at the entrance of Chinatown where we toured.

San Francisco | Reviews: Nicest Public Park Ive seen, GO TO THE SKY GARDEN on top. This is one of the nicest public parks I have seen, and it is above street level. There is a nice walking trail here. Unfortunately, no Dogs allowed. I suppose people working around the area can take a break and unwind here. There are benches on the trail to sit, read a book, or just chat with a friend, maybe have a quick lunch. There is a play area for kids where they have like a jungle gym structure with foam flooring for the safety of the kids.
At the main plaza, there is an arts and craft cart where kids can get free stuff to create art stuff. There is also a foosball table as well as tables and chairs as the center plaza. There is a dancing fountain, an amphitheater. Just a few food stuff like venga empanadas, philz coffee and happy lemon, may they will and more in the future. This is worth a visit. We walked here from the ferry building. Beautiful botanical garden atop the transit center, The last time we tried to visit Salesforce Park atop the Transit Center it was closed due to repair of cracked beams. It’s a lovely botanical garden of five acres with eleven themed plantings, beautifully selected and cared for. There is a guide to the plants on their website but some plants are marked. I used a plant identifier app for many that were not, and it got most of them. Lots of people were strolling on their lunch breaks and eating. On one side there is a water feature that spouts when a bus drives below. It is definitely worth a stop on your itinerary. A beautiful park "in the sky", The Salesforce Transit Center replaced the old Transbay Terminal which was a location for the various non San Francisco Bus systems and distant bus services (like Greyhound) would use as the bus terminal in downtown SF and connect to each other and SF Muni and BART systems. It is adjacent to the Salesforce Tower, now the tallest building in San Francisco. It is a massive structure with over a million square feet and the structure is over 1200 feet long. There are many bus bays on the third level for the bus connections. Food trucks and pop-up carts bring a variety of food choices along with a few cafes. On the five-acre top of the structure is Salesforce Park. It is a very innovative rooftop park with free events and activities year round for people of all ages. This 5.4 acre park has a layered soil system that
balances seismic shifting, collects and filters stormwater, and irrigates the gardens. Tthe soil and dense planting in the park help offset the urban heat island effect by lowering the air temperature. The gardens of the park showcase the wide variety of plants that grow in California's Mediterranean climate as well as the diversity of plants from several of the world's other Mediterranean climate zones. Each of those areas, from Mediterranean Europe to western Australia, is featured in its own location in the park. The park's different gardens allow visitors to also appreciate the climatic conditions and environments from drought to fog, desert to forest that exist in
California. Pleasant and entertaining, educational and stimulating, this park is a real paradise in downtown San Francisco. It can be accessed by Gondola from street level. The views of the surrounding buildings are quite spectacular also. It is a photographer's paradise. An unusual feature of the park is a thousand-foot “water sculpture” by the artist Ned Kahn, titled “Bus Fountain,” runs along its northern perimeter; from time to time, streams of water shot upward, triggered by the movement of buses through the terminal below. | https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g60713-d14140677-Reviews-Salesforce_Transit_Center-San_Francisco_California.html | 4.5 | Salesforce Transit Center | categories: Points of Interest & Landmarks | Description: Salesforce Transit Center is a landmark for the San Francisco Bay Area.

San Francisco | Reviews: It's the Happening Place, This is where all the groovy people go now for the coffee shops and cool restaurants, plus the funky bars and the ambience. But it has history as the Latino neighborhood and one should come here to explore what is left, especially the murals. And then go drink some coffee. Great history, Went to see the alley with my sister from Delaware and let me just say how beautiful the murals are. I especially liked the powerful women empowerment mural. We were also the first ones to see a man painting Donald Trump. That one should be interesting once it’s completed. The area looks sketchy but overall it was a great sight to see!!! I plan on doing some research in regards to the murals and learn the history as well. Come with an OPEN mind ❤️, Traveled with friends Fun Time in the Mission District, San Francisco, We had a fun return trip to the Mission District of San Francisco.
We had a delightful lunch on the patio at Foreign Cinema, which is a really fun restaurant
We took a walk and went to several stores and also looked at the amazing murals.

San Francisco | Reviews: Post Covid Return SF Ballet, I've loved this stately building since my grad school days, when I'd escape from my studies for a few hours of entertainment. I visit often now and try to catch performances when I'm in town.
This was my first trip back in a year, and I was lucky enough to attend the ballet's West Coast Premiere of "Seasons." Masks and proof of vaccines were required.
The venue looks amazing, like the beautiful palace of culture it is. What a treat to don dress heels for the first time in two plus years and walk across the lobby's polished floors.
Can't wait to return, maybe for the centennial celebration., Traveled solo Lovely performance of The Nutcracker, It is a lovely building. Just saw The Nutcracker ballet performed here. Seats are small and not very comfortable but the acoustics are quite good. Mini bar at the Dress Circle has some good choices for drinks, Traveled on business Lovely performance and venue , We enjoyed the performance we saw at the War Memorial Opera House. The performers were amazing. The venue itself is beautiful. This place was built for sound! Additionally the staffing is well ran. Besides the noteworthy performance we enjoyed that you could preorder food and drinks for intermission which made it very easy and stress free during those times. , Traveled with friends | https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g60713-d156729-Reviews-War_Memorial_Opera_House-San_Francisco_California.html | 4.5 | War Memorial Opera House | categories: Architectural Buildings Theaters | Description: This beautiful beaux arts structure is home to the San Francisco Opera. | War Memorial Opera House ; categories: Architectural Buildings Theaters ; Description: This beautiful beaux arts structure is home to the San Francisco Opera. ; Reviews: Post Covid Return SF Ballet, I've loved this stately building since my grad school days, when I'd escape from my studies for a few hours of entertainment.

San Francisco | Reviews: A wonderfully good time., Located just a few blocks from Union Square is this cozy little theater that houses a wonderfully intimate show. You can really feel the heart that Jay puts into his show and you will walk out wondering how he pulled off his amazing tricks. The show is very engaging and you feel as if you are truly a part of the show. Thanks Jay for a wonderful evening!, Traveled as a couple Highly recommend for a unique night in SF, I’ve been coming to SF for years and have seen many shows here, but had not heard about this show. I’m so glad my sister in law picked this show for our weekend trip!
Wonderful experience from the moment we walked in. Jay greeted each of us as he took us to our table in the cocktail room that had a cool speakeasy/vintage magic museum vibe perfectly suited to the theatre’s beautiful Moroccan design elements left from the original tenant. The intimate pre-show cocktail hour was a brilliant way to get immersed into the experience to come….which was absolutely amazing. We are still thinking and talking about it! Jay’s show had us repeatedly surprised, thinking, and laughing. He is an incredibly smart and talented performer who no only entertains but connects with his audience in a heartfelt way. The staff was also very efficient and friendly. I can’t recommend this show enough and can’t wait to come again with my family and friends., Traveled with friends Its truly magical, He kept saying that it was all math and science but it sure seemed like magic to me. The theater is very intimate so you can see everything that happens very clearly. There is a lot of audience participation so that’s very fun.

San Francisco | Reviews: Busy Thoroughfare Near Union Square, Main thoroughfare in the heart of downtown San Francisco running from the Ferry Building on the Embarcadero and through Union Square. Union Square if a hub for shopping, dining and entertainment. The area is a magnet for the many homeless who roam the city. Crosstown Street, This is the city's major artery, although traffic control policies make it confusing as to which vehicles can use it. I just walk and it is practical for connecting many neighborhoods. Part of the street has grand architecture, part is boring. And as you go west you pass through residential areas and end up on top of Twin Peaks where the views are supert. Don't go beyond 5th, Market St down near the Ferry Building and in the Financial District seemed fine. Lots of the major shops including the large Westfield Shopping Centre are on Market and also the Powell/Market Cable Car turnaround. We had a chat on our first night in SF with some police who were on a coffee break. They suggested tourists shouldn't venture beyond 5th as you then creep into the Tenderloin area and they said it's not just bad - it's really bad. There are a lot of homeless people around Powell/Market but lots of tourists as well. Would recommend you are vigilant and you should be fine. Be prepared to be approached by homeless people. It was recommended to us not to give money but you can always given them food., Traveled as a couple | https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g60713-d144424-Reviews-Market_Street-San_Francisco_California.html | 3.5 | Market Street | categories: Points of Interest & Landmarks | Description: Considered to be the Champs Elysees of the city, this grand street is filled with shops, hotels, and, along the way, remarkable architecture. | Market Street ; categories: Points of Interest & Landmarks ; Description: Considered to be the Champs Elysees of the city, this grand street is filled with shops, hotels, and, along the way, remarkable architecture. ; Reviews: Busy Thoroughfare Near Union Square, Main thoroughfare in the heart of downtown San Francisco running from the Ferry Building on the Embarcadero and through Union Square.

San Francisco | Reviews: SF Symphony with maestro Blomstedt, I was here to see the San Francisco under the baton of legendary conductor Herbert Blomstedt. Although Davies Hall is now over 40 years old, it has aged well and is a great place to attend a concert.
I sat in the Side Terrace behind the orchestra, which provided a unique view and great sound. Maestro Blomstedt and the symphony were in top form, performing Beethoven and Nielsen. A great afternoon at the concert hall! Any performance is great, the venue is amazing, never disappoints, About 25 years ago, my husband and I had season tickets to the SF Symphony when Michael Tilson Thomas first took over as their music director and conductor. This 2019-2020 symphony season is MTT's last at SFS, he will retire to explore other adventures in music and his successor is already in place and ready to take the reins. In addition to taking in one of his last concerts, I was fortunate to get tickets to see a truly remarkable concert last week when Joshua Bell and the Academy of Saint Martin in the Fields came to San Francisco.

Davies Symphony Hall ; categories: Theaters ; Description: Home to the San Francisco Symphony, this modern structure created quite an architectural controversy when first built. ; Reviews: SF Symphony with maestro Blomstedt, I was here to see the San Francisco under the baton of legendary conductor Herbert Blomstedt. Although Davies Hall is now over 40 years old, it has aged well and is a great place to attend a concert.
I sat in the Side Terrace behind the orchestra, which provided a unique view and great sound. Maestro Blomstedt and the symphony were in top form, performing Beethoven and Nielsen. A great afternoon at the concert hall! Any performance is great, the venue is amazing, never disappoints, About 25 years ago, my husband and I had season tickets to the SF Symphony when Michael Tilson Thomas first took over as their music director and conductor. This 2019-2020 symphony season is MTT's last at SFS, he will retire to explore other adventures in music and his successor is already in place and ready to take the reins. In addition to taking in one of his last concerts, I was fortunate to get tickets to see a truly remarkable concert last week when Joshua Bell and the Academy of Saint Martin in the Fields came to San Francisco. It was my first visit to Davies Symphony Hall since my husband died 16 years ago. The venue never disappoints, it is beautiful with excellent acoustics. Anything you see here will be wonderful.

San Francisco | Reviews: 5 Stars for Beat Museum, A MUST visit while in San Francisco for all those who love literature and want to experience a special experience unique to the city. Perfectly situated near City Lights Bookstore, and the surrounding North Beach neighborhood, the Beat Museum is a cultural gem. Stop by to see the museum and buy a book or books while visiting! Good Movie, Interesting Exhibits - The Beat Museum, San Francisco, I purchased my ticket and went to see The Beat Museum. There is a very good movie oo the Beatnick Movement. Some of the names of the Beatnick movement are Jack Keruac, Allen Ginsberg, poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Timothy Leary, Ken Keasey and so forth. The movie is worth seeing.
Then on the 2nd floor are exhibits such as Allen Ginsberg's Organ, Banned Books Exhibit (City Lights Bookstore), and more.
I found it well worth my time and with the ticket price being so reasonable, I find it a very fun thing to do. Staff is very helpful.
There is also a store with books, etc, to buy if interesed. Great place for people interested in "Beat" authors, My husband and I grew up with and love the works of many of the Beat Generation. Even though we were a bit younger, these writers had an immense influence on the writers of the 60's and later. So we thoroughly enjoyed paying the few dollars ($8 pp but I later learned there is a senior rate of $5) to go into the museum and see photos, placards, letters, handwriting, first editions, and items from Kerouac, Ginsberg, Burroughs, Kesey, et al. There are a number of exhibits on others from the time period as well and we saw some on the Beatles. The car that
Neal Cassady drove that became part of Kerouac's On the Road is on exhibit.
The front is a shop that sells used books, new books, the usual kind of mementos, as well as an assortment of magazines from the era (there are a lot of Playboys for example). I enjoyed the display on books that had been banned at various times and places-including Black Beauty!
It's just a fun place to relive memories for us over 60's! I understand that there are programs held here as well but we were just here on a visit. We enjoyed visiting with the young man working there. I wish I had asked him to turn the video on for us to watch. I only later learned about it.
I see that one reviewer said that the museum promotes drugs and sex. I certainly did not get that impression. Drugs and sex were presented only in relation to explaining some of the writers' lives. If you get offended easily, then maybe this isn't the place for you but it's not in the face pornography for goodness sake. I guess that is why we need displays on book banning.

San Francisco | Reviews: Must see San Francisco, I used to live in Northern California and went on Scool field trips to the museums, aquarium, art and science centers. What baffles me is we never visited Japan Center. I “discovered” it while looking for a Daiso (sort of like Dollar stores). When we got there and realized it is a wonderland for anyone interested or a fan of Japanese items. There are many restaurants and eateries, shopping and interesting things to look at it. We love it and even stayed in a hotel across the street so we could visit frequently during our five day stay. Highly recommend as a top thing to do in San Francisco., Traveled with friends A bit dated and dirty but lots of shops, Wasn’t quite what we were expecting but we had fun nonetheless. A decent assortment of shops, lots of restaurants, but dingy and stuffy. Some shops had good prices while others were very high. Daiso was probably the most fun place. Worth an hour or two visit if Japanese shops and food is of interest. Movies and lunch, We went to see the new Star Wars movies with the granddaughters at the Kabuki theatre, then went to lunch. We went to the Sanppo Restaurant and had a tasty lunch. I love J Town any day of the week. It’s a good place for a great meal.

San Francisco | Reviews: Fantastic convention center experience, My first time to the Moscone Center. I am told many updates have been made since last year. Blown away by the convention center. Wide-open lobby and easy registration. Lots of stairways, escalators, and elevators. Easy to move around and beautiful experience. The staff was very helpful. Blown away by the way they mobilized to make us feel psychologically better about flu season and the coronavirus scare. Staff were deployed to constantly wipe down every place your hands would touch in a day including escalator handrails, stairway handrails, every elevator button, seat, mobile phone charging station, and more. Conference at Moscone Center - San Francisco, My husband and I attended an engineering conference in San Francisco. He also gave a presentation in a large conference room. Moscone Center is a good place for a convention or conference. His company also had a booth there.
Moscone Center is in a good location close to public transportation. For Conventions Only, It's the big convention center, and I mean big. It can accommodate lots and lots of people. Located close to lots of hotels, on transit lines, and near a lot of good cultural institutions. When it was built it was nowhere, but now the city has grown up around it. | https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g60713-d1419804-Reviews-Moscone_Center-San_Francisco_California.html | 4 | Moscone Center | categories: Convention Centers | Moscone Center ; categories: Convention Centers ; ; Reviews: Fantastic convention center experience, My first time to the Moscone Center.

San Francisco | Reviews: Victorian Architecture, One of San Francisco's most desirable neighborhoods. This is where everyone wants to live because it is so pretty, so cool, and so central. But no one can afford it anymore, so it is a bit frozen in time. Come can stroll the pretty streets with lovely Victorian architecture. Terrific Neighborhood, This is definitely where folks want to live. Houses and apartments are very much in demand here because it is close to so much, the weather is good (for SF!) and the street vibe is so cool, Expect to see lots of families pushing baby carriages. Good shopping and good eating. Off the Beaten Path -- where the sun shines, We hop onto the J-Church MUNI car which is to take us to the sunnier part of San Francisco, Noe Valley (pronounced NO-EE as I was kindly informed). Both my husband and I were excited to be taking a unique tour of SF as our friends live in Noe and can't stop talking about it. Apparently this is one of the most coveted neighborhoods to live in SF -- more than Pacific Heights. We had to see it. We got off on the 24th street stop and walked West towards the heart of Noe Valley -- apparently it starts at Martha & Bros Coffee which is just a block or so down from the stop. Strong, great coffee. We waited for our friends to show and found ourselves eavesdropping on some fun, political banter from the locals. Our friends soon arrived and we walked down 24th stopping in at all the cute boutiques. There's shoe stores, women's clothing stores, gift stores, art stores and some great kids stores. We found ourselves in the Urban Nest for way too long -- they have great gift items for the home -- and then us girls went into La Coterie (a GREAT womens clothing store where the owner is super nice) and the boys hit Streetlight Records. It's not like shopping on Chestnut which I've done -- it's very hometown feel -- you almost feel like you are not in a big city. There's a Starbucks and a Rite Aid but other than that, everything seemed locally owned and run.
As far as restaurants, we ate on the outside patio of Le Zinc, a little French bistro. They have the best french fries I have ever tasted. My husband and I promised that the next time we visit, we are getting beer & french fries there for an afternoon snack. There are other good restaurants there too such as Fresca, Firefly and Savor. We ended up having brunch at Miss Millie's the next day which has to die for churros. Although we were visiting friends, I definitely think you could make a lovely afternoon out of cool and sunny Noe Valley.

San Francisco | Reviews: A Must See, We stumbled upon this place while exploring Chinatown and Vicinity. The gates and Doors were originally locked and the associate pastor greeted us and asked if we would like to go inside. He unlocked the building and when we went inside we were stunned by the beauty of the architecture. It was Magnificent. Then afterwards the Pastor took us to a small Chapel where we got to see the original Building that was transported brick by brick from Assisi. It was a pleasant and unplanned experience but well worth it. I highly recommend it. Beautiful church that comes with a scale model of an even older church, The main church instilled a sense of grandeur with its tall arches, stained glass windows and panels of paintings adorning the altar. At the side of the church is a building with the name Nuova Ponziuncola above the front entrance. It houses a 2/3 scale model of Saint Francis' Ponziuncola in Assisi, Italy. Even the wall paintings were chipped to resemble the original, according to the father giving the tour. It is definitely worth the visit Peaceful Holiday Visit to The National Shrie of Saint Francis of Assisi, San Francisco, I visited the National Shrine of Saint Francis of Assisi. It is in the North Beach - Chinatown area of San Francisco. It was founded June 17, 1849. It was the first parish church in San Francisco as well as the first parochial school. The first ordination to th priesthood was held there in 1852.
I visited during the Christmas holiday season so nativity scenes were up as well as poinsettias It was very pretty.
The archietecture, religious statues, and; tall column struce of the cathedral are all nice to see. | https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g60713-d1936760-Reviews-The_National_Shrine_of_Saint_Francis_of_Assisi-San_Francisco_California.html | 4.5 | The National Shrine of Saint Francis of Assisi | categories: Religious Sites Monuments & Statues | The National Shrine of Saint Francis of Assisi ; categories: Religious Sites Monuments & Statues ; ; Reviews: A Must See, We stumbled upon this place while exploring Chinatown and Vicinity.

San Francisco | Reviews: No longer looks like Full House. No red steps. No red door. Visit Painted Ladies instead that is in the opening shot, The red steps and door seen in the Full House show are no longer. Not worth a picture. The house looks like any other San Francisco Victorian. Street is busy and not safe for children., Traveled with friends Cool Landmark, The neighbors are angry... which was apparent by posted signage on the construction fence surrounding the "Full House House" (it was being renovated). I am sure people are rude and noisy, but that's what happens when you buy a home next door to a pop culture icon. Its Sri there but painted brown, Final day of our week long LA to San Fran road trip drove by the full house house to check it out. Gave it 4 out of 5 just because my wife and daughters thought it was worth it. Located at 1709 Broderick St - not across the street from Alamo park as we thought it was but as an added bonus got to see an overweight man in nothing but a g-string dancing in the park and a homeless man peeing on a lamp post.

San Francisco | Reviews: Park service is not making the most of this historical and unique site at the wharf in San Francisco!, The visitor's center was supposed to have all the scoop, but was partially closed due to setting up a new exhibit. The maritime museum building (big white ocean liner shaped building) is really cool, but only the first floor is open. Which is a shame because there could be so much more to it than what is being displayed. Kind of a bummer., Traveled as a couple It's FREE, an Excellent Primer in Warf History, and it Has Clean Public Restrooms!!!!!, I have been going to Fisherman's Warf for decades and just discovered this place. In truth, it began with a search for a public rest room. It has that! But then we wandered on to the historic exhibits, boats, diving suits, and a lot of historic photographs and I was impressed with the attention to substative detail. Very informative and historic. And did I mention it is FREE!!!! Even if you just want a pit stop and to get warm, you will find much more...

San Francisco | Reviews: Architecture Gem and wonderful shopping mall, This is a wonderful and amazing shopping center in the middle of downtown financial district. I was stunned by the architecture. It is a great place for lunch, happy hour, dinning and shopping. It has very elegant and fancy restaurants and hotels there. And overall it’s a very nice shopping mall. Make sure you go up to the second floor and you will get a great view of Ferry Building and Bay Bridge. And there is an Abstract Art Works there and nice water fountain. It’s a unique experience just walking though there. Get your camera out and ready for some great building and modern architecture shots.
Take Bart train exit at Embarcadero station (you are within 2 min walk). If you are coming to East Bay, make sure you visit this shopping center,
ruhungrytientien, Traveled solo Office Buildings and Mall, I did work here one time and way back then the shopping area was full of stores and the bars and restaurants were full after work. Times have changed and a lot of the shopping is gone. The architecture is still iconic. The lights at Christmas are special. I Used to Work Here, I once worked here and it was a joy to wander through the shops at lunch time, and then maybe pop into a bar for happy hour. And there are a few good restaurants. The design is classic 70s urban renewal, a nice harmonious collection of a hotel and some office buildings that look like books in a library. Good design. | https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g60713-d103853-Reviews-Embarcadero_Center-San_Francisco_California.html | 4 | Embarcadero Center | categories: Points of Interest & Landmarks Shopping Malls | Description: With more than 125 stores on three levels, plus seasonal concerts, festivals or art displays for the enervated shopper. | Embarcadero Center ; categories: Points of Interest & Landmarks Shopping Malls ; Description: With more than 125 stores on three levels, plus seasonal concerts, festivals or art displays for the enervated shopper. ; Reviews: Architecture Gem and wonderful shopping mall, This is a wonderful and amazing shopping center in the middle of downtown financial district.

San Francisco | Reviews: Official Store, And a,good place to stop, if you want to go visiting officiously.
Well, they also seemed to have the only public restrooms for a mile around, and definitely you might want to stop by before or after climbing the bridge. The restrooms are opposite the Welcome centre.
Tip. For heading back to the SF city, you should cross under the road to the tola station on the other side. That's the place for regular buses (about $5) to the city. Though there is a bus stop in the parking lot of the Welcome Centre, I don't know how regularly those buses run: I didn't see any in two days of visiting the GGB., Traveled solo Great view of the Golden Gate Bridge, We stopped here on our way into SF. Very limited parking. Great views of the Golden Gate Bridge, and a few walking trails as well. Bathrooms are also available. LocTed in the South side of the GG Bridge off of 101., Traveled with family Great way to visit the bridge, I arrived at the Welcome Center on a Sunday morning. The crowds where light and parking was easy to find. Parking is .25 cents every 15 minutes. The fog in the morning provides a breathtaking view of the bridge and it is a easy walk to different vantage points of the bridge. You can also choose to walk the bridge if you would like. | https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g60713-d15292023-Reviews-Golden_Gate_Bridge_Welcome_Center-San_Francisco_California.html | 4.5 | Golden Gate Bridge Welcome Center | categories: Visitor Centers | Golden Gate Bridge Welcome Center ; categories: Visitor Centers ; ; Reviews: Official Store, And a,good place to stop, if you want to go visiting officiously.

San Francisco | Reviews: So good we did it twice, Great escape rooms and friendly atmosphere. We were in SF for a long weekend and my son (13) loves escape rooms. This was really convenient, very close to Union Square, maybe a 2-5 minute walk and just a few blocks away. They had several choices for room themes, we did the Gold Rush room. We chose it mostly because, and this is a great thing, you can see how many people have signed up for which rooms on the website. We prefer to do the rooms with other people, and always end up making some friends and having fun.
We finished the gold rush room with a few minutes left, and had such a great time we booked another for the next night. You get a discount if you do it there....we booked it online and the staff was super nice and gave us the discount because they remembered us from the night before. Thanks!!
We did the Secret Market room the second time, and this one had some cool and clever puzzles to figure out, not just finding numbers and unlocking locks. And there was two different parts for this one, we really enjoyed it. (no spoilers!)
The staff is very friendly and professional, the sign up process was very quick and easy, and the rooms were great!! Highly recommend!, Traveled with family A must try!, Andrew was an amazing guide! He made our group feel comfortable and was very friendly. He was well versed in his job and always jumped in at the right times to help us through the escape room. Would definitely recommend!, Traveled with friends Fun and Challenging!, Decided to do an escape room with a group of friends and decided on The Escape Game in SF for it's location and cool looking rooms! The location is in SF's financial district and they have a lot of times available after work-- all the way until 11PM! My friends and I got off work and ate dinner in the area. Then we walked over to the Escape Game. Upon arrival we were greeted by friendly staff who instructed us to sign in. They let us use the bathrooms and had us wait in the waiting area. On the dot, we were guided into the escape room. Our guide, Eliana (sp?), explained what we could and couldn't do briefly and then left us to have our fun! It was a wonderful 1 hour! We escaped with a little over a minute to spare thanks to the clues! After we were dune, our guide came back to let us out and took pictures for us! In case you were waiting for your IG BFs to be ready, no #IGboyfriend needed because our guide took amazing pictures! We loved the game and the guide even gave us a preview of another room!

San Francisco | Reviews: Fun For Star Wars Fans, While visiting the Presidio we finally had the time to search for the Yoda Fountain. It was about a 15 minute walk from our parking spot (in Lot 7) to the Lucasfilm Sound and Lights building. The lot right in front required us to show an employee badge so unfortunately we did not qualify.
Due to Covid-19 the lobby was not open so we did not get to see the other Star Wars memorabilia inside. Hopefully soon.
The statue itself was quite detailed. Yoda was perched above the fountain in a classic pose about to say something wise to his Jedi students.
We definitely will be back.
, Traveled with family Fun stop near the Presidio, Looking for things to do near the Presidio, I saw Yoda Fountain on Google Maps so we decided to visit. Turns out that it is in a newly developed commercial area of the Presidio where Lucasfilm is located. The guard let us into the lot to park and told us to be sure to look in the windows behind the fountain. Yoda is fairly small but worth a selfie. In the windows behind the fountain in the lobby (not open to the public), you can see other Lucasfilm character models. We decided to stroll further to see what else was there and found grassy areas with a view of the Palace of Fine Arts and the bay. There are also two statues of film and TV pioneers, the inventor of the zoetrope, Eadweard James Muybridge, and Philo Farnsworth, inventor of TV. We were hungry so we stopped at the Starbucks for coffee to warm up and get sandwiches. Watching the employees was a hoot—one in a WALL-E on a poodle-style skirt and another with a Star Wars lunch box. We admired the well-done landscaping on our way back to the car. Photo Op, The Yoda fountain is located in front of the lobby of the Letterman Digital and New Media Arts Building lobby.
Nice spot for a photo opportunity. A peaceful setting though you may need to wait your turn for a photo as it is visited by many with kids. | https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g60713-d14766141-Reviews-Yoda_fountain-San_Francisco_California.html | 4.5 | Yoda fountain | categories: Points of Interest & Landmarks Monuments & Statues Fountains | Description: Suggested duration | Yoda fountain ; categories: Points of Interest & Landmarks Monuments & Statues Fountains ; Description: Suggested duration ; Reviews: Fun For Star Wars Fans, While visiting the Presidio we finally had the time to search for the Yoda Fountain.

San Francisco | Reviews: Go! (Harry Potter), Tickets were rather pricey and the first few rows don’t quite have the amazing view you normally get in theaters in Europe. The theatre is well organized to the point where yes, there are massive queues to the restrooms but it moves incredibly fast! The show was not quite what I expected but the performances were excellent! There’s a lot of cape swirling, comical points and the dementors were the high point for me. Go, enjoy!, Traveled solo Amazing Experience - H.P. & the Cursed Child, Visiting the theatre to see Harry Potter and the Cursed Child was the pinnacle stop during our trip to S.F. in February. The theatre is very well-maintained, with seating at about 1,750. We enjoyed some light refreshments prior to the show, and a visit to the gift shop to buy a few items. The show was amazing and exceeded our expectations! The cast was great, making the audience feel like we were at Hogwarts or other related locations. The stage/set and magical features were great. A must do when in S.F. ! Gorgeous theater but very warm, We came to see Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. The production was awesome! They offered a order drinks and snacks to your seat service which was great. Covid protocols were well described when purchasing tickets and in email communications. My one complaint was that the theater was incredibly warm the night we saw the show. Uncomfortably warm.

San Francisco | Reviews: Cirque du Soleil meets Beach Blanket Babylon, Wow. This was a fantastic show. I have lived in San Francisco for 24 years, and absolutely loved the parts that were about San Francisco life and culture. They spun a great story about this city, while mixing it in with acrobatics (which is a word that really doesn't do it justice) and singing. Think about cirque du soleil performers, but without the costumes. It was a bit chaotic - I didn't know where to look because there were so many cool things happening - but I kinda liked that. It kept us on the edges of our seats, that's for sure. It's a small venue, so most seats have a great view, even those on the far left and right sides. The only seats that I'm unsure about are those behind the stage. They did get to see everything and the performers did turn around to address them many times, but most of the performance was geared toward the front of the stage. This is a show that we will likely see again, and would wholeheartedly recommend to all of our local friends & visitors. It's a show that kids would enjoy as well., So great to read the energy of your experience carrying into your review! Thank you so much for taking the time-- and making the effort-- to describe it in this detail. So helpful to people wondering about the experience and to us in telling people about it.
One note on the stage seats: Next time you are in, I highly recommend it. Though it feels to you, out front, that the show is oriented mainly to the front, there are all sorts of moments that only are visible to the people on the stage, and all sorts of exchanges that happen between the audience and the acrobats that don't out front. SO, it's a bit of an illusion that keeps everyone feeling like the show was made just for them..., Written , December 2, 2022, This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC. A beautiful and entertaining love letter to San Francisco!, I've seen the show "Dear San Francisco" by the 7 Fingers acrobats twice now, and I plan on bringing my daughter for a third time so she can experience it too! This show captures so many emotions about San Francisco and it's done in a very entertaining and thoughtful way. The acrobats clearly LOVE what they are doing and that resonates with the crowd. You are drawn into their world and find yourself on the edge of your seat, cheering them on. Great venue as well--not a bad seat in the house. Don't miss this show!!, Thank you so much for writing and sharing your enthusiastic support of the show. One of the defining aspects of the overall experience is that we ALL love what we are doing-- the cast, the crew, and the staff. And that seems to permeate and create an experience of total joy for everyone in the room. Glad you felt it and took the time to say so!, Written , March 22, 2023, This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Fantastic 'Circque-like' Show Touching on SF Themes and Sentiments, Fantastic show - highly recommend. Had stage seats and impressed show ensured both those on and off stage received an excellent view of the show. Visiting from Toronto and found about about this from "Total SF" podcast and glad we caught it. Billed as a "love letter to SF" and I think this is true. While most is acrobatic there is good variety such as film, singing, story-telling, audience participation etc. As tourists, we were impressed by the huge number of locals in the audience and like the fact people really seemed to celebrate their city. If you ever want to see a acrobat representation of the 1906 SF earthquakes and fire, then this show will do that. "Tech bro" was another audience favourite., Thank you for writing! Dear San Francisco also just received a glowing review from the Toronto Sun's travel reporter, so hopefully more of your Ontario neighbors will be dropping in while they're in the city.

San Francisco | Reviews: Wish We had a Better System, I am a big supporter of public transit, and I commuted on BART for over 30 years. Now I use it as a substitute for driving, but have been away because of Covid. The mask requirement has been recently reinstated, but few riders were masked. Homeless people on board, as usual. The new cars are supposed to be easier to clean, and it shows. The system is suffering and we need better. Necessary Rapid Transit, I used to commute on this system and complained all the time because that was commuting. Now I use BART for errands and pleasure and I have few complaints. They are trying very hard to keep it clean and safe and that is a hard job. Mostly successful. BART is very much needed to take cars off the road and to move us quickly across the Bay and to the airport, etc. It is a treasure. Great alternative fro the airport, Used BART for the first to get from the airport to the hotel. It was very inexpensive and very easy to use. The airport makes it very convenient to get to the BART location at the international terminal.. The train stops at many locations in SF on its way to Oakland. The cost was 1/3 the cost of a taxi or ride-share. Took about 30 minutes to get to downtown SF. Going back to the airport was just as easy. | https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g60713-d7715519-Reviews-Bay_Area_Rapid_Transit-San_Francisco_California.html | 3.5 | Bay Area Rapid Transit | categories: Public Transportation Systems | Description: BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) provides sustainable, all electirc train service to San Francisco bound visitors from around the world.

San Francisco | Reviews: Enjoy the views, walk and the large grassy area!, Just went again, as we've been taking our dog here for walks and always love this area and enjoy coming over the Golden Gate Bridge to do so.
It's always beautiful on a sunny or any day to walk among people up & down the sidewalk, and sit on the lawn and enjoy the views. Great to view the home there along the sidewalk and in the Marina districts there.
Trivia... this is where Joe DiMaggio walked with his friends as he was a native San Franciscan.
We make it a point to drive along here at Christmas time to see all of the sailboats with holiday their holiday lights. Major Open Space & Popular, This huge open space is amazingly popular. Lots of people out and about all day long, walking dogs, throwing frisbees, flying kites, and just walking. Great views of the GG Bridge and the lovely Marina District homes. A huge area. Awesome Views from Marina Green, San Francisco, Ca, We returned to Marina Green area on a June overcast day. This is a nice green area as well as a nice area by the bay.

San Francisco | Reviews: Good acoustics to hear Oprah, My sister & I attended Oprah: 2020 Vision at Chase Center. There were 15,000 of us, and at one point, for 15 minutes, there was no talking in the audience during The Big Quiet, led by Jesse Israel: amazing! Be sure to arrive at least one hour before the scheduled start of the event you’re attending. Each bag cannot be larger than 14”x14”x6”; no cameras that accommodate an interchangeable lens will be allowed. A $10 fee is assessed to check a too-large bag, other prohibited items. A big plus is that your Chase Center ticket allows unlimited rides on San Francisco’s MUNI buses, light rail for the date of your ticket!, Traveled with family Brand New Home for the Warriors and Concert Events in San Francisco, We went to see the Warriors last night at the new Chase Center here in San Francisco. It was our second time there so now have a better feel for the place and will try to give some insight. The arena is about a thousand seats smaller than the Oracle Arena in Oakland where the Warriors played previously. However, being a brand new building right off the bay. It is quite nice.
Doors open 90 minutes prior to the start of the game but Chase card holders can get in a half hour earlier than that through the entrance in the back (Bay side) on the second floor. There are a lot of signs. We took a Lyft car there from downtown for about $11.00 for the 3 of us. Muni- metro (SF Public transportation – Rail Car) can get you there too. For Warriors ticket holders, MUNI is free on game days to and from Chase Center. We used it on the return trip back to downtown and found it convenient, but slow.
Chase center is state of the art with a massive Jumbo-tron in the center of the arena. Seating is comfortable but cup holders are placed at the edge of each armrest and were sort of annoying and not comfortable for your arms. I guess they want a lot of space for you to put your $14 beers (that was the cost of a beer). There are a lot of great places to eat. We got chicken sandwiches from Bakesale Betty which will be reviewed separately. We liked the arena overall. Great addition to San Francisco, A beautiful modern basketball venue with a ton of dining and drinking options inside and outside the building. Gotta's Roadside is always a MUST, but there is also craft beer options overlooking the Bay Bridge. It's just insane how incredible this waterfront option is.
I came to see the Warriors play the Suns and the game was incredible. Fans really made the experience even better and even though it was pricey to go, I would pay again for the experience.

I guess they want a lot of space for you to put your $14 beers (that was the cost of a beer). There are a lot of great places to eat. We got chicken sandwiches from Bakesale Betty which will be reviewed separately. We liked the arena overall. Great addition to San Francisco, A beautiful modern basketball venue with a ton of dining and drinking options inside and outside the building. Gotta's Roadside is always a MUST, but there is also craft beer options overlooking the Bay Bridge. It's just insane how incredible this waterfront option is.
I came to see the Warriors play the Suns and the game was incredible. Fans really made the experience even better and even though it was pricey to go, I would pay again for the experience.
Great addition to San Francisco. | [

San Francisco | Reviews: Most Beautiful colorful tile steps, It’s by accident that I discovered this hidden garden and steps in the sunset section of San Francisco. It’s only 2 blocks away from the famous 16 ST tile steps by the Grand view Park. The path up is the narrow and about 160 steps to the top, I was amazed by the pattern, details of the tiles. And at the bottom left by the entrance , you have cute color bench which matched the overall steps pattern. It’s a amazing sights. With the gardens on both sides, I felt like a little kid wander in the Alice wonderland. You need to see this one for your self. It simply breath taking.
You bus take Muni bus 28 and N train to get here. Remember look for Grand view park & 16th street tile steps. And hidden garden is just 2 blocks north.
ruhungrytientien, Traveled solo Fun visit, good stair climb., We were looking for something to do on President’s Day as we both had it off and the foggy morning gave way to a beautiful San Francisco day. We drove over to the Hidden Garden Steps and found parking right at the base at Kirkham Street & 16th Avenue. We took a few shots and headed up the stairs. There are approximately 140 stairs which are finished with mosaic colored tiles. The views are okay but there is a lot of growth making views hard to see through the trees. Still fun though and worth a stop.
If you are not up for climbing up the stairs, the upper landing can be found at Lawton and 16th Avenue where you can walk down them. Also keep in mind from the top of the stairs if you walk 2 more blocks (south) on 16th Avenue to Moraga Street, there is another mosaic tile patterned stairs called the 16th Avenue Tiled Stairs and worth a visit too. The steps are indeed somewhat hidden, The Hidden Garden Steps are within walking distance of the 16th and Moraga Tiled Steps - another ‘must see’ site. If you approach the steps from the top they are indeed hidden. I loved the vibrant colors and the details, especially the small animals and local flowers were fascinating. The orange red poppies made me happy to watch.

San Francisco | Reviews: Excellent value tasting, We came here on a Monday night and it was just us which allowed for a more informative tasting. We had a 5 glass flight each, I had the ‘Mix it Up’ flight for $20 and my wife had the ‘Seeing Red’ for $30.
We basically shared the two flights and right throughout had a great chat to the guy serving, unfortunately I can’t remember his name. He told us a lot about not only the wines and the wineries, but about the wine maker and we just talked wine regions around the world for about an hour. We had a great time!, Traveled as a couple A must stop on any trip!, I admittedly have been here before, but it had been over a year. We had some time to kill before a late flight home and wanted to do a little more California wine tasting which relaxing.
The bartender was one of the funniest and friendliest I have ever encountered in a wine-tasting room or wine bar. He immedietly put us (and all the other guests) at ease and we all interacted at the bar as if we were family (well, without the drama).
There are multiple wine tastings to choose from (or wines by the glass). The prices range from $20-35 for a tasting of 5 wines, which is probably one of the most reasonable tasting costs in and around San Francisco. The wines are good, although there will always be some you like and don't like, the quality was far surpassing the cost of the tasting.
The bartender was slightly lacking on wine-knowledge, but he admitted when he did not know something and was eager to find an answer or learn. I was very happy to walk away with a few bottles.
We can't wait to come back and see what changes in the wines and the space. I hear there may be food coming in the near future? Hidden gem at the edge of Fisherman’s Wharf., Upon stepping into the tasting room, the atmosphere and decor feels like you have been transported to Rioja or Tuscany. The staff is so knowledgeable, attentive and friendly. They have a wonderful selection of wines from small California boutique wineries across multiple regions. You can choose from various tastings, wines by the glass, bottles or let them know your preferences and they’ll customize a tasting for you. Kostas and Christopher made great recommendations after I let them know the types of varietals I prefer. I’ll definitely be bringing friends who come to visit SF., Traveled with friends | https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g60713-d1468199-Reviews-Winery_Collective-San_Francisco_California.html | 4 | Winery Collective | categories: Wineries & Vineyards | Description: Taste over 50 wines from more than two dozen boutique wineries across California while visiting Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco.

San Francisco | Reviews: Entrance to ChinaTown, The most visible and iconic landmark to enter Chinatown; from here you know you are officially in the town. The street is where shopping begins. There are shops right in front with gigantic bronze statues where you can take photos and begin your exploration and sightseeing and pose for the picture in front of the gate. Nice entrance to Chinatown, This is a great start to your Chinatown visit. But don’t forget there are a few other streets than Grant to visit in Chinatown. If you time your picture you can avoid cars getting in the way.
Chinatown closes down around 17:00/18:00 a few (very few) restaurants from what we saw remain open after 18:00. So go during the day., Traveled with friends Iconic Chinatown Gate, Stop and take a photo here. Our taxi driver told us that Dragon's Gate was the center of Chinatown. It is located at the intersection of Grant Avenue and Bush Street. We were the only tourists in the area. Chinatown which was once a busy tourist destination is now like a ghost town.
