Must Do San Francisco



1. Ride a Cable Car, the only moving historical landmark in the world. Stop off at the Cable Car Barn at Washington and Mason to get a full understanding of this unique form of transportation. Riding the Powell Hyde line will allow you to see Lombard Street the famous crooked street.



2. Visit Alcatraz, this former prison is the most popular destination in San Francisco. The bay cruise to and from the island will give you the opportunity to see the skyline from the water a unique perspective. During the height of tourist season it is wise to purchase tickets before you arrive as tours are often sold out days to a week in advance.

3. Visit Coit Tower, Beautiful murals inside, impressive bay view from the tower or Pioneer Park at the base. Then descend Telegraph hill via the Filbert Steps on the East side of the park for a unique view of how folks on Telegraph Hill live, more beautiful bay views and the chance to hear and see the famous Parrots of Telegraph Hill.



4. Golden Gate Bridge, not just a feat of engineering, this 1.7 mile span offers incredible views of The City, the bay and the Pacific ocean. Be sure to visit Ft. Point under the bridge for a different view of this San Francisco Icon.



5. Explore Golden Gate Park, this large urban park can consume a whole day. The New Academy Science, Japanese Tea Garden, Deyoung Museum [American Art], the Arboretum, Bison Paddock, and Paddle boats are all worth a look and watch the sun go down over the Pacific over a drink or dinner at the Beach Chalet.



6. Chinatown, the most densely populated portion of San Francisco offers the largest Chinese center for shopping, food and unique architecture found outside of Asia. The best place to buy souvenirs to take home to friends and family.



7. North Beach, traditionally the Italian section of the city which has no beach but abounds in quaint shops, great restaurants and The City鈥檚 best coffee options.



8. Civic Center, the largest collection of Beaux Arts buildings in the US. Home to San Francisco City Hall, with a dome larger than the US Capital, the Asian Art Museum and the Modern San Francisco Library with its San Francisco History Room housing an eclectic collection of city artifacts and photographs.



9. Buena Vista Gardens, this urban park is home to; the Museum of Modern Art the Museum of The African Diaspora, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, Contemporary Jewish Museum, Cartoon Art Museum and the Metreon will keep you entertained for hours.



10. Twin Peaks, see The City and the bay spread out at your feet. Especially captivating at night when the lights seem to go on for ever.What are some of the best things to do in San Francisco?
The wax museum, whale watching, Golden Gate Park are excellent sights. There's almost no limits for how many very interesting museums like the wax museum you can find. The Tea garden inside the Golden Gate Park is also a great place to have a cup of tea. Not to mention the occasional free concert!What are some of the best things to do in San Francisco?

I love going down to the Embarcadero on Saturday mornings where they have some art booths and the farmer's market - quite an experience.



Also, going to Academy of Arts and Sciences on THursday nights for Nightlife where you can enjoy the museum kid free and drink - very trendy thing to do but you MUST buy tickets in advance.



Golden Gate park - japanese garden then take the bus to Japan town which is fun. Lots of interesting little shops.



Daytrips outside of San Fran that I love are Santa Cruz area and the boardwalk. I also like doing a day trip to Monterrey or to Big Sur
The Exploratorium is a must. It is a huge interactive science museum with some of the most interesting exhibits I have ever seen.



Just window shopping downtown is pretty fun.



Take a cable car from the inner city to Fisherman's wharf, and go check out the Ripley's Believe it or not Museum. Its like going to a side show in six different contents, (Its more cool stuff than gross.) Plus there is a one way mirror that you can watch unaware guests make a fool of themselves.
