If you only have a few hours in SF skip Alcatraz and Fisherman's Wharf and see the real SF!
Here a a few things that are close together and will allow you to see a good portion of the city in just a few hours.
Start at Buena Vista Gardens, [South of Market between 4th and 3rd streets] this urban park is home to the Museum of Modern Art the Museum of The African Diaspora, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, and the Metreon can keep you entertained for hours. Nearby is the Cartoon Art Museum the only museum in the world devoted to the promotion and preservation of theatre arts.
From South of Market walk to Chinatown, the most densely populated portion of San Francisco offers an abundance of shopping, food and unique architecture found outside of Asia. The best place to buy souvenirs to take home to friends and family.
Chinatown blends into North Beach at Broadway. This traditionally Italian section of the city which has no beach but abounds in quaint shops, great restaurants and The City鈥檚 best coffee options.
From North Beach climb Telegraph Hill to 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.
Make your way south along the Embarcadero and have a meal, coffee, or drink at the Ferry Building which houses many great food shops.
as a SF native, if I were visiting I can tell you that if I had only two hours, I would visit North Beach and walk the neighborhood before having a great Italian meal at Little Joes. You will be able to experience a little of the Italian and Chinatown sections of town and a great meal at one of the local favorites. You should know though that this is just a tiny slice of SF... there is so much more!Fun places to visit in downtown San Francisco?
Climb to the top of Coit Tower and get a view of the whole city, including both bridges. The Ferry Building is a neat experience with some wonderful food. And of course Fisherman's Wharf has wonderful seafood. Make sure to keep going along the pier (as the numbers climb) past pier 39 until you get to the seafood stalls that have wonderful fresh soups and other seafood!
Walk/drive around, especially Lombard street and the surrounding area. Alcatraz is a must see. There are great restaurants, especially in North Beach (Little Italy).Fun places to visit in downtown San Francisco?
Fisherman's Wharf and Pier 37 are my favorites.
Alcatraz is fun too, but would take up all your time it sounds like.
san francisco honestly sucks. trust me, i live here.
