I leave for San Francisco tomarrow for vaction. What is there to do?

I plan to go to the Golden Gate Bridge, go to Alcatraz, go to Lombard St., go to the wharf, go see the oakland a's by taking the BART since the giants aren't in town. I might go to the explanatourium. I probably won't go to the zoo. I will og to Chinatown. Any thing else I should add to my list?I leave for San Francisco tomarrow for vaction. What is there to do?
My recommendations:

Visit the Golden Gate National Recreation Area.

Take a boat tour of the bay.

Take the ferry to Sausalito and spend an afternoon there.

Visit the San Francisco Ferry Building Marketplace

Visit Pier 39 (Fisherman’s Wharf)

Visit Coit Tower on Telegraph Hill

Take a cable car ride

Visit the cable car museum

Have cocktails at the “Top of the Mark” located atop the San Francisco InterContinental Hotel. The panoramic view of the skyline is great!

View the San Francisco skyline from Treasure Island during the day and at night there is the reflection of the skyline in the water.

Take a drive down Hwy. 1, it’s a beautiful drive along the coast, and see the Monterey Bay Aquarium. That's where they filmed the aquarium scenes in the film “Star Trek IV – The Voyage Home.”I leave for San Francisco tomarrow for vaction. What is there to do?
pier 39
Eat at Joe's Crab Shack and watch the crazy people walk by. Seriously, there is this guy who hides behind the bushes with some fake plants and then jumps out at people. I saw him, and I saw him on tv, too.I leave for San Francisco tomarrow for vaction. What is there to do?
if u want to stay get lost
Sounds like you have it all already planned! Just be on the look out for a lot of street entertainers! There is one who sits at Pier 39 (also a great place to visit)...and he sits behind bushes and scares people when they walk by! It's funny as heck! He is the famous bush man! Look him up on the internet!



Have fun!I leave for San Francisco tomarrow for vaction. What is there to do?
Take the Ferry from Fisherman's Wharf to Saucelito.
You're basically hitting a lot of the tourist attractions. Living in the bay area my entire life has shown me the best thing about the city is it's fabulous food and night life. My advice, eat as much as you can while there. If you see a dumpy hole in the wall, try it - I'm sure it'll be awesome.

Have a great time!

If you have a whole day, go to Golden Gate Park. Start at the beach and just walk ... the park is four long blocks wide and extremely long. There are many different things you can see in the park, from a herd of buffalo to windmills to several different museums ... art, science, etc. When you get to the 'city end' of the park, look at the northern side of that end, and there's another park, called The Panhandle. Walk that and you can see the wonderful Victorian houses and other buildings. Take a picnic or eat at the Japanese Garden tea house in the park. See if you can't find the George Moscone playground (adults allowed only with children) and the wonderful carousel. Have a wonderful time in S.F. It's my FAVORITE city in the whole world, and Golden Gate park is my favorite place in the city and it's not to be missed!
i went to pier 39 and got my head stuck in the merry go round so they had to close it and put a new one in. i try to avoid that now. there is a movie theater with the largest indoor theater screen in the nation. and by the way. i was seven when the merry go round thing happened. :%26gt;
If you are going north at all there is Bodega bay with a great beach and of course it's where the birds was shot by Hitchcock. There is Marine world Africa USA in Vallejo, I believe they still have a cable car ride, Balloon rides, Lots of good theater. If you are only going for a week or so you won't have enough time to see it all. Go to the open air market near UC Berkley if you want to see some diverse culture. Enjoy the trip!
Good choice going to an A's game! The Giants ballpark is actually really nice though so you should atleast walk by there and check it out. The zoo sucks anyway, you're not missing much. Go to Baker Beach, it's a beautiful beach and the weather this week is in the 80s. Go to Ocean Beach, you can even have bonfires there at night. Have fun, it's the best city in the world!
Yes all the places you mentioned go to San Francisco.

Pier 39 on your list, JapanTown but I reccomend going to Chinatown better, Golden Gate park.



I've been living in San Francisco all my life for 15 years,but Im moving to New York City in 2011.

=[

Im going to miss San Francisco A LOT!!
Ive just come back. You already have the main things sussed. Muir Woods is another great place to go. You will love Alcatraz. Have a great time!
