There are a lot of places to hang out in San Francisco. The great thing about this city is that there is so much to do and there is a lot of diversity. It really doesn't matter if you are a city cat, outdoors person, etc. San Francisco is very diverse and offers tons of things to do. They Remember to dress in layers.

Fisherman's Warf, Golden Gate Bridge, old china townPlaces "MUST SEE" in San Francisco? 9days?
Take a City Tour for like $40 and all the main stuff will be covered. Also maybe Alcatraz soo many peeps wanna see that. Get some seafood down in Fishermans Whart. Maybe take in a Golden State Warriors Game. Than hit the clubs in the city around North Beach
9 days is a good amount of time to see most of The City. Since you are driving park your car when in SF, it is difficult/ to find parking, lots of one way streets. Use public transporation!



Golden Gate Park is an entire day by itself, Japanese Tea Garden, DeYoung Musuem, The Arboredum, Stow Lake and watch the sun go down over the pacific at the Beach Chalet while enjoying a house brewed beer.



Walk the Golden Gate Bride.

Get out on the bay, visit Alcatraz [buy tickets in advance!], or Angel Island [bike or hike and picnic] or the ferry to Sausalito so you can see SF from the Bay.

Take at least one walking tour.

Visit Chinatown's alleys. Buy souviners here, much cheaper than other places.

What I would see/do if I had 9 days in SF:



*asian art museum

*SF MOMA

*ride cable car

*lunch in chinatown

*city lights bookstore, northbeach columbus square, great italian food

*alcatraz (amazing views) or sausalito

*amoeba records in Haight and picnic in GG park

*Japanese tea garden

*baker beach/Presidio or ocean beach near seal rock

*GG Bridge

*drive down portola to market street, most beautiful view of the city and bay

*dinner and drinks in the Mission, Castro

*drive north on 1 to stinson beach, eat seafood at a restaurant on the way (go all the way to point reyes if you have time - it's crazy - the foggiest place in the world)



fisherman's wharf is lame. but if you go to alcatraz you'll have to go there, just don't spend the whole day there, lump it in with the cable car ride and northbeach. avoid the Sunset.



Have fun- it's an amazing city.
