Going to San Fransisco what is there to do there???

Question

can you leave and address or name of a location

Answer 1

Check out google maps, you will find a tonne of landmarks that people have bookmarked.

Answer 2

You can walk around Pier 39, FIsherwman's wharf and go to Alcatraz (buy your tix before you come), but try to do some of other SF's gems:

Chinatown - try Dim sum

Tour of AT&T Park

North Beach - old Italian Section

Walk/Bike across Golden Gate Bridge

Walk/Drive down Lombard Street

Golden Gate Park - De Young Museum and Conservatory of Flowers

Ferry Building (Located at the Embarcadero)

The Metreon

MOMA

A ferry ride to Sausalito or Tiburon would be a great add.

If you like Shopping, San Francisco Center.Union Square is a must

For checking out the diversity of SF, walk these neighborhoods:

The Castro District

Marina District

Haight/Ashbury

Restaurants:

Lunches- Farmers Market (at the Ferry Building), Mission (La Cumbre, El Toro, or La Tacqueria), Swan Oyster Depot, Mitchell's Ice Cream

Possible Dinners: Slanted Door, Zuni, Foreign Cinema, Boulevard, Chow, or for a special but very pricey treat, Gary Danko!

Answer 3

we visit San Fran at least 3x's a year.these are all recommended places that we have gone before. excluding the zoo(boo)

best to plan ahead for best deals. things can tend to get a bit costly. but there are so many ways to enjoy the city with no extra cost (gas maybe) sight seeing with a good guide map is the best way to go cheap.  

north beach: surfers by day and Bonn fires at night
