Hey, I plan to take a San Francisco tour next month. So could you recommend me the must-sees of it.

Don't just say the Golden Gate Bridge. I have visited it. Give me more suggestions. By the way, I have 4 days for my San Francisco tour.

Answer 1

Golden Gate Park

Coit Tower and the Filbert Street Steps

Take a cruise on the bay - visit alcatraz, go to Tiberon or Saulasalito just get out on the bay for an incredible view of the city from the water.

Walk the city, it is compact and the best way to see any city is to walk it!

Answer 2

china town

union square

mission

Except the Golden Gate Bridge, you can go to visit Chinatown. There you can exprience the full-bodied Chinese Culture.

Answer 4

This kind of questions are posted very often in here. So I will post my top-list of must see things in the city. Hope it helps

MARKET STREET; This street cuts across the city from the northheast to the southeast. This is a perfect place to start a tour. The departure for cable cars is at the junction of Powell St and Market. Just taking a walk on Market is a great experience.

ALAMO SQUARE; Is one of the prettiest squares in SF and one which offers a much-photographed view of the skyline. It's surrounded by a fine collection of "Painted Ladies", as the magnificent Victorian houses are called.

GOLDEN GATE PARK: This expansive and beautiful park is full of blooming flowers, tall trees and gushing waterfalls.If you want to have a moment of peace just go to this park.

TELEGRAPH HILL AND COIT TOWER: A wonderful view opens out across San Francisco Bay. You can take expectacular pictures from this point.

GRACE CATHEDRAL: It was inspired by Notre Dame in Paris. I love architecture and for this reason I found so beautiful this cathedral.

HAIGHT ASHBURY: This area became synonymous with the hippy movement in the 60's. These days it's more gentrified, but the counterculture is still represented by offbeat stores selling vintage clothes, funky jewelry, smoking paraphernalia, posters and records.

EMBARCADERO: You can visit the old building located in here. In addition, you can get really cool pictures of the Bay Bridge from this place.Just walk to the right side of the building I think it says" Pier 14" on its entrance.

CHINATOWN: This is a very beautiful place to see a lot of theChinese culture. IN addition, you can get some cool souvenirs in here.

COIT TOWER: I great place to get a panoramic view of San Francisco.

Notice I have re posted this list from one of my previous answers ok

Have a good Trip!!

Answer 5

You can walk around Pier 39, FIsherman's wharf and go to Alcatraz (buy your tix before you come)

Chinatown - try Dim sum

Tour of AT&T Park

North Beach - old Italian Section

Visit Coit Tower

Walk/Drive down Lombard Street

Golden Gate Park - De Young Museum and Conservatory of Flowers

Ferry Building (Located at the Embarcadero)

The Metreon

Cable car rides

MOMA

A ferry ride to Sausalito or Tiburon would be a great add.You can actually bike across the bridge and take the sausalito ferry back into the city.

If you like Shopping, San Francisco Centre and Union Square is a must

For checking out the diversity of SF, walk these neighborhoods: You could spend almost a full day in each of these

The Castro District

Marina District

Haight/Ashbury

Mission District (only in the day time)

Take the Golden Gate Transit to muir Woods and hike around for the day.

Go to 511 to get info about how to get a weeklong bus pass. or to get bus routes necessary.

Restaurants:

Lunches- Farmers Market (at the Ferry Building), Mission (La Cumbre, El Toro, or La Tacqueria), Swan Oyster Depot, Mitchell's Ice Cream. You can also get decent food in the basement of San Francisco Centre.

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