SAN FRANCISCO

San Francisco, the city of cable cars and home of the Golden Gate Bridge! I’ve visited this city twice already and I still want to go back. Below are some tip and suggestions if you were to visit San Francisco!

Tips:

  • Do not rent a car. There will be no place for you to park and it’ll cost you around $70 for Hotel Parking. San Francisco has plenty of ways you can get around: so rent a bike, ride the cable cars, take an Uber/Lyft.
  • The only time i would rent a car is to drive into napa and then return the car when you get back in San Francisco
  • When booking flights, look to see if Oakland is cheaper because it’s the same distance as SFO airport to get into the city.

Things to do, Places to see:

  • Bike across the Golden Gate Bridge
  • Hideout at Kirby’s Cove
  • Catch a view at Land’s End- you may even see whales!
  • Hang out at the Golden Gate Park
  • Take a photo at the Palace of Fine Arts
  • Eat and Stroll through Pier 39
  • Book in advance (90 days) to tour the Alcatraz Prison
  • Visit the 5 story mall: Westfield
  • Check out the Sutro Baths
  • Visit Point Bonita Lighthouse
  • Check out Lombard Street
  • Walk around Chinatown

Eat, Drink, Repeat:

  • Boba Guys: Matcha Strawberry is my fav there!
  • Steap: More boba!
  • Liholiho- they were booked up but i heard its worth the try
  • The Buena Vista: Must try their irish Coffee!
  • Scoma
  • Eat along Pier 39/Fisherman Wharf area
  • Boudin Bakery: check out how they make their sourdough breads and try the calm chowder!
  • Mr. Holmes Bakehouse: Get ready to stand in line here! It’s the most instagrammable place but is it worth the wait? not really lol
  • House of Prime Rib: definitely make reservations in advance, i still haven’t got on the books to try it yet.
