What's there to do in San Francisco?
Golden Gate Bridge
San Francisco's iconic landmark and one of our favorite sights on a clear day. The best viewing spots for the bridge are from the trail along Crissy Field, China Beach, and the Land's End trail.
Golden Gate Park
Did you know that San Francisco's Golden Gate park is home to 6 bison? California Academy of Science (where we met!), De Young Museum, Japanese Tea Garden, Botanical Gardens, and Conservatory of Flowers are all also in the park.
Fisherman's Wharf/Pier 39
This area is usually crowded on weekends, as there are a lot of tourists, street performers, variety of seafood, and other things going on. However, the sea lions are a neat feature of the city and can be seen lounging around on the pier.
San Francisco Museum of Modern Art
SF MOMA reopened in 2016 to be one of the largest museums of modern art in the world.
Lombard St.
The iconic windy street. It is close to pier 39, but you have to climb a small hill to get to this section.
Ferry building
A lively mall for local merchants and the place to catch a ferry. Venturing to Sausalito makes for a nice trip across the bay or you can get lunch followed by the Humphry Slocombe Secret Breakfast ice cream.
Exploratorium
Indulge your curiosity by playing around with numerous interactive exhibits at the Exploratorium. Makes for great fun for kids and adults alike!
Alcatraz
If you'd like to tour the old prison, make sure to book your tickets a few months in advance! Otherwise, takings the ferry from Sausalito will give you a nice view on its way to San Francisco.
Cinderella Bakery
One of our favorite hidden gems for Russian food. The bakery has been serving San Francisco since 195.
Hong Kong Lounge
Our favorite place to grab dim sum (chao shu bao!) with friends and family. Hong Kong Lounge II is also good, but the waits can be longer. As you can see, it can be quite popular!
Farmer Brown
Looking for fried chicken or southern food? This is one of our favorite places to go.
Arsicault Bakery
Bon Appetit named Arsicault the best new bakery in the country in 2016 for their flaky, buttery, and scrumptious croissants. The croissants are indeed amazing!
Bi-Rite Creamery
Some of the best specialty ice cream in the city. Earl grey ice cream is our favorite.
Boba Guys
One of our favorite boba (bubble tea) shops in the city. The lines are long but worth the wait!
Urban Putt
Indoor miniature golf + food + drinks = fun times for everyone. It’s worth going to see the creative designs and to test your skills at geometry! The entire 14 hole course fits inside the first floor of a house.
Upcider
A cider gastropub with about 20-30 different ciders that are frequently rotated.
Top of the Mark
Located on the penthouse floor of the Intercontinental hotel, it boasts a spectacular 360 view of the city. Come here at 4PM to watch the sun set and grab a cocktail.
