California / CITY STARTER

San Francisco

Sf City

A city of hills, waterfront views, and neighborhoods with distinct personalities. Start with a landmark, then leave room for a slower neighborhood wander.

An iconic beginning

Make the Golden Gate Bridge your scenic anchor, then build a manageable day around it.

A neighborhood afternoon

Explore North Beach for cafés and bookshops, or browse the official neighborhood guide for a different side of the city.

Follow your appetite

Choose a neighborhood before choosing a table. Leave room for a bakery stop or a relaxed café break.

Before you head out

Confirm opening hours, access, and the weather. Check SFMTA for routes, fares, accessibility, and service alerts.
