Attractions and Tips

The chief tourist attraction in San Francisco is the Golden Gate Bridge. A ferry can take you to both the bridge and Alcatraz.

Nearby Golden Gate Park lets you take in the 2,000 species of plants at the Conservatory of Flowers or see the fish at the aquarium.

Shoppers should enjoy Chinatown; San Francisco's is one of the largest outside China and offers great opportunities for dining and shopping, as does the waterfront neighborhood of Fisherman's Wharf.

Tourists who want to be in the heart of everything should stay downtown, in SoMa or in Fisherman's Wharf, while budget-conscious travelers should stay in one of the smaller places in Nob Hill or the Marina District. Consider purchasing a CityPASS for discounted admission to attractions and public transportation. Temperatures stay near the 50s and 60s year-round.
