San Francisco in three days
San FranciscoCalifornia, United States 🇺🇸What I send every friend who visits. Pack layers — it's 55°F and foggy in July, and yes, I'm serious.
-
Walk across the Golden Gate Bridge Start at the Welcome Center on the city side. Turn back at the north tower if the wind wins.
-
Take the ferry to Alcatraz Book two weeks out. The night tour if you can get it.
-
Lands End Trail to the Sutro Baths Late afternoon. The labyrinth is halfway; the bridge shows up if the fog lets it.
-
A burrito in the Mission La Taqueria or El Farolito. Ask five locals, get five answers.
-
Morning bun at Tartine Before nine, or be ready for the line.
-
Ferry Building on a Saturday morning Farmers market until two. Oysters at the back.
-
Sunset from Twin Peaks Clear evenings only. Bring a jacket, even in summer.
-
An afternoon in Dolores Park Top corner by the J-Church tracks for the skyline.
-
Ride the Powell–Hyde cable car Hang off the side. Board at the Hyde Street end; the line's shorter.
-
The sea lions at Pier 39 The only Fisherman's Wharf stop worth making.
