Fun in San Francisco

Sightseeing

  • Golden Gate Bridge

    Walk the Golden Gate Bridge. The Golden Gate Bridge is an iconic symbol of San Francisco and our most popular tourist destination. Visitors may access the bridge sidewalks during daylight hours for an up-close look at an architectural wonder across all or part of its 1.7 mile span. The bridge's unique orange color improves visability during San Francisco's persistent fog.

  • San Francisco cable car

    Ride a cable car over Nob Hill. San Francisco cable cars are the only moving national monument and an efficient way to scale San Francisco hills. Two main lines link Union Square with Ghiradelhi Square (Hyde line) and Fisherman's Wharf (Mason line) long the Bay coast. I prefer the sweeping vistas of the Hyde line and its direct access to the San Francisco waterfront.

Dining

San Francisco is a thriving culinary city with direct access to fresh ingredients from the sea, local farms, and artistic craftsmen.

Expense account
