This beautiful old red-orange bridge has become the defining symbol of the Bay Area. The bridge is easy to approach by car or bus. Once you're there, walk or bicycle across to slowly savor the experience. There's no bad time to cross the bridge – unless you're a commuter in rush-hour traffic. The views are spectacular by day or night. On the north side, the Vista Point parking lot is free and open every day from 7am to 7pm, but there's a four-hour limit. The Southeast parking lot is metered, so bring some quarters. Vista Point, on the Marin side of the bridge, is one of the most popular picture-taking spots in the Bay Area.

Get up early and greet the sunrise and brisk bay air with a hearty walk on the piers and along Jefferson Street, making sure to take a turn into Fish Alley. Known for its historic waterfront, delicious seafood, spectacular sights and unique shopping, Fisherman’s Wharf offers a wide array of things to do for everyone. The opening of crab season in November is a festive occasion. It is the day when the cauldrons along Fisherman's Wharf are lighted, ready to receive the boxes piled high with Dungeness crab hoisted from the decks of the first boats that come chuffing back into port. It is a time for gourmet feasting that will last through the weeks and months to follow.

“The Crookedest Street in the World”, a moniker stemming from the fact that, in 1922, city engineers crammed eight cobblestone switchbacks into a single steep block of Lombard. The goal was to provide relief from the hair-raising slope; the inadvertent result was a tourist site. Hairpin turns are only part of the attraction. Lombard's crazy-curve block is lined with handsome houses and adorned with copious hydrangeas. The high point, atop Russian Hill, offers stupendous views of the San Francisco Bay, Alcatraz, and the city. Add to this the fact that the Hyde Street cable car deposits visitors at the top of the picturesque incline and the Crookedest Street could hardly have escaped notice.

Escape from the mainland to this legendary prison for a thrilling tour behind bars. Perhaps the most famous ex-jail in the world, "The Rock" draws thousands. We recommend the Blue and Gold Fleet, departing from Pier 41 up to 16 times a day. Be sure and get the audio tour, a magnificently done pastiche of history and recreation. Alcatraz is Spanish for "Pelican".

Much more than a tourist attraction - one of the city's most culturally aware, culinary delectable neighborhoods. With its crowded streets, bustling markets, mysterious alleys, hidden temples and busy restaurants, Chinatown is San Francisco's most colorful neighborhood. It is also among the most famous, and therefore teems with visitors. A formal tour of Chinatown starts at the Chinatown Gateway, a dragon-crowned portal located on the corner of Bush and Grant. Originally known as Dupont Street, the road was notorious for its opium dens and gambling halls.

An eye-catching landmark featuring “Work Progress Administration” murals and beautiful views. As a tribute to the men who tried to save San Francisco in 1906, Lilly Coit designated that her legacy be used for the beautification of her beloved city. The views here are spectacular, but if you want to look out from the tower's top, you'd best go during daylight, as Coit Tower generally closes at 5pm. If you don't like heights, look in nearby trees; believe it or not, a flock of wild parrots lives in the neighborhood.

The neighborhood that is now Japantown (Nihonmachi) is approximately one mile west of Union Square and is part of San Francisco’s Western Addition, a subdivision that came into being with the writing of the Van Ness Ordinance in 1855. The land then was sandy and barren, and accommodated primarily bobcats, rabbits, quail, and chaparral. In the 1870s, San Franciscans began to move to this area. They built homes in a variety of architectural styles with the Victorian influence predominating.

A remnant of San Francisco's glorious past, this exquisite arts and science complex pulses in the heart of the Marina District. Designed by architect Bernard Maybeck, the Palace of Fine Arts was built in 1915 for the Panama Pacific Exposition that celebrated both the completion of the Panama Canal and the rebirth of San Francisco following the 1906 earthquake. Built as a temporary structure, however, it soon began to crumble and was eventually reconstructed-in a stripped-down version of Maybeck's original-in the early '60s.

The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art put itself back on the map in January 1995, the day it moved downtown into Mario Botta's fab postmodern jewel with the brick facade and striped oculus skylight. The move unleashed an unprecedented flood of important acquisitions and renewed public interest. In addition to showcasing its far-ranging permanent collection, the museum serves as a frequent stopping-off point for prestigious traveling blockbusters. The museum is also a hot spot for the latest digital and high-tech installations. If you really want to see the museum, make a day of it.

The Presidio is where San Francisco began. This inspiring setting at the Golden Gate was home to native peoples for thousands of years. In 1776, Spain established a military fort on this land. After winning its independence from Spain in 1821, Mexico controlled the post and established a new pueblo nearby called Yerba Buena (later known as the city of San Francisco). In 1846 the Presidio became a U.S. Army post. Generations of soldiers passed through its gates, serving our nation around the world. The Army departed in 1994, and the Presidio became a national park site. Today, the Presidio welcomes all with its beauty, nature, history, recreation, and family activities.
