Pont Golden Gate

1. Take a stroll in Golden Gate park

This infamous prison, now a museum, is a key highlight of any San Francisco trip. The unique experience starts with a boat ride from San Francisco’s port to the island where the prison is located. Once there, you can tour Alcatraz and listen to audio guides featuring accounts from former guards and inmates. This activity is sure to give you chills and evoke strong emotions, so don’t wait—book your flight to San Francisco now!

Lombard Street

3. Ride a Cable Car

A ride on these iconic, colorful, and vintage tramcars is a delightful experience for both children and adults! Explore the city from a unique perspective while enjoying the charm of these historic vehicles.

Did you know? San Francisco’s steep streets, especially Lombard Street, known for its beautiful spring flowers and as the most winding street in the country with a 40-degree incline, make the cable car an essential mode of transport.

Note: Lombard Street can only be driven downhill.

4. Admire the city from Twin Peaks

No, it’s not the TV series of the same name, but the two natural hills of San Francisco that haven’t been developed. They offer a stunning panoramic view of the city and are another must-see during your stay in San Francisco.
