Best Things to Do in San Francisco
San Francisco may only stretch across seven miles, but it's packed with an assortment of activities that’s sure to please outdoorsy types, foodies, and curious wanderers of all ages. The Golden Gate Bridge is a must-see, while a visit to Alcatraz Island to tour the infamous, and now closed (to prisoners at least) federal prison should also be high on your list. And instead of spending all your time around the touristy Fisherman’s Wharf, you can discover a more authentic side of San Francisco by strolling through the diverse Mission District or the charming Nob Hill and Russian Hill.
