Boldevin http://www.boldevin.com/?p=282 Out of the places I've been to in the US, San Francisco is definetly one of my favorites. I've been there 3 times, and I always seem to find something new to see or do every time I'm there. My recommendations for San Franciso are the following:

  • Take a picture in front of the Golden Gate bridge (from the opposite side, with SF in the background)
  • Ride the Cable Cars
  • Visit Chinatown and it's novelty and heritage art stores
  • Shop for food or eat in the Ferry terminal building
  • Go to Alcatraz, but make sure you book your ticket well in advance. During tourist season there's a minimum 3 day wait, and that's the reason I've never been there.
  • Drive down Lombard Street
  • Visit a thrift store in the Castro neighbourhood (the gayer part of SF)
  • Go shopping in North Beach
  • Visit pier 39, but don't feed the seals (it's not allowed)
  • Eat at Fishermans Wharf
  • Go shopping at or around Union Square
  • Eat at 21st amendment and try the home brewed beer
  • Take ferry ride to Sausalito (a rich suburb, and very idyllic)

If you rent a car there are several other options aswell, like:

  • Visit the Redwoods at Muir Woods (North of SF)
  • Visit the UC Berkeley campus
  • Shop at Great Mall in Union City (The biggest mall on the west coast)

Please write me a comment if you'd like more information on any of the tings listed here, I'd be happy to help. And now for some pictures!
