I really love going to drive down Highway one from San Franciso into Half Moon Bay. Great stops along the way for Clam Chowder and a glass of wine while looking at the lovely Pacific Coast. Do it!

Ocean Beach is pretty cold and not really for swimming, but if it's not cold there will be bonfires here at night.

A cool place especially if you get a table outside in the courtyard. Food is good too but nothing that special.

Perhaps the best american city that I know. Not too large and very close to excellent places like Lake Tahoe or redwood forests. I wasn't bored during the two weeks spent there and around.
leo from Finland wrote about San Francisco 5 years, 10 months ago
Loved the place. Lots of small cafes and breakfast places. Nice weather at least the time I spent there and for those that are into the startup-life this is probably the best place to be. Lots of activities like hiking and skiing within a short drive.
briansolis from USA wrote about San Francisco 5 years, one month ago
Even though the city is only 7 x 7 miles, it takes time to get across the city. Public transportation is effective. Cabs can be expensive simply because of the constant stop and go and one way streets.
jjlaine from Finland wrote about USS Hornet 4 years, one month ago
You always think an aircraft carrier is a big metal clot and floating on water is the last thing you'd expect it to do. When you climb on the deck of USS Hornet you realize it's HUGE. To see everything takes time. There are guided tours for each part eg. engine room, bridge etc. For us war fans the whole visit took about four hours.
I still fancy visiting some contemporary nuke carrier. The Nimitz class for example is almost double the size of this Essex-class. :oO

If you want to get a nice view over SF go to Twin Peaks. Otherwise it's nothing special but the view is great.

If you go to Golden Gate Park, be sure to wander off the beaten path and check out the secret Shakespeare Rose Garden and rent a row boat at Stow Lake.
mxaddison from USA wrote about South Park 5 years, 3 months ago
For those of you who are technology geeks, you need to visit South Park Circle to witness the epicenter of the Dot.Com craziness (and now the Web 2.0 craziness). Dozens of start-ups are sprinkled among the apartments and industrial warehouses, the cafes are filled with programmers, and Wired Magazine's offices are around the corner. There is also a bit of San Francisco history to the place: the circle at one time was the location of opulent Victorian-era homes before they were burned down in the 1906 earthquake and fire. Things look a bit rattier now.
rexdixon from USA wrote about San Francisco 5 years, 3 months ago
Hotel des Arts - If you like a bed, bathroom, closet, desk and free WiFi at affordable prices, this is the place for you. I was at first taken back by the raw interior and an actual door key - not a card. After a day or so adjusting, it really wasn't a bad deal. The nice thing, the final bill. There is probably no place in San Francisco where you can get a room for this cheap. You may read other complaints online about the noise or the construction. I just stayed there in February 2008, and there was none of that. Located on Bush St., you are right there in the heart of the city.

King George Hotel - My first time in the city of San Francisco, I stayed here. The prices were decent and the staff was very nice. Surrounded by all the nice attractions that Union Square offers, it's a really decent deal and sits in the shadows of the more expensive Hyatt or Hilton. It's definitely a place I would stay again, and yes, like most places these days - free wifi - a must!

mxaddison from USA wrote about San Francisco Cable Car Barn 5 years, 3 months ago
Everybody knows San Francisco's cable cars, and you owe it to yourself to visit the Cable Car barn and crawl underground to see how they actually work. The entire network of cable cars are powered by just 4 steel cables that snake through the city--and are powered by 4 massive motors with 30' diameter pulleys. This is not a slick, polished tourist museum. This is the original brick building where you can smell the grease and hear the loud hum of the motors. Fascinating!
fcassel from Sweden wrote about W Hotel San Francisco 5 years ago
Excellent hotel. Good location, stylish lobby bar and good service. Last time, I left a shirt behind in my room. A phonecall and three days later, it was delivered to me at the other side of the globe. Free of charge. Incredible.

A good club for popular music and a younger crowd is Slide. They have a slide you can ride down to actually get into the club. Usually a line on the weekends, but it goes quickly.

it's the best city in the US. Pretty small, fun and close to different outdoor sports places like Tahoe.

We stopped here to watch the huge waves unrelentlesly break into the big rocks on the shore. An awesome sight! Well worth the stop. Watch out for the slippery rocks!
mxaddison from USA wrote about Redwood Bar 5 years, 3 months ago
Looking at all the short skirts and hot young people here, it's hard to imagine that this historic bar once hosted the mega-rich San Francisco industrialists in the early 1900s. The Redwood Bar (its original name) is located inside the Clift Hotel and was designed by famous French designer Philip Stark. Get in here before 10:00pm because a line starts to form. If you are a hotel guest or you are eating at the restaurant (Asia de Cuba) you can call ahead and reserve a table.
mxaddison from USA wrote about The Fillmore 5 years, 3 months ago
For a taste of hippie San Francisco and the psychedelic era, you much attend a concert at 'The Fillmore' auditorium. The walls are dripping with history as they display concert posters dating from present all the way back to the 1960's. From the hardwood floors to the 14 crystal chandeliers, this is not your ordinary concert hall. It's fairly small place, so if you get there before the opening act begins you can get a spot within arm's reach of the stage. Bands that play there today stand in awe of all the famous names who walked that stage before them. That extra vibe usually ensures an amazing performance.

We were visiting a friend living in SF and seeing and doing what's worth it in the city and surrounding area. SF is perhaps the best city in the US being small (on the US scale) and close to a broad set of great activities like Lake Tahoe and redwood forests etc.
juha from Finland wrote about Bean Hollow State Beach Viewpoint 4 years, one month ago
A really cool spot to stop and go see the ocean pounding to the rocks on the shore. Something you don't see every day even if we have lots of sea and lakes in Finland. Definitely worth a short break on your way to the south. Take video and photos!
juha from Finland wrote about Cheesecake Factory 4 years, one month ago
We went to lunch/dinner many times here. It's just great. Lots of good food with not so bad prices. And the location is great, just on Union Square close to all the shops in case you're going shopping!
juha from Finland wrote about Twin Peaks 4 years, one month ago
The highest peak in SF offering great views over the city. Very touristy but definitely something you got to do once.
juha from Finland wrote about Foreign Cinema Restaurant 4 years, one month ago
The food is not that great (it's good but it's not the reason to make the visit) but otherwise it's a pretty cool restaurant. You can sit outside and watch "foreign" films. Mostly European i.e. non-Hollywood films that is.

kautbort wrote about San Francisco 3 years, 7 months ago
San Francisco city is city in United State of California. This is the metropolitan city and contains many of big attraction and more recreational places. The hills area and golden gate bridge is famous in the city. Every year many people visit in the city and this is the spot of attractions.
San Francisco was the last but not least destination of my vacations. After four month I got another chance to visit. Now that time I want to visit to other locations that make and adventure in my vacation. In my office colleagues suggest to me to visit in San Francisco. Before to visit this place
I got all information about the city by other people in my office where, when and at which is right for visiting. After that I need the hotels to stay in the city for six days. So I book the <a href="http://www.hotelsatanywhere.com/usa/ca/san-francisco-hotels/">heap hotels in san francesco</a> at beautiful locations. And also confirm my ticket by internet. My plane arrived at San Francisco International.
Airport was well furnished and contains the numbers of the other amenities like shopping and restaurants and many more. From airport I got the bus to visit forward and reach to my hotel. The hotel was well attractive and near to the spot places. There some places I was visit are Golden Gate Park, Lincoln Park and some museums I got adventure and great enjoyments that make vacations so remember able.
And other San Francisco Zoo was so adventure activities to see the wild life. At the beaches the many adventure activities that I got there like swimming, fishing, biking and many more. In San Francisco great fun of the nightlife that so adventurous and excited that cant forget it. The city attractions and <a href="http://www.hotelsatanywhere.com/">discount hotels</a> such the great combinations of the vacations days.

wempydyoctakoto from USA wrote about San Francisco 2 years, 8 months ago
San Francisco is one of the most beautiful cities in the world to visit and also one of the most beautiful cities to live at. There's a lot to do with all the standard postcard icons such as The Golden Gate, Lombard, North Beach, Embarcadero, Mission and Union Square. However, the true jewels of San Francisco are its hidden gems. Apart from running to Sausalito and watching time pass by on weekend afternoons at Dolores Park, my personal favourite place to be at San Francisco on Sunday evenings is The Revolution Cafe on 22nd Street off the Mission and Valencia. Grab a cuppa warm milk, coffee, tea or whatever you fancy and enjoy the finest musicians in the city hobbled by the corner playing classical, jazz and blues. A perfect way to end the weekend and start the new week ahead.
A uniquely San Francisco experience.
joemilner wrote about Half Moon Bay 2 years, 7 months ago
Half Moon Bay coastal area has some excellent trails. Hikes that go up with fantastic ocean views, ocean bluffs, redwood forests. Something for everyone. Along Hwy 35 which is the spine of the Santa Cruz Mtns are many open space hiking trails.
Excellent overnight accommodations and destination restaurants.
Weather is overstated. Winter, Spring, and Fall are great with summer surprises.

The San Francisco Zoo is home to a stunning and important botanical collection as well as several hundreds of species of animals, many of which are highly endangered. From the smallest insect to the tallest giraffe, you are going to find a story that touches and inspires you. The animals, exhibits and plants are just some of the wonderful things you can experience in this urban oasis nestled against the Pacific Ocean.
