Hello,
Will be in SFO this coming april, need advise on what to do. Thanks a lot.

Hi Mike,

I have just returned from 5 days in San Francisco and assuming you are not spending all your time at the airport (SFO!!-Sorry) here is a brief list of what I did last week ( The tempreature was in the 70's, no wind, brilliant sunshine and got sunburnt on my face)

Visit Alcatraz by Ferry ( get the first ferry at 9:15 with Blue & Gold as it tends to be quieter) it is a marvellous ride and it is worth seeing

Take a cable car ride ( Powell Street Line is more scenic but gets busier during the day.earlier on the cable car back from Fishermans wharf is quieter- the California line is quieter)

Vist Coit tower on Telegraph hill for great views ($3.75 for the elevator which takes you up 200+feet)

Hire a bicycle by fishermans wharf and cycle past Fort Mason ,Crissy field and over Golden Gate Bridge for great views on a good day ($14 to hire a bike) 2hours round trip minimum

Visit the USS Pampanito (WW2 submarine), the Liberty ship and the Hyde street pier with restored ships

Chinatown

Ocean beach ( N line street car)

Fishermans wharf

Ghiradelli Square and have some ice cream and sodas ( very good).

Take the F car line (historic trolley cars from Fishermans wharf along the Embarcadero.

Take a ferry across the bay to Sausilito ( nice small town on the side of the bayand hill , Tiburon or Larkspur.

Have a great time

Do a search of San Francisco and you will bring up lots on inofrmation here from past posts. Enjoy!

Thanks Gregory for the tips, hope to enjoy our april vacation next month.

If you want a guided tour of Chinatown with a dim sum lunch after, try Wok Wiz.It was alot of fun. You can book with them online before your trip.

Thanks JD, can you pls. tell what website it is?

As a lifetime resident of SF I have to include a little truth in advertising: The last two weeks - Feb 20 to March 4, were blessed with perfect weather. You were very lucky Gregory. Weather like that, any time of year is unusual, and incredible!
