(Arrive downtown Embarcadero, San Francisco in 24 minutes!

Perhaps Grab the Golden Gate Ferry and find yourself enjoying great views, including Alcatraz, the Golden Gate, San Francisco and beautiful Marin County.

Forget going to Pier39 for the shops- come and see real california sea lions that have taken over the Marina at this Pier! The seals are right at home and display their stuff with ease. A real national geographic display!

San Francisco:

Liberal and multi-cultural, the City of San Francisco is a cultural delight for the taste buds and senses. Definitely, the views are a feast for the eyes!

In just a 15 minute drive, experience San Francisco, a metropolitain city that offers “world class” activities. Dine at the 5 star Ritz Carlton, eat along Fisherman’s Wharf (a mere 25 minute drive from the home) or perhaps visit the many excellent museums such as deYoung, Ansel Adams Center and the Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco, the legion of honor.

Some great places to go, feel and see in SF:

·Cable Car:

A fantastic "San Francisco Treat"! Take the trolley and experience the hills, sights, and flavor of San Francisco! A must do.

·Alcatraz:

Visit the famous prison that sits in the middle of the bay. Enjoy
magnificent views there, on the island, and on the way back while
learning history and possibly getting locked up!

-Chrissy Field: Spend a day biking through the area on the way to the Golden Gate Bridge and taking a break to enjoy a snack. Beautiful views of the city, Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge in every direction, not to mention historical buildings and artifacts along the way. A great beach at the east end of Crissy Field is very popular for windsurfers and kite surfers. The summer winds build in the early afternoon and make great sailing of any type!

·Pier 39 / Fisherman’s Wharf / Ghiradelli Square:

Very much a tourist destination, but worth it! Fun filled streets
include wax museums, great dining, Views to die for! Don’t miss Pier 39
where the Seals have taken over the docks to the dismay of the boat
owners- the tourist and animal lovers of the bay area have declared
these docks for the seals! It is a magnificent opportunity to see Seal
community lifestyle upfront. Definitely a must see for tourists and
locals alike!

-Union Square: Downtown San Francisco Shopping Mecca. Macy's, Saks Fifth Avenue, etc... all the big guys and some powerful small boutiques! Great dining.

·Lombard Street: Most Crooked street in the world. You can take the trolley here on your way to Fisherman’s Wharf.

·China Town: Outside China, San Francisco has the largest population of Chinese people. Experience authentic Chinese food here.

·North Beach- Little Italy: Few places manage to be popular with the locals and the tourists, but Little Italy is just one of those places. Great Italian fare, checkered tablecloths complete much of the café and Italian

delicatessen “scene”.

North Beach is also loved for its history of embracing the Beat generation, such as Kerouac and Ginsberg. For those that want more then poems and pasta, don’t worry, North Beach offers much more. Enjoy some
of the best nightclubs and bars in North beach. In the daytime, boutique shopping on upper Grant can’t be beat (no pun intended).

·Union Square: Great City shopping and dining. Includes big name stores such as Saks Fifth Avenue, Nordstroms and Macys! It is also the beginning of the line to catch the San Francisco Trolley car!

·Coit Tower: Fantastic 360 degree views of the city and bay area, including murals along the way of what San Francisco was like in the 30’s.
