Golden Gate Bridge. This is a favorite among tourists for many reasons. One of those reasons is the fact that it is one landmark that belongs only to San Francisco. It is uniquely an element of this city and represents, for many, your entire trip. Another reason is that there are so many methods of get there. I advise walking and if you’re up for it, try one of the guided strolling tours-this will give valuable background details about the bridge in addition to insuring that you do not get lost on the way.
Golden Gate Park. This park is larger than New York’s Central Park and in my opinion equally grand. There is so much to do and see in Golden Gate Park that you may spend a good portion of your vacation here alone.
Cable Car Museum. Kids of any age will see this museum interesting, especially big and little boys. This museum definitely offers a good deal of education and excitement for the family. Additionally discovering these neat cable cars which have become a trademark of San Francisco transportation. This is one museum I would pay to go to, the fact that it is free is a bit extra that I can’t resist and the reason it is on this particular top ten list.
Strolling Tours of San Francisco. These free walking tours are not only entertaining; they are also very informative as well. Learn about the history of the neighborhoods that this city is famous for in addition to the truly great individuals who rebuilt a grand city, literally from the ashes of what it used to be and made it even better. San Francisco has a marvelous story to tell and these guides narrate it wonderfully.
San Francisco Fire Department Museum. For the important kid in all of us that desired to grow up to be a fire fighter, this museum takes the cake. Not only does it supply great historical references and artifacts but it is also really cool! I am in a position to consider no greater compliment to give a museum than that. This one, even your children will relish and beg to go back over and over.
