Alcatraz Island and Prison
Board the ferry to Alcatraz Island at Fisherman's Wharf and enjoy spectacular views of the San Francisco skyline on the way to this must-see San Francisco attraction -- once home to notorious prisoners like Al Capone.

Baker Beach
San Francisco's most popular and locally beloved nude beach is nestled in the western shadow of the Golden Gate Bridge. Aside from being the birth place of Burning Man, the great qualities of Baker Beach are its size, close shore breaks, tide pools, steep bluffs, and climbable rocks, and a totally nude north end that rubs friendly elbows with a decidedly family-style south side, complete with barbeque grills and picnic tables.

Cable Cars
Designated as official historic landmarks in 1964, these famous vehicles are a must for any visit. By far the best way to experience the rise and fall of the San Francisco skyline.

Chinatown
Enter at "Dragon's Gate" at Grant Avenue and Bush Street.
San Francisco's bustling Chinatown is a tightly-packed warren of Chinese restaurants, shops, temples and street vendors. Great for gifts, and fireworks on Chinese New Year.

Coit Tower (Building)
Round stone tower at the top of Telegraph Hill offering breathtaking views of the city and the bay. Open daily 10:00 am - 6:00 pm.

The Exploratorium (Museum)
A hands-on science museum at The Palace of Fine Arts. Constantly updated and improved, this multi-interest attraction offers visitors of all ages a journey through the world's most innovative creations.

Golden Gate Bridge
Arguably the world's most beautiful bridge, the mammoth rust-red deco San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge connects San Francisco with Marin County and can be experienced from near countless angles. Drive, bike, or walk across the two-mile long suspension bridge or get down to the base and look up from the tide pools at Baker's Beach or from a Frisbee toss at Crissy fields, both in the adjoining Presidio.

Ghirardelli Square (District)
Popular shopping area with a vibrant ambience where stores are punctuated by lively restaurants.

San Francisco Zoo (Leisure)
