It really depends on what you want to do. Pier 39 and Fisherman's Wharf are the touristy areas but are pretty fun to check out anyway.They are great place to get lunch or dinner with really fresh seafood. I like Alioto's for lunch or dinner. From that area you can also take a tour to Alcatraz. Union…

MUNI is the street car, light rail, and bus system in San Francisco. It will take you anywhere in the city if you let it, but it's up to you to know how to get from A to B. First off, don't buy the day pass. It's $9 total and MUNI is only $1.50 and you get a transfer good for around 2-3 hours, so…

We arranged for a private SUV and driver for our wine tasting adventure through "Private Limousine Service". Our driver, Ed Abrahamyan, was awesome! He showed up a little ahead of schedule to pick us up (better early than late) and was very professional, pleasant and helpful with his tips about th…

Some of you may be afraid of the homeless people that are on every other corner of San Francisco, especially near Fisherman's Wharf where all the tourists hang out. For the most part, I just ignored them and they never bothered me. I gave change to a few of the bums that actually were quite entertai…

California is gorgeous!
If you go, make sure you have at least 3 weeks holiday so you can explore the coastline!
Fly into San Francisco and hire a car! When in San Francisco you have to explore the town especially on a hot day when you can do anything, go to china town.
The hills are a killer bu…

I love California, to be precise, San Francisco. We are just back from a fantastic week there from the 11th to 18th September. There was amazing weather even though l was warned by everyone that SF is notorious for being cold and foggy. To be honest l saw fog once - on our first morning there l woke…

These guys all have good ideas. My personal favorites and where I take people is for sure the new Ferry Building because it is gorgeous and has a great view of the bay. If it is a weekend, they have a fun farmers markets and all kinds of arts and crafts for sale. From there I like to go to the Hyatt…

I've taken many trips to San Francisco over the years for business, visiting friends, or just to get away from the LA heat. Recently though, I discovered something that for whatever reason has always been off my radar. I was talked into a jaunt down to Fisherman's Wharf to check out the barking sea …

The bushman hangs around the Fisherman's Wharf area. He hides behind a bush, usually covering himself with random branches and bits of foliage. When unsuspecting tourists wander by, he jumps out from his hiding place, giving them a friendly scare. Well, some people don't find it so friendly, but wat…

This happened to me once, so I feel really stupid being swindled not only out of the $5 parking but the $35 fine I had to pay later for not having paid my parking at the meter.
It was more than one year ago, on one of those occasions when we went to San Francisco to a concert downtown at the Dav…
