San Francisco Cable Cars
Hanging off the side as you
whiz down hills and around corners is a quintessential San
Francisco experience. If you're in the Bay Area, you've got to
ride the cable cars at least once. The cable cars are
inextricably linked with the mythology of the city.

Fisherman's Wharf
Fisherman's Wharf is overwhelmed by tourists and reinvented
daily as a chaotic carnival of crass commercialism, replete with
remarkably uneven shops and restaurants. Get up early and greet
the sunrise and brisk bay air with a hearty walk on the piers
and along Jefferson Street.

Alcatraz Island
Escape from the mainland to this legendary
prison for a thrilling tour behind bars. Perhaps the most famous
ex-jail in the world, "The Rock" draws thousands of
visitors every year to its echoing corridors. |

Golden Gate Bridge
This beautiful old red-orange bridge has
become the defining symbol of the Bay Area. The bridge is easy
to approach by car or tour bus. Once you're there, walk or
bicycle across to slowly savor the experience. There's never a
bad time or way to cross the bridge!
