Top Tips
- ✓Bring layers — SF microclimates mean it can be sunny and 70 in one neighborhood and foggy and 55 in another
- ✓Walk or bike across the Golden Gate Bridge, then take the ferry back from Sausalito
- ✓Eat in the Mission District for the best burritos and diverse food
- ✓Ride a cable car — it's touristy but genuinely fun and an engineering marvel
