So colourful, so much to do and see, Three days is not enough. The three day cable car/tram/bus Passport is great value and much better than the Hop on Hop Off bus..

STAY AWAY FROM TENDERLOIN AND UNION SQUARE ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT!! Those places are full of crackheads that will rob you. The cable car was cool but it’s over priced and the staff are rude and aggressive.
