Top places to visit

1. Golden Gate Bridge

This feat of engineering may no longer be the longest, the tallest, nor the oldest, but it remains one of the most photographed bridges in the world and still has the power to inspire awe. It’s also something of an event to cross. This iconic landmark stretches 2.7 kilometres across the "Golden Gate", where the San Francisco Bay opens into the Pacific Ocean.

2. Pier 39

One of the highlights of Pier 39 is watching the vast numbers of sea lions basking in the sun or playing on the floating docks on which they live. These noisy residents are popular with visitors, so the best time to see them is early in the morning.

3. Golden Gate Park

The park incorporates winding walking trails that weave their way past beautiful gardens, playgrounds, picnic areas, woods and lakes spanning over 400 hectares. Golden Gate Park has a laidback and peaceful vibe and is the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of San Francisco.

Whether or not you’re a baseball fan, this charming ballpark with outstanding views should be on your San Francisco sightseeing list.

5. Alcatraz Island

Between 1934 and 1963, the name Alcatraz uttered in a courtroom was enough to make a grown man cry. Even today, viewing it from the mainland, the image of this austere island fortress conjures up images of bleak isolation. “The Rock” as it is known, was the federal prison home to some of America’s most dangerous criminals, including Al Capone, Robert Franklin Shroud (the birdman of Alcatraz) and Alvin “Creepy” Karpis, who spent more time in Alcatraz than any other prisoner.

Shop in the square’s exciting boutique stores before enjoying a fine meal over a stunning waterfront view at one of the numerous Jack London Square restaurants.
