Union Sq to Chinatown, to North Beach to Fisherman's wharf area .... - zeitgeist Jun 30, 17:38
If you want to do it all, take a Big Bus tour (there are a couple open top companies). In 2 1/2 hours you'll get the highlights. - CovingtonCat Jun 30, 17:09 3
- The bus sounds perfect. What's it called? -- nm - Volnelk Jun 30, 17:22 2
  - Big Bus is the one we did. -- (link) - CovingtonCat Jun 30, 17:23 1
    - Perfect. Looks like the Chinatown stop is two blocks from us. -- nm - Volnelk Jun 30, 17:39
I was there in March. I enjoyed Fisherman's Wharf, Alcatraz, Angel Island, Calif Academy of Sciences facility - TWuG Jun 30, 17:07
Up above the Presidio there is a park. Go there. It has a view of the Golden Gate and if you get lucky and go near sunset the fog will start rolling - Bacon Jun 30, 16:58
Take the cable car up the hill to the Ghirardelli factory and buy a bunch of imperfect, but tasty chocolate. -- nm - Trish Jun 30, 16:52 1
- Also, when getting the cable car in that area, walk up 1 block and grab onto it at it's first stop. Otherwise, the line is like an hour or two - Michael Caine Jun 30, 17:00
Start out walking wherever your feet take you. Explore. -- nm - OAE -- Explorer, Antarctica, Old Jun 30, 16:48 7
- So, you've never been to San Francisco then...? -- nm - Stephen Jun 30, 16:49 6
  - Yes, and thanks for asking: I grew up there. -- nm - OAE -- Explorer, Antarctica, Old Jun 30, 17:12 1
    - And yet you'd suggest to someone who only has two days there to just walk, and explore... - Stephen Jun 30, 17:15
  - hee hee! - Trish Jun 30, 16:52 3
    - Oh look, ANOTHER FRACKIN HILL!!! - Stephen Jun 30, 17:07 2
      - Seven -- just like in Rome. -- nm - OAE -- Explorer, Antarctica, Old Jun 30, 17:13 1
        
        Only if you don't count the other 40. -- (link) - CovingtonCat Jun 30, 17:14
Fisherman's Wharf, catch a Giants game at AT&T (assuming you meant July 8-9), ride the cable cars, visit North Beach, or Chinatown, or both, - Stephen Jun 30, 16:45 5
- Of course. Just thought I'd ask for what was cool and accessible. Really, it's a glorified layover. -- nm - Volnelk Jun 30, 16:50 4
  - Hit Fisherman's Wharf; there's so much right there in 1 area. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 30, 17:01
  - I will always recommend Fisherman's Wharf, even on short visits. - Stephen Jun 30, 17:00 1
    - Musee Mechanique! - Will Hunting Jun 30, 17:02
  - Crash loved touring the subs down at the wharf. I couldn't do it, I have claustrophobia and would have been a screaming mess. -- nm - Trish Jun 30, 16:54
Check CovingtonCat's posts for this last week - he did a number of the best places. -- nm - Meg Jun 30, 16:41
