Here you\u2019ll find hippies, college students, tech giants, artists, immigrant enclaves, and everything in between. It\u2019s one of the most diverse cities in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To me, visiting San Francisco is all about enjoying the outdoors and the food. You come here to dine on some of the best Asian food in the country, relax in a chill cafe, and then head out to the parks or nearby hiking trails to lounge away the day. There\u2019s also a phenomenal amount of art and music here too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While it is one of the most expensive cities in the <a

there are still plenty of ways to visit on a budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This travel guide to San Francisco can help you plan a fun and affordable trip!<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id4471_b48ce5-27 >

San Francisco<\/h3>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media.nomadicmatt.com\/2022\/sanfranguide2.jpg\" alt=\"View of Alcatraz, an old prison on a rocky island in San Francisco, California.\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Tour Alcatraz<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Alcatraz Island is the site of an abandoned federal prison, the oldest operating lighthouse on the west coast (built in 1909), and 19th-century military fortifications. Its best known for Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary, a notorious maximum security prison that operated from 1934-1963. Take a tour to learn about the island&#8217;s past and its famous inmates (including mobster Al Capone and George &#8220;Machine Gun&#8221; Kelly). Be sure to book the ferry early as it fills up fast. Day-tour tickets cost $45.25 USD, night-tours are $56.30 USD, and behind-the-scenes tours cost $101.30 USD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Walk the Golden Gate Bridge<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>The Golden Gate Bridge is an engineering marvel and one of San Francisco\u2019s most iconic landmarks. When it opened in 1937, it was the longest and the tallest suspension bridge in the entire world and was named one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World. You can walk the 1.7 miles (2.7 kilometers) across the bridge, visit the visitor\u2019s center to learn the history of the bridge, or just stare at it from every angle and take a stupid amount of pictures like I did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Visit Golden Gate Park<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>This gigantic park spanning 1,017 acres features a Japanese garden, an art museum, an arboretum, a tulip garden, a herd of wild bison, and tons of hiking and walking trails. At 3 miles (4.8 kilometers) long and stretching some 30 blocks, it\u2019s 20% bigger than New York\u2019s Central Park! Walking from end to end can take half a day. The park itself is free to visit, though most of the museums and gardens charge admission. The National Aids Memorial is a ten-acre grove in the park dedicated to the individuals who have suffered from the disease. At the western edge of the park, you can visit the Beach Chalet which dates back to 1925. Inside there are mosaics, frescos, and wood carvings. Upstairs is a restaurant upstairs with incredible views of the Pacific Ocean. The California Academy of Sciences is also the perfect stop for nature lovers. It\u2019s a rainforest, natural history museum, aquarium, and planetarium all in one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. See Wine Country<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Near the city are the world-famous Napa and Sonoma wine regions. If you love wine and have time to leave the city, you obviously need to come here. Organized day trips with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/san-francisco-l61\/wine-country-tour-napa-sonoma-california-s-wine-regions-t22672\/?partner_id=LLKQJ38&amp;utm_medium=online_publisher&amp;placement=content-middle\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tower Tours<\/a> cost $165 USD. That said, at around 1.5 hours one-way from the city, it\u2019s far better to spend the night. It can be a pricey place to visit, but I&#8217;ve found that it is indeed possible to visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomadicmatt.com\/travel-blogs\/napa-valley-on-a-budget\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Napa on a budget<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Visit the Palace of Fine Arts<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>The Palace of Fine Arts is the only remaining remnant of the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition. Meant to emulate a decaying Roman ruin, the outdoor rotunda (and its lagoon) is one of the city\u2019s most photographed sights. Take a leisurely stroll around the lagoon, relax under the rotunda, or enjoy a picnic on the grass. Admission is free.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<div data-gyg-widget=\"auto\" data-gyg-partner-id=\"LLKQJ38\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id4471_5099ac-9b > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id4471_5099ac-9b > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id4471_5099ac-9b > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}.kb-row-layout-id4471_5099ac-9b > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id4471_5099ac-9b > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id4471_5099ac-9b > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id4471_5099ac-9b alignnone wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\" id=\"seedo\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-1-columns kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top\">\n<style>.kadence-column4471_d10c49-aa > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column4471_d10c49-aa > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column4471_d10c49-aa > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column4471_d10c49-aa > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column4471_d10c49-aa > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column4471_d10c49-aa > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column4471_d10c49-aa{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column4471_d10c49-aa > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column4471_d10c49-aa > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column4471_d10c49-aa\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><div class=\"gb-container gb-container-7d671ee0 heading-line\" id=\"section-title\">\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading4471_fd3785-ae, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading4471_fd3785-ae[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading4471_fd3785-ae\"]{padding-right:var(--global-kb-spacing-xs, 1rem);padding-left:var(--global-kb-spacing-xs, 1rem);text-align:center;font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading4471_fd3785-ae mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading4471_fd3785-ae[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading4471_fd3785-ae\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h3 class=\"kt-adv-heading4471_fd3785-ae wp-block-kadence-advancedheading has-theme-palette-9-background-color has-background\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading4471_fd3785-ae\">Other Things to See and Do in San Francisco<\/h3>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Hang out in the Mission<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>The Mission District is one of the oldest neighborhoods in San Francisco; in fact, the oldest building in the city is located here (Mission San Francisco de As\u00eds, built in 1791). The neighborhood is the epicenter of the city&#8217;s Mexican community and has long been an alternative artist enclave as well. After a busy day, relax in Dolores Park for great views of the city, grab a drink at the cool bars, and dig into incredible Mexican food. There&#8217;s an eclectic food scene in general in the area, including several Michelin-starred restaurants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Ride the cable cars<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Riding the cable cars is an excellent way to tour the city and experience the various neighborhoods of San Francisco. Originally built in 1823, the city&#8217;s cable cars are the last manually operated system in the entire world. Of the 22 lines that were originally created in the 19th century, only three are still in operation. They are fun to ride and will save you lots of time since the city is so hilly. A one-way fare on a cable car is $8 USD and a single-day pass is $13 USD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Visit Lombard Street<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the world\u2019s windiest street. Surrounded by gardens and flowers, it\u2019s made up of eight hairpin turns. The roads were made this way during the 1920s when people in San Francisco were beginning to drive around in automobiles. Since many of the city\u2019s famous hills were too steep to navigate, the idea of using a curved street to help vehicles move downhill was embraced. This took the hill\u2019s incline from 27% to 16%. Today, you can watch cars and bikers navigate the sharp turns as tourists gawk at them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Head up Coit Tower<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Perched atop Telegraph Hill, this art deco tower was built in 1933. Standing 180 feet (55 meters) tall, it\u2019s home to over 25 murals and offers a panoramic view of the city. The murals here were painted in 1934 by local artists and depict life in San Francisco during the Depression. The tower became a San Francisco Designated Landmark in 1984 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2008. It&#8217;s free to visit the ground floor, though if you want to take the elevator to the top and see more artwork on the second floor it&#8217;s $10 USD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Head to Chinatown<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>After <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomadicmatt.com\/travel-guides\/united-states-travel-guide\/new-york-city\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">New York City<\/a>, this is the most famous Chinatown in the United States (it\u2019s also the oldest and the biggest). Immigrants from China first arrived on the West Coast in the 1850s and set up shop in San Francisco. Due to racial segregation, this neighborhood became predominantly Chinese. Though mandatory segregation ended decades ago, the area has remained predominately Chinese and thus has some of the best places to eat Chinese food in the city, as well as wonderful teahouses, bars, souvenir stalls, and fortune cookie makers. Many of the buildings are modeled after traditional Chinese architecture, including the Bank of America. The Sing Chong Building was one of the first buildings in the city to be rebuilt after the earthquake in 1906. You can get an in-depth look at the area with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/san-francisco-l61\/san-francisco-small-group-chinatown-walking-tour-t392792\/?partner_id=LLKQJ38&amp;utm_medium=online_publisher&amp;placement=content-middle\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">food and history walking tour of Chinatown<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Take a harbor tour<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Take an afternoon cruise of the bay to see the city from the water. There are many tour companies available, but a budget way to see the harbor is to take the public ferries starting at $7 USD (prices vary depending on which route you take). Same views, lower price. The Oakland &amp; Alameda route takes an hour to complete the round-trip route from the Downtown San Francisco terminal. It stops at Main St in Alameda and in Oakland. If you really want to do a tour, go with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/san-francisco-l61\/golden-gate-bay-cruise-t3285\/?partner_id=LLKQJ38&amp;utm_medium=online_publisher&amp;placement=content-middle\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Red and White Fleet<\/a>. Their tours start at $38 USD for a one-hour tour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Hang out in the Castro<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the 1960s, the Castro has been known as the LGBTQ district of San Francisco. The area has lots of trendy restaurants serving local and seasonal food, as well as the GLBTHistorical Society Museum ($10 USD admission) and the Rainbow Honor Walk, a walk of fame for LGBTQ members who left a significant impact on society. Plus, there are a plethora of lively bars and clubs that cater to the LGBTQ community (but are fun for everyone!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. Explore Haight-Ashbury<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>The birthplace of America\u2019s counter-culture, the Haight was ground zero during the summer of 1967, a.k.a. The Summer of Love. Hippies used to live here (including Janis Joplin and the Grateful Dead), but yuppies have since moved in, buying up all the colorful Victorian homes and replacing head shops with high-end boutiques, chic restaurants, and hip caf\u00e9s. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.haightashburytour.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Flower Power Walking Tours<\/a> run in-depth and informative hippie history tours throughout the neighborhood for $25 USD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. Take a walking tour<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/freesftour.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Free SF Tours<\/a> runs daily free walking tours that can show you the main sights of the city. You&#8217;ll not only get to learn about the city but you&#8217;ll have access to an expert local guide who can answer all your questions. Just be sure to tip at the end! For more in-depth paid tours, check out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/?tap_a=29774-b9abbb&amp;tap_s=37909-476f1e\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Take Walks<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10. Eat at the Ferry Building<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>This iconic historic building on the San Francisco waterfront used to be one of the busiest transportation terminals in the world. Today, it&#8217;s home to a massive food marketplace and is my top place to eat in San Francisco. This place is a foodie dream. Inside, you\u2019ll find restaurants and food vendors selling specialty food items as well as butchers, cheesemongers, a wine bar, and more. On the weekdays, food stands set up outside the building and on the weekends, there&#8217;s a big farmer&#8217;s market. Come here with an appetite!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">11. Visit Crissy Field<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>This park located near the Golden Gate Bridge used to be a US Army airfield. After its closure in 1974, it was derelict for years until it reopened in 2001 as a park. Today, it has a beach, some restaurants, piers where you can see locals fishing, and plenty of green space to relax. It offers sweeping views of the harbor, making it a laid-back place to come in the summer to have a picnic, lounge in the sun, read a book, and watch life go by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">12. Explore Japantown<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the largest remaining Japantown in the United States. There are two large malls here full of shops featuring uniquely Japanese items and a ton of restaurants. New People is a 20,000-square-foot complex dedicated to bringing Japanese culture to the community through events, arts, fashion, and more. The Peace Plaza is a relaxing spot to enjoy the greenery and admire the Peace Pagoda that opened in 1968. In this part of the city, you\u2019ll find amazing sushi, Japanese food, Korean food, and kitchen ingredients. Shabu Sen has amazing ramen, and Yama-chan has delicious <em>onigiri<\/em> (rice balls) and <em>takoyaki<\/em> (octopus balls). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">13. Explore Fisherman\u2019s Wharf<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Fisherman\u2019s Wharf, Pier 39, and Ghirardelli Square cover numerous blocks along the waterfront and visiting this area is one of the most popular (touristy) things to do in the city. There are street performers, souvenir shops, and tons of overpriced restaurants. This is a good place to wander and explore for people watching, but don\u2019t eat here. The food is overpriced and, to be honest, not that good. If you want to try some of the mouthwatering seafood that San Francisco is famous for, I liked Waterbar and the Anchor Oyster Bar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">14. See Muir Woods<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Named after famed naturalist John Muir, Muir Woods is the closest place to San Francisco where you can see giant redwood trees (it&#8217;s just 17 miles\/27 kilometeres outside of the city). You don\u2019t get to encounter the huge, iconic redwoods (which are sequoias and further away at Sequoia National Park), but if you\u2019re looking to see something close to the city, this is as good as it gets. Admission is $15 USD in addition to either a parking reservation ($9.50 USD) or a shuttle reservation ($3.75 USD round-trip). You can also do a guided tour with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/san-francisco-l61\/muir-woods-sausalito-half-day-tour-from-san-francisc-t149645\/?partner_id=LLKQJ38&amp;utm_medium=online_publisher&amp;placement=content-middle\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Get Your Guide<\/a> for $89 USD (including transportation).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">15. Explore Oakland<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Just across the Bay Bridge, Oakland is considered the Brooklyn to San Francisco\u2019s Manhattan. In recent years, Oakland has developed a niche for craft beer and specialty restaurants. There are tons of bars and breweries, and they even have their own \u201cAle Trail\u201d if you want to wander the city and sample its best drinks. You can also visit Oakland Redwood Regional Park, Lake Merritt, or catch a baseball game at Oakland Coliseum. There\u2019s a lot you can do in Oakland and you can easily spend a day or more here!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">16. Visit the Beat Museum<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Dedicated to the Beat Generation (the 1950s counter-culture), here you\u2019ll find original manuscripts, rare books, letters, and more from authors like Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg. Founded in 2003, the museum has over 1,000 pieces of memorabilia including Ginsberg\u2019s typewriter and a first edition copy of Kerouac\u2019s novel <em>The Town and the City<\/em>. They also hold regular events (and walking tours) so check the website to see if anything is happening during your visit. Admission is $8 USD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">17. Visit Berkeley<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Across the bay and close to Oakland is the city of Berkeley, home to music, hippies, students, and the University of California \u2013 Berkeley. Here you\u2019ll find a plethora of vegan and vegetarian restaurants, street performers, and eclectic shops (including booths selling jewelry and other goods on the streets). Don&#8217;t miss the University of California Botanical Garden, which has over 10,000 plants! Admission is $18 USD and advance reservations are required. You can also check out the UC Berkeley campus, take the elevator to the top of the Campanile clock and bell tower for incredible views of the San Francisco Bay and the surrounding area (admission is only $5), or visit The Lawrence Hall of Science with its interactive exhibits for kids and adults (admission is $20).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div data-gyg-widget=\"auto\" data-gyg-partner-id=\"LLKQJ38\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id4471_aacfb4-64 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id4471_aacfb4-64 > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id4471_aacfb4-64 > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}.kb-row-layout-id4471_aacfb4-64 > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id4471_aacfb4-64 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id4471_aacfb4-64 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id4471_aacfb4-64 alignnone wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\" id=\"safe\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-1-columns kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top\">\n<style>.kadence-column4471_136a94-fe > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column4471_136a94-fe > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column4471_136a94-fe > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column4471_136a94-fe > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column4471_136a94-fe > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column4471_136a94-fe > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column4471_136a94-fe{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column4471_136a94-fe > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column4471_136a94-fe > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column4471_136a94-fe\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><div class=\"gb-container gb-container-b68a4ab2 heading-line\" id=\"section-title\">\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading4471_1f0e11-f9, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading4471_1f0e11-f9[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading4471_1f0e11-f9\"]{padding-right:var(--global-kb-spacing-xs, 1rem);padding-left:var(--global-kb-spacing-xs, 1rem);text-align:center;font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading4471_1f0e11-f9 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading4471_1f0e11-f9[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading4471_1f0e11-f9\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h3 class=\"kt-adv-heading4471_1f0e11-f9 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading has-theme-palette-9-background-color has-background\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading4471_1f0e11-f9\">How to Stay Safe in San Francisco<\/h3>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>San Francisco is a relatively safe place to travel but you have to keep a vigilant eye. Crime here has definitely increased over the years, though it\u2019s mostly non-violent crime. Petty theft is the most common crime here, with a particularly high rate of car break-ins. If you have a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discovercars.com\/?a_aid=nomadicmatt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">rental car<\/a>, make sure it is locked at all times. Don&#8217;t leave any valuables in it overnight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep an eye on your belongings at all times, especially while taking crowded public transportation. It\u2019s helpful if you can plan your route in advance so you don\u2019t have to pull out a map or be looking at your phone to navigate. Always be aware of your surroundings and the people around you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re concerned about getting ripped off, read my post about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomadicmatt.com\/travel-blogs\/avoid-travel-scams\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">common scams to avoid here<\/a> (there aren&#8217;t many here though).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, there\u2019s a serious drug and homeless problem in San Francisco though, and there\u2019s no way to sugarcoat this situation. It\u2019s not uncommon for visitors to witness drug use in the streets, as well as mental health episodes. The city is making moves to resolve these issues, but you\u2019ll still need to stay aware of your surroundings. The situation has only gotten worse since COVID and, while there&#8217;s not a lot violence, you&#8217;re going to be careful of where you walk, especially at night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Tenderloin (one of the city&#8217;s neighborhoods) is especially known for its street drug activity, and it&#8217;s near enough to the city&#8217;s touristy areas that you might find yourself in the neighborhood at some point. You&#8217;re better off avoiding this area altogether at night (especially the intersection of Turk and Taylor).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Solo female travelers should feel safe here. The standard precautions apply (don&#8217;t leave your drink unattended at the bar, never walk around at night intoxicated, etc.). For specific tips, I would read one of the many incredible solo female travel blogs on the web. They\u2019ll give you tips and advice that I can\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you experience an emergency, dial 911 for assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Always trust your gut instinct. Make copies of your personal documents, including your passport and ID.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most important piece of advice I can offer is to purchase good travel insurance. Travel insurance will protect you against illness, injury, theft, and cancellations. It&#8217;s comprehensive protection in case anything goes wrong. I never go on a trip without it as I&#8217;ve had to use it many times in the past.

If you plan on drinking, add $30 USD per day to your budget.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.kadence-column4471_a7fad8-bf > .kt-inside-inner-col{padding-right:var(--global-kb-spacing-md, 2rem);padding-left:var(--global-kb-spacing-md, 2rem);}.kadence-column4471_a7fad8-bf > .kt-inside-inner-col{border-top:0px solid var(--global-palette3, #1A202C);border-right:2px solid var(--global-palette3, #1A202C);border-bottom:0px solid var(--global-palette3, #1A202C);border-left:2px solid var(--global-palette3, #1A202C);}.kadence-column4471_a7fad8-bf > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column4471_a7fad8-bf > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column4471_a7fad8-bf > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column4471_a7fad8-bf > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column4471_a7fad8-bf > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column4471_a7fad8-bf > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column4471_a7fad8-bf{position:relative;}.kadence-column4471_a7fad8-bf, .kt-inside-inner-col > .kadence-column4471_a7fad8-bf:not(.specificity){margin-right:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);margin-left:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column4471_a7fad8-bf > .kt-inside-inner-col{padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;border-top:0px solid var(--global-palette9, #ffffff);border-right:0px solid var(--global-palette9, #ffffff);border-bottom:0px solid var(--global-palette9, #ffffff);border-left:0px solid var(--global-palette9, #ffffff);flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column4471_a7fad8-bf, .kt-inside-inner-col > .kadence-column4471_a7fad8-bf:not(.specificity){margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column4471_a7fad8-bf > .kt-inside-inner-col{border-top:0px solid var(--global-palette9, #ffffff);border-right:2px solid var(--global-palette9, #ffffff);border-bottom:0px solid var(--global-palette9, #ffffff);border-left:2px solid var(--global-palette9, #ffffff);flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column4471_a7fad8-bf\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading4471_1c8b28-a9, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading4471_1c8b28-a9[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading4471_1c8b28-a9\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading4471_1c8b28-a9 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading4471_1c8b28-a9[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading4471_1c8b28-a9\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h4 class=\"kt-adv-heading4471_1c8b28-a9 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading4471_1c8b28-a9\">Midrange &#8211; 210 USD Per Day<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>On a midrange budget, you can stay in a private hostel room or Airbnb room, eat out for most meals at Chinese restaurants and fast-food chains, enjoy a few drinks, and take the occasional taxi to get around.

You\u2019re going to spend a lot of money here if you go out a lot, see lots of attractions, and decide to drink. But, like any major city, there are lots of ways to cut costs if you know where to look. Here are some ways to save money in San Francisco:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bring a reusable water bottle<\/strong> &#8211; The tap water here is safe to drink so bring a reusable water bottle to save money and reduce your plastic use. <a href=\"https:\/\/lifestraw.xyibsh.net\/B0AY14\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LifeStraw<\/a> is my go-to brand as their bottles have built in filters to ensure your water is always clean and safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Get the CityPASS<\/strong> &#8211; Getting a city sightseeing card is always a good idea if you plan on seeing a lot of attractions. CityPASS is good for nine days and costs $87 USD. It includes admission to 4 of the city&#8217;s main attractions (California Academy of Sciences and Blue &amp; Gold Fleet San Francisco Bay Cruise along with your choice of 2 others). If you want to see these more expensive attractions, this will save you money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Get a GoCity Pass<\/strong> &#8211; If you want a more inclusive option than the above CityPASS, GoCity offers all-inclusive options in 1-5-day increments. The one-day pass costs $89 USD while the 5-day pass is $189 USD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Buy a transit pass<\/strong> Download the MuniMobile app or get a Clipper card ($3 USD). With the card, one-way rides are only $2.50 USD instead of $3 USD if you pay with cash. A single-day Visitor Passport lets you use the bus, cable car, and streetcar network as much as you want. A 1-day passport is $13 USDwith the app or Clipper card, while a 3-day passport is $31 USD. If you\u2019re staying longer, a 7-day passport is only $41 USD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Redeem hotel points<\/strong> &#8211; Hotel credit cards can help you save money when you travel. Every time you spend, you\u2019ll get points that you can use on your next trip. It\u2019s always awesome to have free accommodation and most cards come with at least 1-2 nights free when you sign up. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomadicmatt.com\/travel-blogs\/points-miles-for-beginners\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">This post will help you understand the basics<\/a> so you can start earning points today and have plenty for your trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Eat cheap in Chinatown<\/strong> &#8211; San Francisco&#8217;s Chinatown has some of the best places to eat Chinese food (especially dim sum) in the country, with teahouses, bars, souvenir stalls, and fortune cookie makers. Eat your heart out here!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Hit up happy hour for food and drink<\/strong> &#8211; Booze will really wreck your budget here so take advantage of San Francisco\u2019s many happy hours (usually between 4pm-6pm). Ask your hotel\/hostel staff for suggestions near where you&#8217;re staying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Find the oyster happy hours<\/strong> &#8211; There are lots of restaurants that offer an oyster happy hour at least once a week for about $1.50-2 USD per oyster. Waterbar and Waterfront Restaurant are good places to start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Take a free walking tour<\/strong> &#8211; This is the best way to see the main sights on a budget. I always do one when I visit a new city. Free SF Tours has a great tour that provides a solid intro to the city. Just be sure to tip your guide at the end!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Stay with a local<\/strong> &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomadicmatt.com\/travel-blogs\/how-to-crush-it-on-couchsurfing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Couchsurfing<\/a> is the best way to meet locals and save money. You&#8217;ll get to meet a local whose brain you can pick for tips and suggestions all while getting a free place to stay. Just be sure to send your request well in advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Save money on rideshares<\/strong> &#8211; Uber and Lyft are way cheaper than taxis and are the best way to get around a city if you don\u2019t want to take a bus or pay for a taxi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Fly into Oakland Airport (OAK)<\/strong> &#8211; OAK is nearly as close to downtown as SFO is and sometimes flights there are cheaper. Make sure you make a comparison before you book your trip.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id4471_95012c-bc > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id4471_95012c-bc > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id4471_95012c-bc > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}.kb-row-layout-id4471_95012c-bc > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id4471_95012c-bc > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id4471_95012c-bc > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id4471_95012c-bc alignnone wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\" id=\"getaround\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-1-columns kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top\">\n<style>.kadence-column4471_b4c975-9a > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column4471_b4c975-9a > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column4471_b4c975-9a > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column4471_b4c975-9a > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column4471_b4c975-9a > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column4471_b4c975-9a > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column4471_b4c975-9a{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column4471_b4c975-9a > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column4471_b4c975-9a > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column4471_b4c975-9a\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><div class=\"gb-container gb-container-4f458871 heading-line\" id=\"section-title\">\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading4471_89df36-07, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading4471_89df36-07[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading4471_89df36-07\"]{padding-right:var(--global-kb-spacing-xs, 1rem);padding-left:var(--global-kb-spacing-xs, 1rem);text-align:center;font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading4471_89df36-07 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading4471_89df36-07[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading4471_89df36-07\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h3 class=\"kt-adv-heading4471_89df36-07 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading has-theme-palette-9-background-color has-background\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading4471_89df36-07\">How to Get Around in San Francisco<\/h3>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media.nomadicmatt.com\/2022\/sanfranguide4.jpg\" alt=\"People boarding two historic trolleys in San Francisco, California.\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Public transportation<\/strong> &#8211; The subway can get you all over the city, as well as to the airport and eastward to places like Oakland and Berkeley. Fares depend on where you&#8217;re going but cost at least $2.50 USD. You can use either a cash ticket or a Clipper card to tap in and tap out. Although the Clipper card is $3 USD to purchase, it&#8217;s cheaper in the long run because each regular ticket costs $0.50 USD more than a fare purchased with a Clipper card. You can also download the Clipper app, load your fare, and use tap-to-pay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>San Francisco&#8217;s bus system is even more extensive than the subway. If you want to save money, download the MuniMobile ticket app or use a Clipper card. One-way rides are $2.50 USD with the Clipper card or $3 USD cash (exact change is required).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also get a single-day Visitor Passport for unlimited use across the bus, cable car, and streetcar network. If you purchase the Visitor Passport through the MuniMobile app or Clipper card, it costs $13 USD. A 3-day passport is $31 USD, and a 7-day passport is $41 USD. It will cost an extra $3 for any of the Visitor Passports if you don\u2019t already have a Clipper Card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cable cars are a fun way to travel between the waterfront and Union Square. Their website (sfmta.com) has a listing of all routes and schedules. Single rides cost $8 USD but a Visitor Passport gives you unlimited rides, so that can be a better deal, especially if you\u2019re using lots of public transportation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The historic streetcars are an excellent way to see certain parts of San Francisco, especially the touristy places along the Embarcadero (which stops at Fisherman&#8217;s Wharf, the Ferry Building, etc.). Streetcars are part of the MUNI system, so prices are the same as for the bus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ferry<\/strong> &#8211; You can get a Golden Gate Transit ferry to Sausalito or Tiburon for $14 USD. The ferry to Alcatraz is included with your ticket ($45.25 USD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bicycle<\/strong> &#8211; Bay Wheels (operated by Lyft) is San Francisco&#8217;s biggest bike-sharing program. To unlock a bike, it&#8217;s $3.99 USD, which includes 30 free minutes (past that, it&#8217;s a hefty $.30 per minute, which adds up quickly). When you&#8217;re using your Lyft app, you&#8217;ll see a bicycle icon show up on your app&#8217;s home screen when you&#8217;re in the bike service area. Just return your bicycle to the nearest Bay Wheels station when you&#8217;re done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Taxis<\/strong> &#8211; Taxis are expensive. Everything is meter-based, starting at $4.15 USD and then an additional $3.25 USD per mile after that. Avoid them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ridesharing<\/strong> &#8211; Uber and Lyft are cheaper than taxis and are the best way to get around a city if you don\u2019t want to take a bus or pay for a cab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Car rental<\/strong> &#8211; Car rentals start at $40 USD per day for a multi-day rental. Unless you&#8217;re doing some day trips outside the city (such as Muir Woods or Napa Valley) you won&#8217;t need one. Renters need to be at least 21 years old.

The temperature averages around 65-68\u00b0F (18-20\u00b0C) during this time. San Francisco hosts one of the biggest Pride celebrations in the world on the last weekend in June. During the summer, you can also enjoy the Haight-Ashbury Street Fair and the North Beach Festival. August brings the epic music festival, Outside Lands, to Golden Gate park for three days of music that ranges from mellow indie rock to EDM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Winter is an excellent time to come for the lowest accommodation prices and the least number of visitors. It can be chilly and cloudy this time of the year but temps range between 57\u00b0F-61\u00b0F (14\u00b0C-16\u00b0C) in December-February so it\u2019s never too cold. It\u2019s also the wettest time of year so be sure to bring proper rain gear. You can check out the Illuminate SF Festival of Light that runs from November through January and lights the city with more than fifty installations across seventeen neighborhoods. If you want to experience the largest Chinese New Year celebration in the US, this is the time to visit. For comedy lovers, the Sketchfest in January is a chance to catch shows all month long and stay out of the rain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Personally, I think September-November is the best time to visit San Francisco. It offers warm temperatures (70\u00b0F\/21\u00b0C) but with much fewer crowds compared to the summer. October has a lot of events too. Fleet Week brings people from all over to watch the aviation showcase and Hardly Strictly Bluegrass is a free music festival in Golden Gate Park. The Castro Street Fair was founded by Harvey Milk and celebrates San Francisco\u2019s LGBTQ culture. There\u2019s also the Italian Heritage Parade and Litquake which celebrates local literary icons like Jack Kerouac.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spring starts out cool and rainy, but temperatures eventually get a bit more comfortable, ranging from 62-65\u00b0F (17-18\u00b0C) from the beginning and end of the season. The city puts on the largest St. Patrick\u2019s Day celebration on the West Coast with a massive parade and tons of festivities. The San Francisco International Film Festival happens in April, along with the Northern California Cheery Blossom Festival.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"guide-block resources-block\"><h3 id=\"book\"><span>San Francisco Travel Guide: The Best Booking Resources<\/span><\/h3><p>These are my favorite companies to use when I travel.
