If you have a few days, explore the city on foot. It's a great way to see San Francisco in all its glory. First things first, head to the Golden Gate Bridge. Expect it to take at least an hour one-way. The length of the bridge is 2730 meters. And you still have to take pictures.
By virtue of Bay City's compactness, many sights are within walking distance. Laying out a San Francisco hiking route between them is easy. For example, take the cable car down to Lombard. Take nice photos of the steep slope from above and below the street. Then walk toward Telegraph Hill.
There's Coyt Tower, built with the savings of eccentric socialite Lily Hitchcock-Coyt. It's a leisurely half-hour walk. Your San Francisco route will take you through the former immigrant neighborhood of Italy. Its streets are lined with 2- and 3-story colorful Victorian-style mansions.
The Coit Tower is designed in the art deco style. It is tall and is a great observation deck. An elevator will take you up to it for 7 USD. But it is not convenient to take photos here - the windows are glazed and locked. Although modern equipment helps to cope with this problem. Then you can go to the Fisherman's Wharf.
You go down to it along the street, which resembles a staircase. All around - a lot of greenery, flowers, the place resembles a real botanical garden. By the way, many walking routes in San Francisco pass through gardens and parks. You can go to one of the nearest ones after finishing your walk along the pier.
