If you travel to and from SF and Vallejo frequently, but not enough to warrant purchasing a monthly pass, get the 10 pass! No expiration date, and you save a few bucks per trip!
Excellent transportation option for getting to and from San Francisco from Solano County. Use the Clipper card to get a discount fare. Fare options available for individuals and groups. WiFi on board.
Best for trips from Castro to any point on Embarcadero. Board at 17th and Castro, bring a book, and let the world shuffle by. BTW, the orange, Italian cars look cool but are super uncomfortable.
While it is convenient in terms of location, be careful of the number of homeless people, especially at night.
If you expect to get somewhere faster by taking muni.. you may be very disappointed..almost never runs on time..and the mist delays I have ever experienced in my life.. I only ride when I'm desperate.
No ticket machines at this station so if you need one, you'll have to board at the very front of the car and use cash ($2 a pop) to buy one. You need exact change too.
Take the stairs only if you need a workout. It is more of a hike than you think!
I LOVE this place for wash and fold, it only costs slightly more than doing it yourself and the owner is super friendly.
Best laundromat everrrr. Grab a cup, and a book, and use the cycle as time to relax. Community feel. Talk to your neighbors!
Yum! Crispy olives were too good to be true. Loved the stuffed dates. For dinner we split the burger with bone marrow and duck fat fries! Everything was delicious!
To get the bridge with the city of San Francisco in the background, pull over about half way up Conzelman Road. There's one spot where the Trans America Pyramid lines up with the North Tower.
Biking up here before the #sunrise is a definite treat. Some days you can watch the #fog roll onto San Francisco. It's #beautiful
Beautiful view and has all the story of the golden gate for you to see. Which is very informative and great to know when visiting.
One of our favorite places to take a dog in San Francisco and get a delicious coffee. Plus you are about as close as it gets to the Golden Gate Bridge!
The trail is temporarily shut down to help preserve wildlife so you can't take the Batteries to Bluffs trail down to the water. That said, still some great sites!
Best vista point for the bridge from this side .. Perfect for taking pictures
Best place to watch the sunset. Definitely walk into the cave and watch the waves crash.
Wonderful retreat in the shadow of the Golden Gate Bridge. Dog friendly, great bar, simply wonderful.
Get the cruffins and donuts. Have heard the California croissant (sushi inside) is great!
Craig Stoll cooks Italian food here through the lens of the Bay Area: hyperseasonal, locally sourced, and as primally satisfying as the home cooking of a Tuscan nonna. The panna cotta is legendary.
There are some places in life where less is more, and I feel that way about Pizzeria Delfina.
As a former resident of Chicago, I endorse this pizza as legit deep dish. Get one with sausage.
Eat a Sam's Sundae and marvel at the beauty of olive oil on chocolate ice cream. Afterward, feel full of dairy and shame.
Try the "Sam's Sundae:" Chocolate ice cream topped with olive oil and maldon salt. Amazing.
Go to Hot Cookie on Castro and Market. If you like being adventurous, get a Cocoa Cayenne. If you love macaroons and penis, get a chocolate covered penis on a stick. Oh, Castro
The menu is limited however they do have some pretty amazing choices. Request to have your dessert out on the patio by the fire pit for a nice ending to your dinner. I suggest the chocolate churros.
Each dish was perfectly prepared and presented as an individual "work of art". Knowledgeable and personal service and a warm and inviting space.
Their pastry case features a different chef every week. Some great treats can be found (like this jar of tiny choc chip cookies).
Dandelion makes all their chocolate bars, from bean to bar, in the store. Try the single origin bars or indulge in a mug of excellent hot chocolate.
This cozy café is known not just for its dessert, and the savory brunch, lunch, and evening snacks are as equally drool-worthy as those éclairs (and other sweets) that you're bound to love. Read more.
The Rebel Within, a soft boiled egg inside a savory muffin/biscuit is spectacular. The kimchi financier is pretty good too.
Really good smoothie bowls, such friendly service. The small was filling enough for lunch.Plus Mint Plaza is a lovely place to eat!
They stock fierce Deadly Ponies bags! One of only 2 stores in the U.S. that stock the edgy/elegant New Zealand brand.
Set right on the edge of Dolores Park, Woods' taphouse with Argentinian small plates (empanadas anyone?) will show off varieties of yerba mate-infused beers that were only available in stores before Read more.
If you are doing the roundtrip hike, start at Stinson Beach! First 1.5 miles is very very steep
Ein Geheimtipp: in keinem Reiseführer zu finden! Tolle Aussicht auf die Golden Gate Bridge!
Frommers: "Stroll the forested Coastal Trail from Cliff House to the GG bridge, and you'll see why SFers put up with living on a fault line. Start at parking lot above Cliff House and head north."
Did you know? The treacherously rocky coastline of Lands End has been the site of ten shipwrecks over the years – three of which are still visible at low tide. Read more.
This Civil War fort offers a unique view from directly underneath the bridge. The intricate girders contrast with the historic brickwork. Shoot in the late afternoon from the top level.
Did you know this rock wall is one side of a fault? Feel it! This smooth surface is called "slickensides." It was polished during eons of years of fault motion. Our video features this wall at 4:15. Read more.
this is the real crookedest street, shorter and not as well groomed but a fun drive down the twisty curves!
This is one of the best hidden gems in the entire bay area. Amazing lookout at the top of the entire city skyline and the golden gate bridge. Still one of my favorite scenic places in the SF area
Be sure to visit at low tide and wear some sturdy beach shoes so you can walk out amongst the big rocks separating the two beaches to discover tidal pools of anemones, crabs and sea stars!
Make sure to visit the Muir Beach overlook...it is breathtaking...bring a picnic lunch and enjoy your meal down the trail to the left, where the picnic tables are...its very romantic Read more.
This is one of my favorite trails. If you hike from Tennessee Valley to Muir Beach you can take a side trip from the beach to Pelican Inn for a beer or fish & chips before hiking back. Read more.

Good place for a hike amongst an incredible array of rare and endangered trees. Things bloom throughout the year, so there doesn't seem to be a bad time to visit.
This shop and its awesome owners will charm your socks off. Stop by for some flowers (they charge by the stem), then stay and read a book.
