Highs & Lows

My highlight would probably be just the overall beauty of this city, every building is picture perfect.

It can get pretty rainy and cold so bring a good jacket but prepare for when it will be warm as well.

Itinerary Overview

San Fransisco is such a beautiful city with so much to do. There is so much history with SF in the 60s so it was cool to see the place in the present time. Cable cars run up and down the huge hills of the city and wonderful views of the ocean and bridges at the top of hills. Houses and apartments have such a cute vintage style and architecture . Travel only 20 mins and you are at the coast with wonderful hikes like lands end and Baker beach to the Golden Gate Bridge you are in logs of nature. Baker beach is a wonderful place for a good view of the Golden gate. Sutro baths is a sight to see. many many places and beauties in SF. Weather was varying from 45-70 f *. The thrift shops in San Francisco are pretty infamous they are all pretty popular and trendy which can be expensive but the cheaper stores like goodwill still have awesome stuff to checkout.

The Sutro Baths is a wonderful activity to do during the day. You can either hike to the Sutro Bathes from Lands End hike or just use transportation to get there. I hiked there and it is totally worth it. The Sutro Baths are a super cool historical landmark with the ruins of what was once a giant outdoor public pool built in the 1880s . It is filled with beautiful trees nearby and flowers that smell like honey on top of that there is a little cave in the side of the sutra baths which is really fun to go inside. Totally safe and very interesting. Walking down to the Sutro baths is so lovely and I highly recommend seeing it during sunset. Also there are a bunch of little historical information boards around the landmark that talk about the ancient history of Native Americans when they occupied and lived in that area. The walk down you are surrounded with the best smelling flowers ever; it truly feel like you are walking into heaven!

The Golden Gate Park is a huge park filled with fun activities near the Golden Gate Bridge. It is such a beautifully designed park flowers blooming and art and creativity everywhere. There are many ,use,s to visit a ferriswheel and bikes to rent to bike all around the park. There is the museum of  science, museums of flowers and the one I visited was the Japanese Tea garden which was so pretty and relaxing vibes. This park is pretty big so I would definitely take some time to enjoy its beauty. There is live music sometimes playing in the park which is very nice. I also recommend a nice breakfast and coffee cafe near the park where you can grab some food for breakfast which is called rise n grind.  They have excellent avocado toast and coffee which is like a very cali style type of food to grab.

Q & A

  • What would you have changed?

    I wish I had more time to go all the way across the Golden Gate Bridge because I know there is a lot of nature waiting on the other side. it takes about one hour or a bit more to cross fully and then some time to explore the other side too so be sure you have a lot of tie for this.
  • Anything go wrong during the trip?

    nope
  • Restaurant recommendations?

    be sure to check out chinatown for some bomb Chinese food. The Chinatown in SF is historical for being the first chinatown in America that created the fortune cookie here.
  • Tips you would give a friend?

    bring a jacket and make sure you have enough money because food is pretty expensive over there.
  • Packing tips?

    bring a variety of clothes it gets war, and cold. Make sure to wear comfortable shoes because there are a lot of walking activities there plus your going up and down lots of hills.
