Well done. For Alcatrax, remember you'll need to book several weeks in advance during the high season, so do so before you get to the city. There are special tours with guides that take small groups of people to places most tourists don't see. After the prison, don't miss the gardens on the side facing the Golden Gate, they are really lovely and the views are amazing. You'll also need to book a time to visit and park at Muir Woods. Visiting Sausilito by catching a ferry from the ferry building is well worth it, especially if you don't visit Alcastraz. You'll get a chance to get out on the Bay and see both bridges and the city skyline. When you get to Sausalito, grab a sandwich and have lunch sitting near the sea lion statue along the shore. If the tide is really high, all you'll see is his nose! --- Now the bad and sad. If you drive into the city, head straight to your hotel and get your luggage out. Leave nothing in your car! Thieves come from across the Bay Area to break into your car! The infamous tent camps and open air drug dealing are mostly in the Tenderloin, which you should simply avoid. There's really nothing there to see anyway. Homelessness is more visible in SF because we are such a small place. Unlike more sprawling American cities there are simply not as many places for the homeless to hid out of site.

Just adding for folks who aren't familiar - these sights by the bridge are in the Presidio of San Francisco. It's a free national park site, with enough family-friendly activity to spend the whole day.

This video brings tears to me 😪 I'm 59 yrs old and all I've ever wanted to do is walk across GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE 🌉. Unfortunately, I've recently been diagnosed with Lewy Body as Robin Williams had. I'll probably never get to go now but please know this video really made a wonderful impact. Thank you for sharing this and God Bless your family. Subscribed 👍

I'll be there Oct 24-Nov 7. Used to live there in the 80-90's. I used to hike the bridge about twice a month. Can't wait for this trip....And getting a friend's apt for the whole time!!!

We live in the Bay but I always love watching travel videos of SF 😍. I love my sourdough just like you guys. Funny story- I was in Ontario, Canada a few months back and was having breakfast at a local cafe. They asked what bread I wanted and I said, “sourdough pls”. They just looked at me funny, so I just settled for wheat 😂

Back in ˋ91, I WALKED the Golden Gate Bridge (and many a hill, enough to know that I would NOT want to cycle there!), it was one of the best things I ever did. BEAUTIFUL city, thank you for bringing back all the wonderful memories! And there is nothing more beautiful than watching the fog drift in from a window a flor or two up. Kind regards from Germany, Nicola

I used to work on Pier 39. In 1999. Was beautiful. Think, I will keep my memories…

Love watching your beautiful family enjoying travel. Such a wonderful gift to give your children by opening up the world to them at an early age. Safe journeys always!

[nicolalederer]

Ooooh, sourdough bowls with clam chowder… So good and I say that coming from a country famous for the wide variety of breads (Germany), Boudin‘s is AMAZING!

[toscana]
