San Francisco
One of the best places to visit in San Francisco is Pier 39! There are shops, art galleries, and restaurants there, and it is a great place to find some souvenirs. Towards the back part of Pier 39, you can watch sea lions resting and fighting and see the view of Alcatraz from a distance. On the weekends, there are street performers at the piers. Near Pier 39, you can charter a boat to Alcatraz, take a bay cruise, or book a trip to Sausalito for the afternoon. It is important that you book in advance to guarantee a spot on most bay cruises or trips to Alcatraz. A short distance from the pier, you can visit Ghirardelli Square where you can buy some delicious chocolate, but get there early because the line is really long. They have a coffee house at Girardelli and a few shops. Near the Pacific Ocean by the pier, there is a small beach area. The water is cold but you can go swimming. You might find someone balancing rocks along the shore. There is a Rainforest Cafe close to Pier 39 that is worth a visit to and also a wax museum nearby. You can rent bikes close to the Pier. Plan to spend at least a day or two near the Pier. There is plenty to do!
