3 Days in San Francisco

 

Hey all!

Do you only have three days in San Francisco? No worries! This itinerary is jammed packed, so let just jump in.

Transportation: 

From and to the airport/ hotel, we used uber. We traveled late and very early so public transportation was not an option. 

Around the city: Public bus - you can get a day pass for about $5. The bus can take you anywhere you want o go!

Day one:

Pier 39: Check out the shops, and grab breakfast or snacks. You can view Alcatraz from the pier, take great pictures, and see live performances. I personally love the Christmas Ornament shop and candy store! Don't miss out on seeing all the seals relaxing a little left of the pier. 

Alcatraz Island: Buy your tickets ahead of time, and catch a ferry ride to Alcatraz. You can wander around the island (the parts they allow) or take a guided tour. You can stay as long as you want, it takes about 1-2 hours to fully see everything and check out the shop.

Punch Line Comedy Club: For some nighttime fun, check out the Punch Line Comedy Club for fun laughs. There is a two-drink minimum even if it is water. 

Dinner: Get some great ramen from Hinodeya Downtown.

Day two:

Wake up early and head to MyMy's. They open at 9am. You can sit outside and the food is delicious.

Asian Art Museum: Reserve your time and ticket online and immerse yourself in Asian culture.

Golden Gate Park: Take a walk through the giant Golden Gate park and enjoy seeing flowers, art pieces, and playful animals.

Japanese Tea Garden: In Golden Gate Park, stop and enter the Japanese Tea Garden. Along with all the beautiful flowers and trees, they have a wonderful cafe with tasty tea and cookies.

Beach: The water in northern California is a little cold, but enjoy walking in the sand while you head to your next location. 

Sutro Baths: There is a steep hill to walk from the beach to get here, but the ruins of the old bath house near the ocean are something to see. Don't miss the cave! Walk through to hear and see the ocean hit the rocks below.

Golden Gate Bridge: If you are in San Francisco, you need to see the Golden Gate Bridge. We took some amazing photos, walked a quarter of it, and checked out the gift shop. 

Dinner: Halal Wing Plus - Best wings I have ever had!

Day 3:

Breakfast: Honey, Honey Cafe & Creperie - I got the burrito and it was amazing!

San Francisco Zoo: Next to the beach, enjoy the animals and walk around. P.S. they have penguins!

Japanese Mall: Located in Japan town, there are a ton of cool stores, food, and desserts.

Dinner: Marfuku Ramen - Best Ramen I have ever had. They have different spice levels, and it is just an experience. 

I hope you enjoy!

Thanks for traveling with me!
