Golden Gate Bridge
Millions of people visit the iconic Golden Gate Bridge each year and walk along the entire 2.7km-long span to take in the beautiful views of the city and bay. Wrap up though as it can be windy…

Local knowledge

My favorite (US spelling) driving tour of San Francisco is to take people first to Coit Tower, overlooking the entire city, then wind down through Pacific Heights and over to SeaCliff (just to the west of the Golden Gate Bridge), for a view of some amazing mansions and beautiful views of the bridge. Then drive over the bridge to the Marin Headlands and head up to the Golden Gate lookout, for one of the most stunning views anywhere. Either stay a while in Marin and explore Sausalito, or zip back over the bridge for a meal at Greens, perhaps the best vegetarian restaurant in the world, with a gorgeous view of the bay. Finally, Pier 23 is a old style Jazz Club right on the bay, the perfect way to to end your day.

Nightlife

San Francisco pulsates with creative decadence. Restaurants and bars fill up early and stay open late. With more than 2,000 places to buy a drink, you never go thirsty. Such a huge diversity of bars makes any rule of thumb over dress codes, opening hours, cover charges and behaviour obsolete and it is best to check with individual establishments, if in doubt. Generally, however, attitude makes way for a more laid-back scene and, like all of California, smoking is not permitted. For the most part…

Sightseeing

Regularly voted best city in the USA in national polls, San Francisco is a visual feast that offers something for every eye. The many hilltops and landmarks, such as the 55m- (180ft-) high Coit Tower, on Telegraph Hill, provide grand vistas of the Bay and the city. Works of art are on display in myriad museums. For the more contemporary tastes, the high-tech offerings of Yerba Buena Centre for the Arts, and the AT&T Park, home of baseball's San Francisco Giants, are yet another side to the city.…
