Bay Area Sightseeing

Golden Gate Park

This 1017 acre park is home to the M.H. De Young Museum, Japanese Tea Garden, Sculpture Museum, Botanical Gardens and some friendly bison. The primary purpose of this stop is to visit the famous Japanese Tea Garden where you will have 25 minutes to walk around and take pictures.

Pier 39 is easy to find. The new F Line light rail rumbles all the way up the Embarcadero and stops right in front. The Mason Street Cable Car line also stops nearby, and of course, every cab driver in town knows the way. Pier 39 is fun, despite some of its obvious commercial trappings, in a way that has to be experienced.

Lombard Street

Located in Nob Hill/Russian Hill, Lombard Street has been nicknamed “the most crooked street in the world”. While it actually is not the crookedest street, it does have a series of eight hairpin turns on a block between Hyde and Leavenworth. It’s actually one of the most attractive streets in San Francisco.

Alamo Square "6 Sisters"

Alamo in Spanish means poplar tree. In the early 1800’s the poplar trees lined Alamo Hill marking a resting place for anyone traveling by foot or horse. Today Alamo Square is one of the most photographed locations in San Francisco. Alamo Square, also known as "postcard row" at Hayes and Steiner Streets is made up of beautiful Victorian houses. The houses are perfectly lined in escalating formation. The area offers a perfect back-drop of San Francisco’s downtown skyscrapers. The most elite and colorful Victorians have been dubbed the “Six Sisters” or the “Painted Ladies”.
