ok - I went to SF in October last year with my oldest son for 4 nights - we stayed at HI Express Fishermans Wharf as I wanted to be in the touristy bit as we were doing touristy things.
SF is not a big city - you can walk from FW to US (uphill) quite easily and it's quite a nice walk - we walked from the hotel to the Coit Tower, Financial District, Union Square, Market St, City Hall and back to FW via Market, Union Square, North Beach. That was a nice way to spend day 1 when you are up at silly o'clock due to the time difference. Don't walk back from City Hall via any other route than Market Street though as you will find yourself in Tenderloin and you don't want to do that.
Market Street has a lot of homeless but they are harmless - just keep walking and dont' stare.
You can get a 3 day ticket which gets you on the Cable Cars and buses - a single ride on the cable car regardless of distance is $7 (regardless of distance) so a 3 day ticket makes sense - there is a cable car stop in FW area which takes you to Market St. You can get the F line street car from Market to FW (and the E line now as well). Get a 3 day ticket and you can ride the cable cars for fun. The advantage of FW is that the line to get on is never as busy as the line at Market so my strategy is Cable Car to Market and then bus/streetcar back to FW.
More to come..... |
