Fog rolls across the Golden Gate Bridge while cable cars clank up impossibly steep hills lined with candy-colored Victorian houses. At Pier 39, sea lions bark and pose as if auditioning for wildlife documentaries. The Mission's muralists transform walls into canvases while locals debate which taqueria serves the definitive burrito. Alcatraz broods in the bay, its audio tour narrated by former guards and inmates. Golden Gate Park hides surprises around every bend – Japanese gardens, actual bison, and museums where you could happily lose an afternoon. For the best city views, skip the tourist crowds at Lombard Street and head to Twin Peaks, where the whole magnificent bay panorama unfolds at your feet.
