Tourists should heed the following advice, though: Check the ["weather" forecast] before you pack.<br> + <br> + Use this page to explore information about the typical tourist attractions, but if you want to see the city from a resident's perspective, you should read the rest of the [wiki:sf wiki]!<br> + <br> + =Getting here=<br> + ==By plane==<br> + There are three major ["airports"] in the ["Bay Area"]: The ["San Francisco International Airport"] (which is actually about 13 miles south of the city), the ["Oakland International Airport"], and the ["Norman Y. Mineta San Jose International Airport" San Jose International Airport].<br> + ==By train==<br> + ["Amtrak"] is an international rail system that doesn't have a station in San Francisco, but it has a connection to ["BART"], which is the local light rail system with stations all over the Bay Area. ["Caltrain"] stretches about 70 miles south to Gilroy.<br> + ==By car==<br> + Visitors coming from the north can take southbound ["Highway 101"] across the ["Golden Gate Bridge"] into the city. Those from the east can take westbound ["Highway 80"] across the ["Bay Bridge"]. Two freeways from the ["South Bay"] lead into the city: Northbound 101 and ["Highway 280"] can get them here.<br> + ==By boat==<br> + Several ["ferries"] carry visitors and commuters into the city from all over the Bay Area.<br> + =Getting around=<br> + Public transportation options include ["Muni"], ["BART"] and ["cable cars"]. ["Cabs" Taxis] are relatively easy to flag down, especially in the northeastern part of the city, which is denser with tourists, commuters and shoppers. Visitors can also choose to rent ["bicycles" bikes] or ["cars"].<br> + =Places to stay=<br> + ==Hotels==<br> + There are many ["hotels"] in San Francisco. The larger ones are generally located near ["Union Square"], but lodging can be found in all corners of the city.<br> + ==Subleases==<br> + Visitors can visit ["craigslist"] for housing swaps and temporary sublets. These are often furnished, and some subleases come with the requirement that the visitor tend to the resident's pets or plants. Subleases typically appear all over the city, as opposed to downtown, so people choosing this option should familiarize themselves with the ["Muni"] and ["BART"] systems, or make sure to keep plenty of ["cabs" cab] fare handy.<br> + ==Hostels==<br> + There is a number of ["hostels"] in the city where one can stay for a relatively small fee.<br> + =Places to go=<br> + ==Dining==<br> + Typical San Francisco food (i.e. seafood) can be found in ["restaurants"] all over ["Fisherman's Wharf"]. Adventurous visitors might try ["street food" hot dog carts].<br> + ==Drinking==<br> + ["Bars"] abound in this city, with the highest concentration in ["North Beach"], ["the Mission"], ["the Haight"] and ["the Tenderloin"].<br> + ==Museums==<br> + San Francisco has an impressive collection of ["museums"] that showcase San Francisco history, as well as those specializing in art, natural history and science. There's also a ["San Francisco Zoo" zoo]!<br> + ==Shopping==<br> + Perhaps the most popular shopping destination for San Francisco souvenirs is ["Pier 39"] in Fisherman's Wharf. ["Union Square"] is the city's ["shopping"] district.<br> + ==Shows &amp; Entertainment==<br> + The city is full of ["music venues"], ["movie theaters"] and ["comedy clubs"].<br> + ==Tours==<br> + Visitors to the city often choose to go on guided tours within the city and to surrounding areas (see "trips" below). Some of the most popular tours include a visit to ["Alcatraz" Alcatraz Island], a trip across the ["Golden Gate Bridge"] and a drive down ["Lombard Street"] (the squiggly part, anyway).<br> + ==Trips==<br> + People staying in the area for more than just a couple of days might want to consider driving to ["Napa County"] for ["wine"] tasting or hiking in ["Muir Woods"].<br> + <br> + [[Include(photorequest)]]</span> </td> </tr> </table> </div>
