Discovering San Francisco on foot, where the individual neighborhoods naturally connect into one vibrant whole. Start at the Embarcadero, where you'll find views of the bay and the iconic Bay Bridge, and take a pleasant walk along the waterfront towards Fisherman’s Wharf. Here, you'll encounter the bustling atmosphere of the harbor, street performers, and fresh seafood right by the water. From there, head into the hillier parts of the city, and the climb to Coit Tower will reward you with one of the most beautiful panoramas of San Francisco, with the city stretching out between the ocean and the hills. And there's still so much more to discover.

A day in San Francisco combines iconic landmarks with a local vibe and convenient public transport, making it easy to get around the city. In the morning, you'll head to Alcatraz Island, taking a ferry across the bay to dive into the fascinating history of the famous prison while enjoying views of the city. After returning, you'll hop on the subway and tram to reach the vibrant Chinatown, where you'll find narrow streets, colorful storefronts, and the authentic atmosphere of the oldest Chinese district in the US. You'll end the day at the famous Lombard Street, walking down its winding path and taking in the views of the city sprawling across the hills and the bay.
