San Francisco City Guide

Editor's Choice: Discover SF's restaurants, hotels, bars, activities & maps.

Trip by Skyscanner's San Francisco travel guide is the best way to discover the coolest places to go in the San Francisco Bay Area. Whether you're planning a vacation or simply exploring, Trip by Skyscanner offers insider reviews and photos for the best hotels, restaurants, and places to go in the Bay Area. Named Editor's Choice on Google Play, and featured in New York Times Travel, Conde Nast Traveler, Travel + Leisure, CNN Travel, Huffington Post, Outside and more.

Search any list of top ten favorite cities in the country (or the world), and you'll almost always find San Francisco or SF as the locals say. The clanging cable cars, Victorian row houses, quirky neighborhoods and drop-dead gorgeous waterfront make this city by the bay a traveler's paradise. But one of the best ways to experience San Francisco is live like a local for a day. Rent a bike and head into Golden Gate Park. Drop by the Japanese Tea Garden or California Academy of Sciences (this being San Francisco: the world's greenest museum, with a 'living' roof). Cruise over to the Ferry Building and graze on organic oysters, local cheese and sustainably grown fruit for lunch before catching a ferry to Sausalito, Tiburon or Alcatraz (even locals love 'The Rock') for a meander. After eating yet another local, sustainable meal (think heirloom tomato salad, duck confit, truffle risotto) for dinner at any one of San Fran's eighty gazillion neighborhood restaurants, find a late-night cafe and talk politics, take a streetcar to AT&T Park for a SF Giants game, check out an indie band or just pick a neighborhood and explore. But this guide isn't just about San Francisco. Use the Trip by Skyscanner San Francisco Bay Area City Guide to explore Silicon Valley, the Peninsula, the East Bay (Berkeley, Oakland, etc), and the North Bay.
