Where to Stay and what to See in San Francisco?|117552

There are also some pretty fancy-schmancy hotels out there in SF, and their rooms are nice, but rates may be very expensive.

Have fun in SF! :-)

We like to stay at any of the Joie de Vivre properties....they are all boutique hotels. The website provides a good ovw. Notice the _neighborhood experts_ and opinions. Hotel Rex is closer to Union Square. Alcatraz tour is really worth checking out...don_t spend too much time in Pier 39...it_s quite touristy.

Well if you see peir 39, just 100 feet from ther is the boat to alkatraz.. it_s actually an interesting bit of history if your into it. Check out cloit tower, Maybe the San Franciosco musium of art. Be carefull about the park. Don_t be in it after sunset. Alot of bad stuff happen in ther to people who dont_ know the area. Check out china town for a dash of asian culture as well as japan town. Go to little italy for italian area of san fran as well as russian hill. Check out north beach (do this the same day you do little italy) and see if you can find robin williams mansion along the water front! Go alittle beyone North Beach and see the golen gate. Take a ferry over to Saucilito and marin county for shopping and fun stuff. Lots of stuff to do and not enough time to do it!

I recommend to go to Sausalito _ Tiburon by bicycle, and come back from Tiburon by ferry with your bike. Many rental shops around the pier 39 and others. It was very nice!! Might take a day, but you can see the beautiful night view of the city of San Francisco from the ferry when you come back.

Have fun!!

Man its know different from San Fiero,...theres alot to do out there!!
