Top things to do in San Francisco

San Francisco is a city of contrasts—steep hills and sweeping views, Victorian homes and cutting-edge tech, foggy mornings and sun-soaked afternoons. From cable cars clattering past street art alleys, fresh oysters by the bay, to neighborhoods that feel like entirely different worlds.

Whether you’re chasing sourdough in the Mission or golden hour at the Marina, your trip itinerary should match the moment. We cut through the noise and filtered out the fluff.

These are the top 5 activities travelers genuinely rave about.

#4 Golden Gateway

Shared by John Carrol – 208 ❤️

“Where tacos and tequila make magic 🌮🍹 Seeing it in pictures? Impressive. But standing on it, watching the fog roll in, feeling the wind whip past you? Unreal. The views, the sheer scale of it, the way it feels alive—it’s an experience, not just a landmark.”

#3 Fisherman’s Wharf

Shared by Kevin Schafer – 267 ❤️

“Food hall meets craft cocktails. We strolled past clam chowder bread bowls, street performers, and sea lions barking at the pier. Sure, it’s busy. But that’s part of the charm.”
