San Francisco , officially the City and County of San Francisco, is a commercial, financial, and cultural center within Northern California. With a population of 808,988 residents as of 2023, San Francisco is the fourth-most populous city in the U.S. state of California behind Los Angeles, San Diego, and San Jose.

It may measure less than 50 square miles and have a population that doesn’t even crack a million, but  San Francisco  justly ranks as one of the greatest cities in the world. Famous for grand-dame Victorians, cable cars, a dynamic waterfront, and a soaring golden bridge, this city truly has it all. With trend-defining cuisine ranging from Michelin-starred dining to outrageous food trucks; world-renowned symphony, ballet, theater, and opera; plus almost boundless outdoor adventures, San Francisco justifiably stands out as one of the ultimate must-visit cities on any traveler’s wish list.

The hardest part may be deciding where to go first. (Well, that and packing for the city’s famously unpredictable weather.) The  Golden Gate Bridge  is one of the city’s most iconic landmarks; you can walk or bike across the span to the  Marin Headlands . Or stay on the San Francisco side and stroll over to the  San Francisco Palace of Fine Arts , the  Presidio , or  Lands End , a rugged, windswept playground where you can watch for whales and check out the ruins of the Sutro Baths.

Fisherman’s Wharf  beckons with its seafaring vibe and amazing seafood restaurants; look out across the water and you’ll see another fascinating destination not to be missed,  Alcatraz Island . (You can book an excursion there by boat with  City Experiences —they offer day and nighttime tours, as well as a behind-the-scenes tour.) The bustling plazas of  Union Square  and  Ghirardelli Square  offer shopping and more great dining options. The city’s patchwork of distinct neighborhoods—the  Mission District ,  Chinatown ,  North Beach ,  Haight-Ashbury ,  Nob Hill , and so many more—offer endless diversions both day and night.

Despite its famously steep hills,  San Francisco  is remarkably easy to get around. Clanging  cable cars  are beloved icons and a convenient way to travel between the waterfront and Union Square.  Historic streetcars  run along the  Embarcadero  with stops for  Fisherman’s Wharf , the  Ferry Building Marketplace , and  Oracle Park , home of the Major League’s Giants baseball team. For an easy, affordable ride, look for one of hundreds of bikeshare stations and hop on a  Bay Wheels bike  (or ebike) and go.

The underground  BART  metro system travels within and beyond San Francisco, with routes south to  San Francisco International Airport  and east to  Berkeley ,  Oakland ,  Pleasanton , and other communities. And San Francisco’s local  MUNI  buses travel citywide.

Insider tips: If you plan to visit several of the attractions it can cover, consider getting a  CityPASS ; it includes prepaid admission to the  California Academy of Sciences ; a  Blue & Gold Fleet Bay Cruise Adventure ; a choice between the  Aquarium of the Bay  or the  Walt Disney Family Museum , and a choice between  The Exploratorium  or the  San Francisco Zoo and Gardens .
