San Francisco is compact and hilly, best explored on foot and by its historic cable cars. Walk or cycle across the Golden Gate Bridge, then take the ferry to Alcatraz Island.

The city is known for its food, from Chinatown to the Ferry Building market. Napa and Sonoma wine regions are about an hour's drive north.
