Things to do in San Francisco, California (CA): The Best Traveler Resources
Every neighborhood in San Francisco has its own personality, from the hippie chic of the Upper Haight to the hipster grit of the Mission. The Marina district boasts trendy bistros and postcard-perfect views of the Golden Gate Bridge, while Noe Valley offers quaint and quiet boutiques. Wave hello to the sea lions at Pier 39, and sample local cheese and charcuterie at the Ferry Building. Sit in on a yoga session in Dolores Park or marvel at the Dutch Windmill across from Ocean Beach.

The Officer's Club in the former Army Post now National Park, is a FREE museum and the oldest, most historic building in the Presidio and one of the two oldest buildings in all of San Francisco. It is open 10 - 5 all days except Monday and some evenings for events. It should be a must stop location for visitors and locals.

Reviewed By GilB867 - Memphis, United States
If you go to see the bridge this is a must see stop. This will provide a world of information on the bridge, construction, and history. You will enjoy your visit to the bridge that much more if you learn some of the interesting facts and history of the bridge first. Located at the south end of the Golden Gate Bridge. It can get very crowded on Saturday, Sunday, and during the summer months, but well worth the time.

Don't be discouraged by the numerous homeless people inside. This is a superb library, fairly new, and a sign of the city's commitment to learning. Some great collections inside.

My first time to the Moscone Center. I am told many updates have been made since last year. Blown away by the convention center. Wide-open lobby and easy registration. Lots of stairways, escalators, and elevators. Easy to move around and beautiful experience. The staff was very helpful. Blown away by the way they mobilized to make us feel psychologically better about flu season and the coronavirus scare. Staff were deployed to constantly wipe down every place your hands would touch in a day including escalator handrails, stairway handrails, every elevator button, seat, mobile phone charging station, and more.
