Say bye to arctic weather conditions and enjoy the soothing breeze you’ll get while walking the streets of San Francisco. Doesn’t that sound like a dream come true? You’ll get access to a diversity of foods, cultures, and shopping centers that will keep your heart happy. If you haven’t visited yet, Fall is the perfect time to make your move.
The Golden Gate Bridge may immediately come to mind when you think of San Francisco but there are tons of things to do and see in this ever-evolving Bay area. In fact, many of the largest tech firms reside in San Francisco which creates an innovative feel that is unique to this city.
When you’re ready to explore the grounds of San Francisco, you can add these 3 items to your list to create an enjoyable experience.
1. Fisherman’s Wharf
You’ve probably heard of Fisherman’s Wharf before because it’s one of the busiest tourist stops in the Bay area. This waterfront district gives you a view of the Golden Gate Bridge and access to exclusive shops and tours.
Don’t forget to stop by a good seafood restaurant and try the clam chowder and sourdough bread at Fisherman’s Wharf. Chocolate lovers have to check out Ghirardelli Square to get samples of some of the best chocolates in the city.
2. Cruise Around Golden Gate Bridge
Some people only get a glimpse of the Golden Gate Bridge but you can hop on a cruise boat and take a tour of the entire area.
The San Francisco waters will definitely calm your mind. You’ll sail directly under the Golden Gate Bridge and gain access to illuminating views of its massive span and unusual rust coloring. While on the boat ride you will pass by the North Beach shoreline, Aquatic Park, Hyde Street Pier, and the ships of the National Maritime Historic Park.
3. Museum of Ice Cream
Have you heard of the Museum of Ice Cream? I was walking around downtown and noticed groups of people standing around it and was immediately intrigued.
The Museum of Ice Cream is an experiential art project that is meant to connect millennials with interesting experiences in one place. If you’re looking for a place to take top-notch Instagram-friendly photos, this is the place to be. Check out brightly-colored, candy-themed exhibits in a maze full of surprises.
Make sure you stop by the rainbow of gummy bears and capture your best angle in front of the popsicle palettes. It’s every big kid’s dream come true!
