Last updated on March 23rd, 2025 at 04:52 pm

Don’t count San Francisco out! I know the city gets a lot of bad press right now, but San Francisco is a beautiful city filled with lovely, creative people. There is also so much to do in San Francisco! There are delicious restaurants with food from around the world, beautiful parks, and incredible views. But how do you see San Francisco if you’re limited on time? While one day in San Francisco isn’t enough to see everything, it’s enough to see the major tourist attractions!

This guide to the best things to do in one day in San Francisco will help you plan an itinerary that checks off your bucket list items while sharing a few local gems. 

This San Francisco itinerary is perfect for first-time visitors to the city. It’s a fairly touristy list of things to do, but that’s ok! You’ll still get to know San Francisco’s free spirit. I always encourage readers to make these itineraries their own. If you find a neighborhood that you want to explore more of, then lean into it and forget the rest. Spend your one day in San Francisco in a way that works for you!

The Best Time of Year to Visit San Francisco

San Francisco’s weather is just as quirky as the people who call the city home. The city is known for its microclimates. The Outer Sunset neighborhood could be fogged in while just a few miles away the sun is shining on the Mission! 

Summer in San Francisco (June-August)

While the summer is the busiest tourist season, it’s also the coldest time of the year. I’m sure you’ve heard the quote “the coldest winter I spent was a summer in San Francisco”. It’s true.

The fog rolls in thick and heavy, so much so that we’ve named the fog Karl. If you’re visiting in the summer, pack accordingly using my San Francisco packing list. 

As summer is the high tourist season, you can expect pricier accommodations. 

However, you’ll benefit from longer days. The sun usually sets around 9 p.m., allowing you time to do more things on your short trip.

Fall in San Francisco (September-November)

The best time of year to visit San Francisco based on weather is September and October. This is when San Francisco summer starts. Our temperatures increase and people flock to the city’s beaches. While it’s the shoulder season, accommodation prices are generally the same as the summer.

Winter in San Francisco (December-February)

The holiday season is a fun time to visit the city. San Francisco at Christmas is a beautiful sight. Not only does the city decorate with trees, gigantic ornaments, and ice skating rinks, but many locals go all out with their house decorations.

The winter is technically San Francisco’s rainy season, and thankfully in recent years we’ve had very wet winters to help combat California’s drought.

If it happens to rain while you’re visiting, head over to my favorite things to do on a rainy day in San Francisco. 

Accommodations are reasonably priced, except for right around Christmas time.

Spring in San Francisco (March-May)

Spring is also a beautiful time of year to visit San Francisco. cherry blossoms and magnolias bloom throughout the city, the air is crisp, and accommodations are reasonably priced.

It’s a great time to take in an early season baseball game or head over to Alcatraz Island!

How to Get Around San Francisco

First, if you’re considering driving in San Francisco, don’t. If it’s your first time in the city, you don’t want to be stressed about parking fines, car break-ins (we’ll get to that later), or traffic. 

Follow these instructions to get from SFO to downtown San Francisco, and then use one of the transportation methods listed below to get around the city. 

If you plan to do day trips from San Francisco, you can rent a car for the day. If San Francisco is a stop on a more extensive California road trip, make sure that your accommodation includes parking and leave your car there for the day.

On Foot

San Francisco is a relatively small city, only seven miles by seven miles. Many of the neighborhoods blend into the next. However, one thing you probably know about San Francisco is that it is a city built on hills. Some hills are so steep that they’ve put in staircases to help people climb them. So if Google Maps tells you that your destination is a 15 minute walk away, it doesn’t share that you will have to walk up multiple hills doubling the time and exertion to get there. 

To help you out, as we move throughout the itinerary, I’ll share with you what I think is walkable and when you should seek out other modes of transportation.

Public Transportation

While public transportation here isn’t as great as in other cities, the popular locations in this itinerary are well served by Muni. This is the cheapest way to get around San Francisco, so if you’re on a budget, this is for you! I recommend downloading the Muni Mobile app, which will allow you to purchase your cable car ticket and a one-day pass for a total of $13. 

Uber/Lyft

A more expensive way to move around the city is via Uber or Lyft. However, they’re very convenient to avoid having to walk the hills! I highly recommend using rideshare at night to ensure you get safely to your destination.

Hop-on, Hop-off Bus

The hop-on, hop-off Big Bus is the best way to get around San Francisco when you’re short on time. Sure, it’s touristy, but there are many activities on this list that you can see using this tour bus. 

Since you’re limited on time, this is the easiest, fastest, and most cost-effective way to see the best of San Francisco.

The bus stops at 20 locations, including Union Square, the Palace of Fine Arts, the Golden Gate Bridge, and Haight-Ashbury.

You can purchase your hop-on, hop-off bus ticket here.

What to Pack for San Francisco

Regarding what to wear in San Francisco, a comfortable pair of jeans and a T-shirt with a sweater are perfect for a day exploring. San Francisco is a casual but also very open city, so you can basically wear whatever you want, and no one will bat an eye. 

Don’t forget about the microclimates – bring layers with you just in case the weather turns!

With only one day in San Francisco, you’ll want to maximize your time out and about, so make sure you have anything you need to be comfortable all day. Plus, bring the following items.

• Backpack: Using a backpack to store everything you bring with you will make moving around the city easier. You’ll also have space for any San Francisco souvenirs you purchase. I’ve been loving this backpack for travel recently.
• Jacket: As mentioned above, the weather in San Francisco is quirky and known to change rapidly. Bring a warm jacket, at least for the evening when it cools down (even more than the day). A packable down jacket is perfect for San Francisco. 
• Comfortable Shoes: This itinerary includes some walking, so make sure that you’re wearing appropriate shoes! I love these Keen sneakers, they’re super comfortable for 20k plus steps. 
• Power Bank: You’ll be gone all day long taking lots of pictures with your phone and likely using it for directions as well. Make sure you stay powered up with a power bank. I’ve been using this one for years and I’m able to get multiple full charges out of it. It’s one of the best travel purchases I’ve made.
• Camera: If you like urban or landscape photography, San Francisco is a playground for you. There are so many great photo spots in San Francisco! Bring any camera gear you prefer, but a wide angle lens would be perfect for the urban landscape.
• Reusable Water Bottle: I don’t know about you, but traveling dehydrates me! Bring a reusable water bottle to fill up in parks, coffee shops, and restaurants to keep you hydrated and stay eco-friendly. I love this new Hydro Flask, which is lighter than the older versions and is perfect for travel.

Where to Find Public Restrooms in San Francisco

Ok, this might be a weird section. But as I finished the last one telling you to stay hydrated, I decided to tell you where to find public toilets! As someone who travels frequently and is out all day exploring, I know it can be difficult to find a restroom open to the public. I typically try to use a restroom before leaving a restaurant or cafe, but sometimes the timing just doesn’t work out.

In San Francisco, every park has a free public restroom and they’re usually reasonably clean. Specifically, parks in this itinerary that have clean public restrooms are: Washington Square Park, Dolores Park, and Golden Gate Park.

If possible, I would avoid using public restrooms downtown. Instead, I would pop into a hotel and use the lobby restroom.

You can of course use restrooms in coffee shops, but some may request that you purchase something.

San Francisco Solo Travel Safety Tips

In general, San Francisco is a safe city. We don’t have much violent crime here. However, homelessness is an issue that is only getting worse in the city. You will encounter homelessness. Many have mental health issues or drug addiction issues, but they also generally leave you alone.

That being said, there are some solo travel safety tips to keep. in mind when you’re out exploring

• Keep your phone out of sight. If anyone sees an opportunity to grab a phone out of someone’s hand and run, it could very well happen here, especially in the touristy areas of the city.
• Be aware of your surroundings. The Tenderloin area is where much of the drug use occurs, so I recommend avoiding it.
• Don’t leave valuables in your car. If you do have a car and are parking it in touristy areas, make sure that you take anything valuable with you. Car break ins are so common now, you’ll probably see window glass on the street as you walk around. It takes them less than 10 seconds to break the window and grab what they want!
• Avoid petty theft. Honestly, theft in stores is increasingly common as well. If you see it happening, just let it happen. There’s no need to get involved and potentially hurt. I worked in retail here for a bit and we were trained not to try to stop theft for our own safety. 

I hope this didn’t deter you from visiting! If you use common sense, use rideshare at nights, and stay aware of your surroundings, you’ll have a great time!

One Day in San Francisco Itinerary

Are you ready to have a perfect day in San Francisco? Let’s go!

Wake up in Union Square

You’re likely staying at a hotel near Union Square, so let’s start your day there! The first thing you will do is get out of Union Square. I avoid this area of the city! Yes, there is shopping here, but it’s shopping that you can pretty much get at any mall in the US.

The only time of year I like going to Union Square is during the holiday season when the Christmas tree and ice rink are up and Macy’s has animals for adoption in the store windows.

Ride San Francisco’s Cable Cars

To get out of Union Square you’re going to check off a major San Francisco bucket list item, riding the Cable Cars! You can use the Muni Mobile app, purchase a ticket ($8). Is eight dollars expensive for a single ticket? Yes. But you can’t come to San Francisco and not ride the cable cars. Even as a local, I love when I get the chance to ride the cable cars! 

Get on either the Powell/Hyde Line or Powell/Market Line. You can get on at the Powell and Market Street turnaround, but there will likely be a long line. If you get an early start and head there first thing in the morning, which you should with such a short time in the city, you should be ok. This is a great place to see how they turn the cable cars around! 

You can also hop on the cable cars anywhere along the route. So if you’re staying on Nob Hill, walk to the Sacramento and Powell intersection for your cable car ride.

Where are you riding it to exactly? The Lombard Street stop.

Walk Down Lombard Street

It’s time to see the “crookedest street in the world”. Well, that title may not be totally accurate, but it’s undoubtedly one of the most famous crooked streets! 

Lombard Street is a narrow, windy, one-way street connecting the Russian Hill and North Beach neighborhoods. It’s an active street that many people, myself included, love to drive down. This is probably when you’ll wish you had a car, but it’ll pass.

You can walk down the sidewalks of the street admiring the houses, like the stunning blue bougainvillea house. People live on this section of Lombard Street, so respect the residents and be mindful of the road.

Explore Fisherman’s Wharf + Pier 39 (Breakfast at Buena Vista Cafe)

Are you hungry? It’s time to head to Fisherman’s Wharf and Pier 39 for breakfast and to check off more of your San Francisco bucket list. You’ve already done so much, but there is still more to see!

At the bottom of Lombard Street, follow Leavenworth into Fisherman’s Wharf for the Buena Vista Cafe on the corner of Beach Street and Hyde Street. Don’t worry, it’s a short walk that’s mostly downhill.

Buena Vista Cafe is known worldwide for its Irish Coffee, but they also have a great breakfast! 

When you’ve finished, I recommend spending 30-45 minutes exploring Fisherman’s Wharf and Pier 39. Pier 39 is the most touristy area of the city known for its clam chowder in sourdough bowls from Boudin Bakery and delicious Dungeness Crabs!

Here are a few things to do in Fisherman’s Wharf along the way.

• Umbrella Alley: Umbrella Alley is located just a few steps from the Buena Vista Cafe. It’s a small alley filled with colorful murals by local artists, making it a great place for an Instagram photo.
• Ghirardelli Square: If it’s a cold morning and you want a hot chocolate, pop in here.
• In-N-Out Burger: If you are in the area later in the day and haven’t had In-N-Out yet, please try it. I worked here in high school (it was my first job), and I still eat here! Get everything animal-style!
• Musée Mécanique: This is a really unique experience in San Francisco. It’s a collection of antique coin-operated arcade games. If you’ve watched Princess Diaries, you’ve seen the Musée Mécanique. It’s free to enter, but you must pay to play the games.
• Sea Lions: The Sea Lions that have called Pier 39 home for ages are quite the tourist attraction themselves. You can see them sunbathing, parking, and playing on the docks at Pier 39! They’re so fun to watch!
• Ferris Wheel: To celebrate Golden Gate Park’s 150th anniversary, there was a giant Ferris Wheel in the park. It was recently moved to Pier 39 if you want to see San Francisco from above.

An alternative to the Buena Vista Cafe and Fisherman’s Wharf is to walk 15 minutes to Mama’s on Washington Square for breakfast and then follow the rest of the fun things to do in North Beach below.

Stroll through North Beach

Once you’re done in Fisherman’s Wharf, walk to North Beach via Taylor St., Mason St., or Powell St. (all flat) until you get to Washington Square Park. North Beach is San Francisco’s version of Little Italy and Washington Square Park is the center of it all. 

Marilyn Monroe and Joe DiMaggio were married at St. Peter and Paul’s Church and the best focaccia bread in the city is from Liguria Bakery on the corner of Filbert St. and Stockton St. People literally drive hours for the focaccia and it sells out fast!

If you’re up for an urban hike, walk up Telegraph Hill to the Coit Tower. You can enter Coit Tower and go to the top for panoramic views of San Francisco.

If you’re a book lover, head to City Lights Booksellers & Publishers, where you can learn the history of the Beatnik generation and find bestsellers.

Here are a few other fun things to do in North Beach.

• Cafe Trieste: Cafe Trieste is known for bringing Italian espresso to San Francisco. Stop in for a caffeine fix to help you continue on with the rest of this itinerary!
• Club Fugazi: Seeing the acrobatic show Dear San Francisco at Club Fugazi is one of my favorite things to do in San Francisco. It’s an acrobatic love letter to San Francisco and would be a great way to spend your one night there if you’re over the touristy things.
• Eat: There are several great places to eat in North Beach. My favorite restaurants are
  • Tony’s Pizza: They’re known for their award-winning Neapolitan style pizza (the Cal Italia is so good) but they also have Detroit square and New York style. Their menu also includes other Italian specialities. 
  • Golden Boy Pizza: The clam and garlic is so good. You can get it by the slice.
  • The Italian Homemade: Love their pesto sauce on gnocchi.
  • Mario’s Bohemian Cigar Store Cafe: This spot overlooks Washington Square Park and has great sandwiches. I love sitting at one of their tables outside on a sunny day with a glass of wine and sub while people watching.
  • Original Joe’s: Original Joe’s is a San Francisco institution with classic Italian dishes and reinvented options. Anything you get here will be delicious.

Explore Chinatown + Have Lunch

After North Beach, walk down Grant Avenue to enter the heart of Chinatown. You’ll notice how one San Francisco neighborhood easily blends into the next as the architecture changes to Chinese designs and lanterns are strung across the street. 

These two neighborhoods are why I love San Francisco. They’re two different cultures and neighborhoods blending into each other! 

Chinatown is where Chinese immigrants made their home in San Francisco. You’ll notice that Grant Ave has plenty of tourist shops and restaurants. One block over, on Stockton Street, you’ll find a variety of Asian grocery markets.

One thing I love about Chinatown is that there are plenty of alleyways to wander down that often have excellent food. One of the alleyways houses the home of the fortune cookie. You can visit the Golden Gate Fortune Cookie factory to see them being made and make a cookie with your own fortune in it!

Here are a few other fun things to do in Chinatown:

• LiPo Lounge: If you’re looking for a solid drink, get the Chinese Mai Tai from LiPo Lounge, which is Anthony Bourdain approved.
• Hang Ah Tea Room: Eat dim sum from here while watching locals play basketball at the Willie Wong playground.
• Z&Y Bistro: It’s around lunchtime now, so eat here for lunch. The Mu Shu Pork is delicious!

Haight Ashbury + The Four Seasons Victorian Homes

Many itineraries will tell you to head to Alamo Square to see the Painted Ladies made famous by Full House. While it’s a great place to visit, the only thing to do is look at them, snap a photo, and head out. You could grab a sandwich and picnic in the park on a nice day, but we are trying to maximize your time in the city!

Instead, take an Uber to the corner of Waller and Masonic in the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood. Here, you’ll find the four-season Victorian Homes, which I find more beautiful and intricate than the Painted Ladies. Each home is painted as either Winter, Spring, Summer, or Fall.

Then walk down Waller to Ashbury and turn on Ashbury towards Haight Street to see the famous Haight-Ashbury sign. 

The Haight is known for the summer of love in the late 1960s when thousands of people flocked to the city to express anti-war sentiment, experiment with hallucinogenic drugs, and embrace free love. This free, flower-child, spirit remains with multiple head shops and a particular smell in the air.

Today there is excellent vintage and thrift shopping, street art, and gorgeous homes to gawk at.

Here are some of my favorite things to do in the Haight-Ashbury:

• Vintage Shopping: From luxury vintage stores to Goodwill, you’ll find something unique in one of Haight’s many thrift and vintage stores.
• Victorian Homes: If vintage shopping isn’t your thing, head to the side streets of Waller and Page for unique Victorian homes.
• Famous House Walk: Many famous musicians, including Jimmi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and the Grateful Dead, called the Haight home in the ’60s. You can find where they once lived and check out the homes. Many are private residences, so please be respectful.

Chill in Golden Gate Park

The Haight-Ashbury neighborhood leads directly into Golden Gate Park, where you could easily spend an entire day and still not see all of it! There are two museums (the California Academy of Sciences and the de Young Museum), a Conservatory of Flowers, and a Japanese Tea Garden, to name a few things to see in Golden Gate Park. 

That’s not even including the herd of bison located on the west end of the park near Ocean Beach!

There are a number of bike rental shops in the Haight, so you could rent a bike to see more of it than you could on foot. But with the limited time you have, I recommend going for a walk through Robin Williams Meadow, past Hippie Hill, and across John F. Kennedy Drive to Peacock Meadow.

If you think you’ve got extra time, here are really unique experiences to have in Golden Gate Park:

• Hamon Observation Tower: Located next to the de Young Museum, the tower is free to enter. Take the elevator to the top for sweeping views of San Francisco and a small gift shop.
• Boat Ride: Rent a canoe or paddle boat and row around Stow Lake. This is incredibly romantic if you’re visiting with a partner.
• Cherry Blossoms: If you’re visiting in the spring, check out the cherry blossoms at Shakespeare Garden or the Japanese Tea Gardens.
• See the Redwoods: If you want to visit the Redwoods, but don’t have time, you can see a grove of redwood trees in the Botanical Gardens.

Watch Sunset at the Golden Gate Bridge

I’ve been saving the best for last, sunset at the Golden Gate Bridge! You can’t come to San Francisco, whether it’s your first or 100th trip, without visiting the Golden Gate Bridge. 

From Golden Gate Park take an Uber or Lyft to the Golden Gate Overlook. This is the perfect place to watch the sunset at the Golden Gate Bridge. 

The Golden Gate Overlook is where you’ll have the iconic view of the bridge through two Cypress Trees. It’s surrounded by an old battery that you can walk around to find your favorite vantage point. The best part about this location is that you can see the sunset from the Golden Gate Bridge out to the Pacific Ocean and across to the Marin Headlands. It’s the best place to end your one day in San Francisco.

If this view doesn’t work for you, here are some of my other favorite views of the Golden Gate Bridge:

• Fort Point: Fort Point is just below the bridge. While it’s not great for sunset, you’ll sometimes see surfers here, which is really cool!
• Marin Headlands: If you can cross the bridge, the Marin Headlands provide ample viewpoints. The best are Battery Spencer and Hawk Hill. 
• Ocean Beach & Sutro Baths: I absolutely love Sutro Baths at sunset! You can wander the trails around the ruins or head down to Ocean Beach to enjoy the sunset in the sand!

Dinner in the Mission District

It’s time for dinner! Hop back in an Uber and Lyft towards the Mission District. There are so many fantastic restaurants in the Mission, you really can’t go wrong. While the Mission is known for its Mexican food, you’ll also find great Burmese, Italian, and other international eats.

There are also some great cocktail bars (The Beehive and Wildhawk are excellent) for an after-dinner drink.

Here are my recommendations for where to eat in the Mission:

• Burma Love: Great Burmese food. If you’ve never had it, this is a great place to try it. Get the tea leaf salad, one of the curries, and coconut rice.
• Beretta: If you’re craving Italian food, this is the place to go! It’s got a great ambiance, a wine selection, and, of course, delicious food!
• La Taqueria: For an authentic Mission Burrito, hop in line at La Taqueria! Remember to order it El Dorado style. This means they will grill the tortilla once it’s filled. Delicious! This is a great budget-friendly dinner that will definitely fill you up. You can take it and eat it at Mission Dolores Park for sunset (if you didn’t make it to the Golden Gate Bridge).

If you have more time, explore these other things to do in the Mission!

Evening Stroll along the Embarcadero

As you’re likely staying at a hotel downtown, your one day San Francisco itinerary will end there. Return to your accommodation, but don’t go to bed just yet.

There is something magical about downtown San Francisco after dark. Soak in the city’s lights with an evening walk along the Embarcadero. 

Start at the Ferry Building, a beautiful sight lit up at night, and walk to Pier 7. This pier is an excellent photo opportunity as it appears to lead directly to the Transamerica Building and has excellent views of the Bay Bridge and Coit Tower. 

Alternatively, you could walk in the other direction from the Ferry Building towards Cupid’s Span, an art installation with a view of the Bay Bridge and the city!

If walking alone at night in the city makes you nervous, I totally understand. Instead you can join a haunted pub crawl to learn about San Francisco’s haunted history or take a spooky night tour of Alcatraz Island.

Where to Stay in San Francisco

There are many hotels throughout the city that are suitable for any budget or travel style. However, for this short itinerary, I recommend booking your accommodation in a centrally located area close to public transportation and most of the things to do on this itinerary. This means you should look for hotels in Fisherman’s Wharf and Union Square. Here are my recommendations for each location.

Fisherman’s Wharf Hotels  

The Argonaut Hotel

The Argonaut is an iconic San Francisco hotel. Most of the incredible rooms have views of the Golden Gate Bridge, and if not, it doesn’t matter because all you’ll have to do is step outside to see it! If you’re willing to splurge, this is the place to stay for a good combination of luxury, convenience, and style. 

Check rates and availability here.

The Kimpton Alton Hotel

Stay in this hip hotel with an incredibly popular restaurant, Abacá, on-site! In addition to the typical Kimpton Hotel experience and its convenient location, valet parking is available. Breakfast is not complimentary, but you can include it in the price of your room. If you’re traveling with a pet, they’re welcomed at the Kimpton Alton Hotel!

Check rates and availability here.

Hotel Zoe

Stay at Hotel Zoe, part of the Noble House Hotel collection, the same as the Argonaut Hotel, just a bit more budget-friendly. A bonus (besides valet parking) is a FREE 2-hour bike rental. You’ll really be able to get out and see the city when you stay here. There’s also an Italian restaurant, Pescatore, onsite!

Check rates and availability here.

Holiday Inn Express & Suites

A bit more of a budget-friendly option is the Holiday Inn Express. There is absolutely nothing wrong with staying here. You know exactly what you’ll get with a Holiday Inn (complimentary breakfast and onsite parking) and it’s well located next to the Powell Hyde Cable Car line and other Fisherman’s Wharf attractions. 

Check rates and availability here.

Union Square Hotels

CitizenM Hotel

Located near the Powell St. BART station (which makes getting here from SFO easy!) this hip hotel offers a rooftop patio, lobby bar, and aesthetically pleasing rooms. A buffet breakfast is included. Plus it’s near the Cable Car turnaround making your morning start easy!

Check rates and availability here.

JW Marriott

You know what you’re going to get with a Marriott, which is why I recommend it. It helps that it’s a stunning hotel! It’s in Union Square, so you’ll have easy access to the cable cars to start your day, and you’ll return to a cozy room to recover! Parking is available for an additional fee.

Check rates and availability here.

The Cift Royal Sonesta

This hotel is centrally located just off Union Square on Geary St and has beautifully furnished rooms. Staying here, you’re just steps away from a great day in San Francisco. Parking is available onsite for an additional daily fee.

Check rates and availability here.

This is a jam-packed 1-day San Francisco itinerary. You’ve seen all of the best things in San Francisco. You’ve seen multiple neighborhoods, the major tourist attractions, and some local gems. If you have extra time in San Francisco, I encourage you to check out this three-day itinerary for ideas on spreading this out and seeing more of this beautiful city. 

Alternatively, if you can extend your day in San Francisco to a long weekend, take a day trip to Muir Woods or Sausalito!

Remember to make this itinerary your own and have fun!
