Uber for sure! Add the app on your phone and use it! Very reasonable.

The Hilton at union square is quite handy and we used the hop on hop off bus to get around. We walked a couple blocks from the hotel to union square and bought tickets for the bus at 40 dollars each. It stops at many stops along the route. You can get off and they tell you where to get back on. We got off at Coit tower to get the best view of San Francisco, then Lombard street, it's a long walk but well worth it when you get to the top and see the beautiful area and winding road. The bus also stops at fisherman s wharf and I would highly recommend the codmother for fish and chips lunch, the bus also goes over the Golden Gate Bridge and stays there 10 minutes for photos or you can wait for the next bus. There are a few stops on the way back to union square but we didn't have time to do them. If you want to do Alcatraz you need to book tickets in advance or you might not get them on the day as they sell out fast Enjoy, we loved it and would go back

I would vote for the East Bay as a base with sojourns into the City, but I would stay more on the Berkeley/Kensington/Solano side of things rather than Oakland. Weatherwise, fall and spring are the sunnier times for SF weather.

Rental Vehicles Paying Tolls at the Golden Gate Bridge The Golden Gate Bridge toll is assessed in the southbound direction, going into San Francisco. Before driving a rental car over the Golden Gate Bridge into San Francisco, customers are strongly advised to ask the rental car company how tolls are processed. To avoid confusion: Speak with your rental agent about how tolls are assessed when crossing the Golden Gate Bridge, or or any other Bay Area toll bridge or toll road. Ask if you have to Opt-In or Opt-Out of the agency's tolling program, if one is offered.

The prevailing winds are off the water so it should blow any smoke away from you.Have a good time. Consider giving me a helpful.

Hello there! Lucky you, I love SF Bay area; enjoy every moment. I went on tripadvisor or viator to check out everything to do in the Bay Area. I purchased 4 tickets for us to go on a Sunset Cruise from Pier 39 1/2, Red & White Fleet's tour. Watch your tours though since they offer several; be sure it's the "Sunset Cruise" which is absolutely beautiful traveling up beyond the Bay Bridge and seeing the stunning colors of the sunset over AT&T Field and the city scape. Each purchasing passenger is given tickets for two alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverages and about 45 minutes into the cruise, a buffet of delicious sliders, individual salads, various cheeses, crackers, fruit, Crudités and various bitesize desserts. Although everything is beautifully presented and delicious, be sure to be quick because some people stock up like there is no tomorrow. It gets chillly once the sun goes down on the water, so take a wrap in a tote to be prepared and stay out on deck for as much, if not all, of the breathtaking sights of San Francisco you are about to cherish as beautiful memories for years to come. Hope this helps you; I'm so envious but you've triggered my wonderful memories now.

There is a "reasonably priced" garage at Stockton & O'Farrell.

Yo estuve la semana pasada y llovió mucho. Aún así, lo disfruté, pero yo elegiría otra época para poder disfrutarlo más.

I'm not sure if you're talking about a shuttle from the airport to downtown? You can walk inside the airport to BART, the underground subway system which is actually above ground at that point, which takes you to various points downtown. There are also airport shuttles which costs a bit more (around $20 one way) -some examples, SuperShuttle, Prime Time, numerous others. The "muni" system also takes you everywhere, but not to the airport- it is cheap and easy. Be sure to bring WARM jacket(more than a hoodie or light windbreaker) as temperatures drop drastically when the sun goes down and the wind comes up....no matter how warm it gets by day.
