“If you’re going to San Francisco…”, Scott McKenzie knew what he was singing about.
This cozy city is so lovely and so attractive.
Probably, not all the people are wearing flowers in their head but they are simply nice.
The city has many restaurants and night clubs as well as hotels and rented accommodations which are rather convenient.
Here’s a two-day plan for your best stay in San Francisco that we hope you will like and follow.
The First Day
9:00 AM – Eating Out at Brenda’s French
The aromas in the air of this eatery will not leave anyone indifferent.
Here are pancakes, shrimps, cereals and everything else for a healthy breakfast or brunch, with dinner and kid’s meal in the menu.
In addition, they will willingly prepare food to go if you do not want to spend time sitting.
11:00 PM – Getting to the Marin Headlands
First of all, you have to cross the Strait Bridge.
Start walking from Brenda’s for about twenty minutes and you will reach the bus stop.
Ask locals for some help or use your navigator.
In the other end of the bridge, you have to find the most convenient hiking pass for you.
There are so many cool things to discover like Marin Mammal Center, Rodeo Beach, Bay Area Discovery Museum, and more.
4:00 PM – Having Lunch Like a Mexican
After an exciting walk, you will be able to get some simple Mexican food on your way back from the headlands.
Don’t miss the chance to stop and seize the moment.
Just in case, you have to take Route one and stop at Nopalito.
5:30 PM – Enjoying the Sunset on the Shore of the Ocean
The sunset has always been stunning, but you will definitely say that the one over the Pacific is the one to remember.
Go for it.
8:00 PM – Non-Horror Twin Peaks
Going to Twin Peaks in the evening has a few advantages.
First, there are fewer people.
Second, you’ll get the heartbreaking views of San Francisco in lights.
Keep in mind the wind and absence of parking places.
The Second Day
9:00 AM – Get Some Food at Mama’s
It really feels like home.
Mama’s give you a great choice of dishes and a unique coffee aroma.
You will start your second day in San Francisco with the freshest fruits, buns, cakes, and special banana bread French toasts.
10:00 AM – Get The Best of the Bay at Coit Tower
This is a 64-meter tower that you can climb up to see the city of San Francisco.
Although, do not spend too much time here and be sure to get down to get inside the tower and witness the murals there.
They are what the iconic tower is now famous for.
11:30 PM – The Fisherman’s Wharf Investigation
This wharf will become a starting point for catching a ship to Alcatraz.
The fisherman’s wharf has been a popular place for eating crabs and watching the sea lions that get out from the water at one of the piers.
2:00 PM – Chasing a Runaway from Alcatraz
This prison became known far beyond the San Francisco borders after the movie of the same name was released.
You can get into one of the boats with the tourists who are willing to see the path from and to Alcatraz.
Try to imagine what chasing a runaway from Alcatraz could look like.
5:00 PM – Grab a Meal at the Italian Restaurant
The best Italian food can be found in the Italian restaurant which is only 15 minutes away from the Wharf.
They serve the dishes from under the knife with the best quality products.
8:00 PM – Rusted Mule Welcomes Guests
They have recently opened a cocktail bar and it’s getting one of the few places around the town where people love to be.
The spaces are rather big and you do not need to worry about the size of the room for your celebrations.
11:00 PM – Infusion is Waiting for You
The club that you can find underground offers you lots of opportunities to dance and drink.
You can eat the most outstanding Asian-inspired food at one of the culinary American capitals.
