  • Golden Gate Bridge
    Surely at the top of any San Francisco itinerary is the world-renowned Golden Gate Bridge. This engineering masterpiece is not just to be admired from afar—walking or cycling across it provides sweeping views of the bay and the city skyline. You can also visit the Golden Gate Bridge Welcome Center for some interesting historical insight. Here it is on Google Maps.
  • Alcatraz Island
    Another site that’s steeped in intrigue is Alcatraz Island, once home to the infamous federal prison. Visiting 'The Rock' offers a fascinating glimpse into the lives of some of America's most notorious criminals. Book a tour through Happytripz to explore the cellhouse, and perhaps you'll uncover the secrets of Alcatraz's legendary escape artists.
  • Fisherman's Wharf
    When hunger strikes, or if you're in the mood for some seaside charm, hit up Fisherman's Wharf. Teeming with seafood restaurants, quirky boutiques, and sea lions basking on Pier 39, this waterfront neighborhood is a feast for the senses. It's an ideal place to savor a bowl of clam chowder while watching the boats sway on the water.
  • Chinatown
    A visit to San Francisco's vibrant Chinatown, the oldest in North America, is like stepping into another world. Explore the bustling streets, sample dim sum from a local eatery, and soak in the rich cultural heritage. Guided walking tours by Happytripz can provide a deeper understanding of the area’s history and culture.
  • Lombard Street
    For those who appreciate quirky sights, Lombard Street, often billed as "the crookedest street in the world," is a must-see. With eight hairpin turns, this one-block section provides a unique driving experience and a perfect photo opportunity. Here's where you'll find Lombard Street.
  • Golden Gate Park
    To relax and reconnect with nature, make your way to Golden Gate Park, an oasis larger than New York's Central Park. With gardens, museums, and tranquil lakes, it's the perfect spot for a leisurely stroll or a picnic. Don't miss the Japanese Tea Garden or the de Young Museum while you're there.
  • The Painted Ladies
    No trip to San Francisco is complete without seeing the Painted Ladies of Alamo Square. These Victorian and Edwardian houses, famed for their unique and colorful architecture, are a delightful backdrop for a relaxed afternoon in the park.
