San Francisco Travel Tip #1 - You do not need to have a car in order to enjoy everything that San Francisco has to offer. There are Bay Area Rapid Transit or BART trains that are designed to link the San Francisco airport with the Oakland airport, and the rest of the city as well. Most people that live in San Francisco do not even own a car, and it seems that getting around in this city is only becoming easier and easier since the tram, trolley and bus system is so well developed here in San Francisco.
San Francisco Travel Tip #2 - You can delve into the dark side of San Francisco by visiting Alcatraz, a desolate fortress that played home to a number of career criminals including Machine Gun Kelly, Al Capone and Robert Stroud as well.
San Francisco Travel Tip #3 - The summer time in the city of San Francisco is actually in September, not between June and August like most places. First time visitors to San Francisco can really be shocked by how cold it becomes in San Francisco during the winter time, and it can even be cold in the earliest summer months as well. If you want to experience the nicest weather then you should absolutely visit San Francisco during September. This is the period of time where you are going to want to hit the beaches and explore everything that the great outdoors has to offer.
San Francisco Travel Tip #4 - The weather can be really specific in San Francisco depending on where in town you are actually staying. In the westernmost part of the city, The Avenues are known for being foggy even when the entire remainder of the city is bright and sunny. Neighborhoods to the south and the east of Twin Peaks in San Francisco can be significantly warmer.
San Francisco Travel Tip #5 - One of the absolute best free activities that is available to you in San Francisco is visiting the Strybing Arboretum and the Botanical Gardens which are located in the Golden Gate Park. There are 55 acres of plants and flowers here, as well as pathways and benches that allow you to come in and enjoy the view.
