Things to Do in San Francisco: Tours, Tickets & Experiences
San Francisco stacks world-famous sights into a small, walkable city: Alcatraz in the bay, the Golden Gate, redwoods an hour north and wine country beyond. Alcatraz tickets are the one booking that truly cannot wait.
This guide covers island and bay experiences, redwood and wine day trips, and the neighborhood tours that get you past the postcard version of the city.

See optionsGood to know before you book
- Alcatraz sells out weeks ahead in summer — book it before anything else.
- Dress in layers for anything on the water; the bay is cold in every month.
- Pair Muir Woods with Sausalito for an easy, low-rush day out of the city.
