San Francisco’s Finest: My Top 5 Travel Picks

I love San Francisco! I’ve visited this unique city twice and I can’t wait to go back a third time! Here are some of my favorite things to do in the city: 1️⃣ The Painted Ladies - This icon row of colorful houses sits against the stunning backdrop of the city. After snapping the ladies, take a walk through the surrounding neighborhood as the architecture is beautiful! 2️⃣San Francisco Tram - The tram network in the city is extensive and there are many photo opportunities throughout the city to snap the tram in action! 3️⃣The Golden Gate Bridge - Whether you walk or cycle, crossing The Golden Gate Bridge is a must! You’ll find excellent viewpoints on both sides! 4️⃣Little Italy - A beautiful area that really comes to life at dusk. There are a plethora of Italian restaurants and cafes for you to feast in! If you’re after a good sandwich check out “Molinari Delicatessen” 5️⃣Chinatown - One of the best Chinatowns I have been to! There’s lots of Chinese culture to explore and hills cut through the area so you can get some great pictures of the city with the Bay Bridge in the distance! This is just a slice of what San Francisco has to offer and I could truly spend weeks in this city and not feel bored! #travel #travelinspiration #america #sanfrancisco #trip #citywalk #city #architecture #instatravel #wanderlust #freehotelstay

Culinary Delights at John's Grill: A San Francisco Must

Arrived at San Francisco, and all I do is meet friends here and there! The second afternoon snack and the third dinner are considered here as a means of maintaining a conversation, and not a serious vice, as sometimes in other countries. I gathered my friends and showed them an amazing place, after which all their diets went downhill - @johnsgrillsf. Here are the most delicious steaks on the planet since 1908. There is nothing more for me to add. If, before coming here, I doubted whether it was possible to carry Jack Leland salad, with loads of crab, lamb chops and surf and turf which is a New York steak with a lobster tail and fried jumbo prawns in myself... now I have no doubt - you can! 😂 John’s grill even has its’ private label Cabernet Sauvignon. If you're in town, be sure to check it out! It is no coincidence that Sting, Khbabib Nurmagomedov, Steve Wozniak Apple Co-Founder, American politicians and many others like to dine in this restaurant. By the way, they are the Home of the Maltese falcon, which was a famous novel written in 1930 by Dashiell Hammett. All in all, I highly recommend this place to visit. Loved it so much and yes, it’s super-photogenic! ;) #JohnsGrillSF #SanFrancisco

The infamous Alcatraz, worth the journey!

Alcatraz Prison, Alcatraz Island - San Francisco, California. I have always wanted to go to Alcatraz so jumped at the chance during a 48 hour stop over in San Francisco. The prison has to be one of the most impressive museums I’ve been to in my life, the layout takes you through so much of the complex and is absolutely fascinating. The prison is infamous as it’s use a penitentiary between the 1930’s to the 1930’s but the museum also covers the lesser known period when it was occupied by native Americans during their national protest and fight for rights and recognition. There is so much left from both of these eras so you really get a sense of what it was like through its history. The boat ride back and forth from the pier also gives you stunning views of San Francisco and it’s iconic hills and vistas. Worth a trip for any history buffs and anyone that wants to better understand the history of this wonderful city. #sanfrancisco #alcatraz #california #urbanexplorer #america #history

Overnight Layover at SFO

We had a 12-hour overnight layover in San Francisco, and I have to say, for American airports, spending the night at SFO was not too bad. There were a few exhibits around to look at, and there were nap chairs to take a rest in. Although, the most popular places to sleep were the dining booths in the food courts. Overall, it wasn’t too bad, and staying in the international terminal saved us quite a bit of money versus staying at an airport hotel. #airport #layover #sanfrancisco

Golden Gate Bridge San Fransisco

#MyTripVlog #2023TravelWish Have you ever watched Streets of San Fransiisco? It was an old drama and this scene was shown a lot in that drama. Even though it was a #foggyweather the scene was #mesmerizing. It was very early morning so there were not many people and I loved the view a lot. It was a short but #amazing experience for enjoying #sanfrancisco #california #awesomepic

Steepest winding trek in San Francisco

Lombard is the longest and steepest winding street that is made up of eight hairpin turns, making it an interesting trek from the bottom to the top. It is also known as the world’s most crooked street given its design and attracts many visitors to try hiking up its bends. Quite an eye-opener! My overall rating of the experience: 4 out of 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #gohiking #tripmoments #hiking #trekking #attraction #mustvisit #sanfrancisco #california #unitedstatesofamerica

Netherlands in Cali?

For the bloggers, locals, or tourists who want that Europe feel, let me introduce you to the Dutch Windmills. Whether you want to eat lunch with a view or have a photoshoot, I highly recommend checking this place out. It's situated at the end of Golden Gate Park towards Ocean Beach. There's plenty of parking there or at the beach. You probably won't be alone, so be aware of that if you're vlogging. After your shoot there, head to Ocean Beach for another great shoot. #tripblazers #travel #california #sanfrancisco #photography #fallingforfall

Pier 39 is in San Francisco Fisherman's Wharf

#mytripvlog Pier 39 in San Francisco with amazing waterfront views that make it famous for shopping & dining, a colony of sea lions, and chowder bread bowls; there is no shortage of things to do and see. #sanfrancisco #pier39 #beautifuldestinations

Fisherman's Wharf is a must-visit in SFO

#mytripvlog A walk-through of Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco can feel unique. Regardless of whether it's a hot, sunny day or one filled with San Francisco's iconic fog. It also gets pretty crowded any day of the week or every season, so be prepared and comfortable with people jams. #sanfrancisco #fishermanswharf

Slice of France in San Francisco 

This is by far the prettiest museum in Northern California. The best part is if you want a photo shoot like I did above, the outside is completely free and empty on weekdays. Whether you want the Louvre feel or pillars in your headshots, this place has got you covered. Apparently, it's a replica of Palais de la Légion d'Honneur. So, if you're missing France, just bring your pastries and have a seat in the courtyard. Where: 100 34th Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121 Inside Lincoln Golf Course it’s accessible by public transport too. #travel #tripblazers #sanfrancisco #california #holiday #ootd #fashion #style #model

You have not seen all of San Francisco!

Getting There - Take a plane going to Oakland instead of SFO. Though SFO is connected to the BART, you'll find cheaper flights going to Oakland as well as cheaper places to stay, but be very careful! Attractions - Powell Street, Union Square Plaza, Pier 39, Fisherman's Warf, Palace of Fine Arts, Crissy Field, Golden Gate Park, Half-moon Bay (If you rented a Car), Ghirardelli Square, Pacifica Beach, 24hr Macy's store, The Castro, San Mateo Bridge, Lombard Street, Chinatown (There are tons of chinatown in the US, but this is probably the cleanest Chinatown I have been. lmao), Take the Muni tram, Golden Gate Vista Point and many more. Hotels - I recommend Union Square Plaza Hotel since this is nearby the city center to help you get around San Francisco. Food & Restaurants - Pinecrest (The line on this breakfast diner is crazy, but it is worth it!), Cafe Mason (A good alternative for Pinecrest), Bottle Club Pub (it is an amazing find, not a hole on the wall kind of pub. it looks pretty expensive, but it's actually very affordable and staff were all nice for an all-white staff pub. sorry not being a racist here). Shopping - Union Square Plaza has the 24hr Macy's and around it, you can find pretty much alot of luxury brands around the area.#sanfrancisco #westcoast #travelcalifornia

The World Famous Lombard Street In SFO

SFO - Sanfrancisco is known for many world famous attractions located all around town. Lombard Street is one of the MustVisit in Sanfrancisco where many tourists will be seen taking photos right by the street. Lombard Street is located at US 101 between Richardson Ave and Broderick Street where you will see a very steep section of the road and its popular due to its very sharp turns and is also called the most crooked Street in the world. Anyone can drive down this crooked street, there is even a tour where you will be allowed to rent this cute mini car to drive down this street. Of course there is a fee to pay when entering this street and do be aware that while driving down this crooked road traffic is really slow due to its sharp curves and 1 way street. #bucketlistreboot #sanfrancisco #worldfamous #america #lombardstreet #attraction #touristsattraction #mustvisit #urbanexplorer #MyTripVlog

A Snippet Video Of Entering Into Alcatraz

Alcatraz Island is a popular tourist attraction when coming to the United States. You will even see locals from all around America come visiting this place. This place is only successive via ferry, and for people with sea sickness, fret not as the water is rather calm and the ferry is a much bigger ferry it will tend to rock lesser. This is a must visit if you are visiting San Francisco and your trip will never be complete without it. To expedite your trip and a smoother flow, I do recommend to get your cruise ticket online as there might be some discounts available, it might also be available on trip.com with you claiming of points if it isn't sold out. For us, we had to endure the long queues as we have forgotten to buy the ferry tickets for the island, so don't forget! #bucketlistreboot #alcatraz #prison #history #iconic #historic #alcatrazprison #sanfrancisco #unitedstates #america #mytripvlog

In The Alcatraz Island, The Prison Walks

The Alcatraz Island is a popular tourists attraction as it was once an island of incarceration where this was a prison for the most dangerous criminal and it was heavily guarded by the military making this look like a Fort and almost impossible to break out of the island due to the prison being surrounded by waters. Now the prison has closed since the 1963 due to the very heavy cost of running this operation, it has become a tourist attraction where you will be able to go into the walls of the Fort to have a look at how the prisoners here once lived. Prisoners are separated with cell doors and you will learn the type of prisoners being sent here. You will also be able to walk the ground of the Alcatraz Island into the different building, the dinning Hall and there is now also a souvenir shop for you if you want to bring back some memories of this island. You will be able to learn the history behind the island and also the prisoners sufferings in here as well, to understand their way of life and their daily routine here. #bucketlistreboot #history #island #alcatrazisland #attraction #tourists #popular #sanfrancisco #mustvisit #historic #tour

Roadtripping From Sanfranisco - Seattle

One of my most unforgettable trip is doing a solo road trip from San Francisco up towards Seattle. It is one of the longest drive I ever did, with a total of almost 13hours that is if u drive straight. Well it took me 2 days, a 8 hour drive on the first day and another 6 hours the next. Solo driving on a trip like this can be really tiring but it can be enjoyable too if you plan it right! From San Francisco I did a stop over in a small town called crescent city which I had a short night stay overlooking the sea to relax myself for the next day. And the scenery can also be quite beautiful if you take the time to stop and look around. And if you like the cold weather plan your trip closer to winter but not in Feb - March as it can be really snowy and icy which some roads might possibly be block too! This is one fun and adventurous solo road trip I've ever done! #solotravel #roadrtrip #driving #seattle #sanfrancisco #holiday #america #naturalwonders #YOLO #passionpassport

It is a free attraction that features a beautiful architecture with domes and columns. It's set in a colorful park with lots of trees to sit back, relax, and enjoy the beauty of the city.

The Golden Gate Bridge.

The Golden Gate Bridge is a popular landmark which you should visit if you are in San Francisco. The recommended sightseen time is between one to two hours. I strongly recommend to visit this place during the day and during the night time, the lights makes the whole place to look stunning. Many of the spots to see this place are super touristic and crowded so you might want to do a little hike on the marshal beach to avoid the tourist buses full of people. Make sure you bring comfortable shows and some water specially if you are walking around in summer time as you won't find a shadow. #createwithtrip #usa #sanfrancisco #goldengate

You will get to see, smell (haha) and hear the sea lions when you reach Pier 38. They are really loud and everyone is trying to get a shot of them from the ground to climbing up the viewing platforms. It is a interesting experience to take home and there are also a lot of interesting shops to buy your souvenirs. I even saw a dog pet shop called Bow Wow which sell all dogs related merchandise. #unforgettableexperiences #scenicspotguide #travelinspiration #urbanexplorer #sanfrancisco
