San Francisco is a great city with so many amazing things to see and do. The restaurants are superb and there is great food for every budget. Please feel free to contact us directly if you have something specific you would like to find out about. Here are some of our suggested activities in the City By The Bay:

DE YOUNG MUSEUM, GOLDEN GATE PARK
The Art of Bulgari: La Dolce Vita & Beyond, 1950–1990
Russ and Daniel’s wedding rings are from the Bulgari, B.zero1 collection (which we first saw in Milan) and now you can find out more about this timeless jewelry maker. This decade-by-decade exhibit presents innovations in jewelry design and150 show stopping pieces from this era, along with sketches, video and several striking pieces from the Elizabeth Taylor collection and the Bulgari archives.

EXPLORE GOLDEN GATE PARK
Roughly three miles in length and half a mile wide, Golden Gate Park is one of the largest man-made parks in the world. Join the locals by skating, jogging, walking or biking around it and you'll see a multitude of fantastic sights: the white-domed Conservatory of Flowers, the Japanese Tea Garden, the De Young Museum, the California Academy of Sciences and even a herd of buffalo.

THE PAINTED LADIES • PRETTY AS A PICTURE
We live in the Historic Alamo Square District, located almost in the center of San Francisco. Mayor James Van Ness set aside 12.7 acres in 1856, naming it Alamo Square. A row of Victorian houses facing the park on Steiner Street, known as the "Painted Ladies", are often shown in the foreground of panoramic pictures of the city's downtown area. The opening sequence of the sitcom Full House (1987-1995) features a romp in Alamo Square Park with the famous row of Victorians in the background. There are many architecturally significant mansions on the perimeter of the park, including the Archbishop's Mansion, and the residences of the Russian and German Imperial consuls in the early 1900s.

THE FERRY BUILDING and NIGHT VIEW of the BAY BRIDGE LIGHTS
The Ferry Building is a magnificent structure on the Embarcadero, at the foot of Market Street, but the real reason to come here is the food, the views and the ferry to Sausalito. There's a fabulous farmers market on Saturday until 2 p.m. Also, the view of the Bay Bridge comes alive at sunset with the Bay Lights. Its a glittering light sculpture on the Bay Bridge which transforming the span into a constantly-changing, nearly-hypnotic light show. It could easily be the best show in town.

ALCATRAZ ISLAND TOUR
Pay your respects to one of the world's most infamous prisons and greatest sites in San Francisco. Alcatraz remains a popular attraction (they even have a night tour if you have the nerve). The audio tour, which features interviews with former inmates and guards, is powerful, chilling and evocative. Please note, you must make advance reservations. The tours sell out quickly.

THE HISTORIC STREET CAR from FISHERMAN'S WHARF to THE CASTRO
Instead of the cable car, why don’t you hop on a Historic Street Car on the Embarcadero (it’s the F line for $2) and you can ride it all the way from Fisherman’s Wharf to the Castro. Take in the sights and sounds of the Gay Mecca. Seventeen trolley cars are in service, painted in the colors of the originals from the 1920s and '30s. 

BEACH BLANKET BABYLON
Be teased, amused and shocked by Beach Blanket Babylon, the longest running musical revue in SF and the famous North Beach Italian district. It presents a blend of songs, puns and outrageous headgear with such irresistible conviction that it has become an institution.

HAYES VALLEY SHOPPING and LUNCH
One of the best places in San Francisco to spend a day outside is Hayes Valley. This dynamic neighborhood has managed to hold onto its cultural diversity and has become one of the more interesting retail areas in the city. Good restaurants, cutting edge fashions and stores of all kinds carry merchandise that you are not likely to find anywhere else.
