wonderful destinations within easy reach of downtown. From the
eclectic neighborhoods to state and national parks and scenic
regions that sit atop many travelers' bucket lists, this part of
the state is brimming with adventure. Today, you can explore in the
way that best suits your travel preferences.

and Pacific Heights and admiring landmarks, including Fisherman's
Wharf, the Painted Ladies, the Presidio, the Golden Gate Bridge,
and more. Enjoy lunch in the charming town of Sausalito and an
in-depth look at the soaring redwoods of Muir Woods National
Monument.
Alternatively, you could spend the day at leisure, soaking in the
city's unique ambiance at your own pace. Follow in the footsteps of
the counterculture while meandering down Haight and Ashbury Streets
or look at the soaring skyscrapers that line Market Street. Venture
to one of the piers, walk along the sandy beaches, or seek out
authentic San Francisco sourdough. Museums, such as the San
Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and lush gardens make the city a
joy to discover.
Lastly, you may wish to join a full-day tour of wine county on a
guided excursion that takes you across the Golden Gate Bridge and
