The best way to enjoy the City is with public transit. This is a dense, compact city which makes it perfect for taking transit. It also makes it a nightmare to find parking. So why not take advantage of the cheap MUNI system (subway, buses, cable cars, historic street cars), or take a taxi? Rental cars and hotel parking can push the cost of a car above $50 a day, compared to $10 a day with transit and taxis. Besides, getting to know a San Francisco taxi cab driver or someone on the subway is all part of the ride! Transit and taxis are fun.

San Francisco has one of the widest ranges of things to do of any destination in the world. Where else can you brunch atop a skyscraper, take a hike in a primeval forest, visit a Native American site, splash around in the ocean, watch the migrating birds, catch the sunset from a National Park, and see a Broadway show– all in one day!
