A lot of visitors search for Alcatraz tours or Fisherman’s Wharf attractions, but there are a few unique local experiences that are becoming really popular. Riding down Lombard Street on a small open air tour vehicle is something many visitors now look for because it lets you experience the famous crooked street in a memorable way. Another underrated experience is climbing up to Coit Tower for panoramic views of the San Francisco skyline and the Bay Bridge. If you want something very local, head to North Beach for live music, Italian cafes, and historic bars where the Beat Generation writers like Jack Kerouac used to hang out. The Ferry Building Marketplace is also one of the best places in San Francisco to try artisan food, local coffee, and California products.
