Reply To: What’s the best way to see the city in one day if I’m short on time?

Start early and stick to the highlights. A half-day city tour in the morning is the most efficient way to cover ground—Golden Gate Bridge, Lombard Street, Painted Ladies, Twin Peaks, etc. In the afternoon, walk around a neighborhood like North Beach or the Ferry Building, and maybe catch the sunset from Crissy Field or Alamo Square.

If you’re skipping a tour, use rideshare or Muni to get around quickly. Don’t try to see everything just hit the icons and soak in the vibe. SF’s small, but traffic and hills slow things down.
