Ghirardelli Square - Lot #347
@solofemaletravel

PIER 39
@solofemaletravel
Pier 39 is a shopping center that is built right onto a pier. You’ll find everything from shopping & restaurants to video arcade to street performers & sea lions (not together, that is). Essentially, you can’t really be bored while at Pier 39.

Museum of Ice Cream
@solofemaletravel
The Museum of Ice Cream is probably the cutest museum to ever exist. It showcases plenty of ice cream-themed displays that are clearly Instagram-worthy. Just make sure you buy your tickets online ahead of time because you cannot do so at the door. Whether you want to cannonball into a pool of sprinkles or ride a giant animal cracker, this museum is for you.

Lombard Street
@solofemaletravel
Lombard Street is most famous for its eight hairpin turns that wind up the hill for a block or so. Located between The Presidio and The Embarcadero, this is definitely a sight that you can’t see just anywhere.

Bay Bridge
@solofemaletravel
The Bay Bridge connects San Francisco and Oakland and is visited by about 260,000 vehicles a day. Constructed between 1933 and 1936, this bridge is a whopping 23,556 feet long. It’s beautiful during the day, but at night when it’s all lit up, it’s absolutely breathtaking.

Golden Gate Bridge
@solofemaletravel
Did that picture just trigger a major Full House flashback? Because same. The Golden Gate Bridge is a one-mile-wide suspension bridge connecting San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean. This is one of the Wonders of the Modern World and what most think of when they hear the sweet words “San Francisco.”
