Have a weekend to spend in the city by the Bay? Here are a few great ideas. Some standard tourist stuff (they’re crowded for a reason) and other local fare. Such a good city to eat and walk. Bring a coat, especially in summer, or you’re gonna end up with one of those tourist SF fleeces!

I'm an avid hiker and I've spent 17 years in the Bay Area. Here are some of my favorite local hikes. Most with decent elevation gain (and a spot to launch a paraglider...one of my favorite things to do!).

You've seen Pier 39, Union Square, and Fisherman's Wharf. What's next? Do as the locals do and spend the day in the neighbourhood, the true essence of the city. 

As a local, let me take you to some of my favourite spots. Spend a day discovering the charm, architecture, and views. Don't worry, I've incorporated food and drinks too! :) Expect to walk for a couple of hours with breaks in between.
