We've got all the red hot sightseeing tips for your forthcoming trip to San Francisco. Grab your planner and get ready to start working on that itinerary.

With such a variety of iconic attractions in one place, you'll never have a boring moment in San Francisco! First things first, make sure you get some selfies in front of Golden Gate Bridge and Pier 39. When you've finished with those, you'll still have the University of California San Francisco and Palace of Fine Arts to check out!

Home to attractions like Twin Peaks and the Exploratorium, there will never be a boring moment in this exhilarating metropolis. After you've finished looking around those, squeeze in a bit more sightseeing at the California Academy of Sciences and Golden Gate Park.

Ready to escape the mainland for a bit? You'll find there's a range of cool sights to see just over the water on Alcatraz Island. Adventurers in this destination have a great range of options. Soap, shampoo and toothpaste are some of the supplies you need while traveling. But — if you forget to pack your toiletries, you'll probably find what you need at Ghirardelli Square. Still have some time to spare? Interested in the extraordinary marine world? Encounter colorful animals and learn about the wonders of our planet's vast blue waters at Aquarium of the Bay.

San Francisco Accommodations

Wind up your day of fun activities with a nice comfy bed and a fluffy pillow. Peruse the 229 properties in San Francisco on offer via Expedia and select one for your luxury getaway or cheap vacation.

If the thought of a generously stocked minibar and a swanky bathtub excites you, grab a drink and steep yourself in luxury at the Fairmont Heritage Place, Ghirardelli Square (900 N Point Street) or The St. Regis San Francisco (125 3rd St). If you're hoping to find somewhere that doesn't break the bank, the JW Marriott San Francisco Union Square (515 Mason Street) and the Wharf Inn (2601 Mason St) might suit your requirements better.

No stay in San Francisco is complete without stopping off at Pier 39. The Courtyard San Francisco Fisherman's Wharf and The Washington Square Inn are both fantastic options.

Nearest Airports to San Francisco

There's nothing as satisfying as finally arriving at Oakland International Airport (OAK) after a lengthy flight. Once you've secured your suitcases from the carousel and stretched out those stiff limbs, you'll be around 12 miles (19 km) from the heart of San Francisco.
