🇺🇸 San Francisco 2-Day Itinerary

Had limited time but crushed ALL the highlights! (With sunset at ~10PM, you could even trim this to 1 day.) 🌤️ Day 1 🖼️ SFMOMA Modern art wasn’t mind-blowing (Yayoi Kusama exhibit was meh), but the gift shop? NEXT LEVEL. Europe, take notes—this whole-floor boutique had me dizzy with choices! ⛓️ Alcatraz Island Booked the 1PM slot online—perfect timing after the museum! Boat ride + 2-3hr self-tour (audio guide included). Surprisingly scenic for a prison! 🦀 Fisherman’s Wharf 10-min walk from Alcatraz docks. Ate seafood at a waterfront spot + snapped pics. 🚋 Cable Car Iconic, but heads up: Multiple stops were closed, so we wasted time walking. 🌅 Day 2 🌿 Golden Gate Park My FAVORITE spot! The Japanese Tea Garden (mini Kyoto!) costs ~$12.50 for 3 people. Nearby lake gave major "Beijing’s Houhai" vibes 😆. ⛰️ Twin Peaks Short Uber from the park. City views + sunset = MAGIC. Non-negotiable! 🌉 Golden Gate Bridge (Hidden Photo Spot) Went post-sunset for moody shots. Honest take: Signal was trash, Ubers scarce, and the angle wasn’t worth the hassle. ✨ Bonus Recs 🏨 Hotel: Timbri Hotel SF (Curio by Hilton) — check my page for full review! 🍽️ Eats: Franciscan Crab Restaurant (window seats face Alcatraz!) House of Prime Rib (carnivore heaven 🥩) #SanFrancisco #TravelGuide #WeekendTrip #Alcatraz #GoldenGateBridge #SFMOMA #FoodieTravel #BayArea #TravelDiaries ✈️🌉
