Some may require a bit of navigation — addresses included below. 🚌 Getting Around: Download the MuniMobile app 📱. Get a 1-Day Pass — highly recommend including the Cable Car. Opt for the "1-Day Muni + Cable Car Pass" 💵 $14 (credit card required). 🌁 Golden Gate Bridge 📍 Golden Gate Brg The iconic symbol of SF — a must-visit 😘. Tons of photo angles! Perfect first stop. 🦭 Pier 39 📍 Pier 39 About 38 mins by bus from the Golden Gate Bridge Visitor Center. One of the farther stops (besides Twin Peaks). Lots of food options here 🍴 + you can see sea lions sunbathing (and sometimes fighting!). Great lunch spot — I’ll share a post later about an award-winning restaurant here. 🐟 Fisherman’s Wharf 📍 Fisherman’s Wharf Just a 7-min walk from Pier 39. Look for the big crab sign 🦀 — great for souvenirs and quirky photo ops. Lots of cute shops around. 🌺 Lombard Street 📍 Lombard St & Hyde St Google “Lombard Street” — it’s a steep walk up from Fisherman’s Wharf, but you can also take the Cable Car partway. Known as the “crookedest street in the world” with 8 sharp turns — full of flowers and extremely photogenic! 🎥 Inception Movie Spot 📍 California St & Powell St Filming location for that mind-bending scene from Inception! Take the Cable Car from Lombard St — about 10 stops. Riding the cable car here feels like a roller coaster 🎢 Pro tip: Shoot in the middle of the road (safely!), and try to capture a cable car in the frame. Use 16:9 mode for a cinematic look. 🇨🇳 Chinatown 📍 Chinatown, San Francisco The largest Chinatown in the US! Just two Cable Car stops from the Inception spot. Perfect for a Chinese meal 🥢 — feels like stepping into 90s Hong Kong or mainland China. 🌅 Twin Peaks 📍 501 Twin Peaks Blvd The best 360° panoramic view of the city! A bit far — about 40+ mins by public transit — but totally worth it for epic sunset views 🌇 #SanFrancisco #OneDayInSF #SFTravelGuide #MustSeeSF #USATravel
