3 days in San Francisco: Day 1

Recently spent 3 days in SF and have been here many times growing up, so decided to share what I personally think are the “must visits” as a tourist in the Bay to make your trip worth it! 1. Ferry Building ⛴️ Let’s start here! There are usually flea/farmers markets on the outside! Great for getting gifts or the usual San Francisco t-shirts. There used to be wayyyy more shops inside :( but theres like a store selling local art/creations, good if you love to support the local art scene! There’s also blue bottle coffee within the building for all you coffee lovers to sip on that hot latte and enjoy the breeze while watching the ferry boats ☕️🫶🏼 2. Pier 39 / Fisherman’s Warf 🦭 After visiting the ferry building and taking photos of it’s beautiful scenery of the sea outside, you can walk down the piers from ferry boat building or take the Muni bus (8-12min ride) to Pier 39 / Fisherman’s Warf! Here you can see the sea lions sun bathing & Alcatraz prison (the inspiration for Azkaban in HP) 🧙🏼 You can then walk down even more to just enjoy the scenery and breeze, go to the mini shops and carousel, or have a bowl of clam chowder! My favourite is Boudin’s clam chowder in sourdough bread bowl 🫶🏼 3. SF Cable Car Ride 🚠 A few more piers down til the end (about Pier 45) you can walk to the cable car terminal and ride it along SF! It stops at places like Chinatown or other touristy spots as well! You can also drop at the very last stop for some shopping at Union Square.. If the shops are even still open (they close at like 6) 🤭 That’s all for a chill day in the Bay, stay tuned for 2 and 3! #sanfranisco #pier39 #whattodo
