>what are you interested in/want to do
Relax, discover a new city, bit of photography (land/cityscape). I like walking.';

Red woods or Yosemite. Also giants game. Don't listen to anons saying it just sucks, there's a lot of cool areas';
'>>2654295
Wasn't intending to rent a car. Red woods should still be doable, any way to get there from downtown?';
'I mean this with 100% sincerity: if your main hobbies aren’t autistic tech stuff or literally having gay sex go anywhere else in California and you will have a better time than going to San Francisco. It’s dirty, and boring and dangerous and fucking expensive too. Please just go anywhere else for the love of god.';

Haight-Ashbury is pretty comfy. Also visit Japantown if you're into that stuff. Castro district if fun.
San Francisco is a pretty comfy city if you stay away from the Tenderloin.';
'Golden Gate Park, pay money to go into the Japanese Tea Garden (and Botanical Garden).';

i mean it is true you need to get 200 miles outside SF and the bay area in general to see anything decent that doesn't appeal to only troons';

>Also visit Japantown if you're into that stuff
for sure
>stay away from the Tenderloin
What qualifies as part of the tenderloin? I mean I can see the neighbourhood on google maps but the strict borders rarely represent reality in my experience
Also, any tips on where to stay?';

Walk the whole dockside area, Fisherman's Wharf etc. Check out the US naval museum ships. There's a WWII submarine that's really cool. Get some expensive sushi. Go check out 'The Interval' - really nice chill bar that I usually do a little working from when I'm in town. Can get an interesting crowd and there's some great food nearby. Alcatraz is like a half day thing and is pretty cool.
Go check out Stanford or Berkeley campus if you have time. I eapeolike Berkeley.';

>What qualifies as part of the tenderloin?
The triangle within Van Ness, California, and Market streets are going to be the generally shittiest area of the city. So basically tenderloin plus Union Square and Financial District. There are some good restaurants there but that's the only thing worth venturing into the area for.
>any tips on where to stay?
Depends on your budget. Nob Hill has a lot of nice, expensive hotels and is close to a lot of the more popular neighborhoods in the City. Marina might have some cheaper hotels.';

i live the city. is gorgeous.
FIRST get a day pass for the metro. it works amazingly and is so much better than driving. unless you're going outside of sf proper or are going to the Golden gate bridge on the north side.
this is pretty much all tourist stuff but its cool anyways.

'I was in SF for business not too long ago and had a bit of free time (and a comped rental car). I took a drive over to Battery Ridge, its an old military gun battery with great views of the bridge and skyline, and of course you have to drive over the bridge to get there, which is its own experience. Its a short detour with really incredible views. From there you can go to Muir Woods if you want to see nature. I think SF downtown is worth visiting if youre like me and love architecture and like just walking around, otherwise I cant think of anything downtown worth seeing other than Chinatown, which is pretty cool. When I was in Chinatown I saw numerous Chinese squatting and eating, smoking cigarettes, etc, it felt quite authentic. I walked from downtown to Haight-Ashbury because I like the Victorians but thats just me.
Honestly im not a huge fan of the city overall. When I did that long walk it was maybe 15 years ago and I distinctly remember some crazy homeless in Golden Gate Park.';

Nappa Valley is nice, but the city is honestly super hilly and kind of boring. Also hella chinks and jeets and from what I understood no attractive women or real night life.';

I actually forgot about this, the seals are cool thanks for reminding me.';
