San Francisco travel tips

San Francisco is an amazing city. We know we're biased, but hear us out! Not only does San Francisco have countless great things to do right here in the city - walk across the Golden Gate Bridge, take a hike through Land's End, relax in Dolores Park, see a view of the whole city at Twin Peaks at sunset - but we're also located two hours or less from many other phenomenal places. You can drive an hour and a half to go relax on the beach in Santa Cruz, hop on BART to catch a show in Oakland, or go take a hike amongst the tallest trees in the world at Muir Woods.

If you’re wondering what to wear in San Francisco, you might not want to listen to The Beach Boys.

If you do, you might get the impression the sun is constantly shining on the state of California. That’s pretty true for the most part but, unfortunately, it’s not always so in San Francisco.

Here you can expect pretty cool temperatures all-year-round, which means you can leave those Havaianas in the hostel in favor of something a bit more practical.
