Weather
Many people think California vacation has sunny skies and warm weather 365 days a year, but it's not true in San Francisco. It's often foggy, temperatures over 80F are considered a heat wave, and the water is too cold for all but the heartiest souls at the beach. It rains in the winter, but seldom the rest of the year. April and October are two of the nicest months to vacation here. To have a comfortable vacation, check the climate for the time you plan to visit. You will probably need to pack warmer vacation clothing than you might think.
Geography:
Looking at a few San Francisco maps and learning how the city is laid out will help you plan your vacation and know how to get from one attraction to another. You can save yourself embarrassment, too - I once hailed a taxi in Union Square and asked to go to the Chinatown gate, which is only a few blocks away!
Things to Do in Advance for a San Francisco Vacation
Unless you want to visit an especially popular restaurant or see a specific play, this is all you'll need to do before you come to San Francisco:
- Reserve a hotel. If you usually vacation without advance hotel reservations, don't try it here. San Francisco is is a popular vacation destination, and many conventions are held here. Saturday nights are the busiest hotel night in the city.
- Don't rent a car unless you're planning on long side trips. Parking and driving in the city can be maddening. Take public transportation and use the money you save to get a nicer hotel room.
San Francisco is undoubtedly the best place in the world for providing you accommodation during your journey. At the time of my last visit to San Francisco, the only concern i was having is regarding a place to stay. But as soon as I arrived there, there was no such issue. Its quite easy and comfortable to get a great place which gives you the feel of being at home.
