Perfect for families who love nature, food & dining, road trip.
Fog-draped hills, a bridge painted international orange, and a former prison island anchor a city where cable cars substitute for roller coasters and the real theme park is the region spreading out beyond it.
What makes this a standout family trip.
Young adults, kids and teenagers will love San Franciscoβs mix of family attractions, dining and days out.
San Francisco's cable cars are the world's last manually operated ones, and Alcatraz was once an 'inescapable' island prison.
Very hilly (tiring with strollers); cool fog even in summer β layers; keep belongings close in busy areas.
Spring and autumn are warmest and clearest; summer is famously foggy and cool.
Chinese New Year Parade (Feb); Fleet Week (Oct); year-round Alcatraz & cable cars.
