Price: $11-$20
Summary: Fisherman's Wharf remains one of San Francisco's most popular tourist destinations. The Wharf consists of a long, coast side row of seafood restaurants, street vendors, souvenir stores, and beautiful ocean scenery. Fisherman's Wharf was originally a major fishing pier, and although the fishing industry is still alive today, the main focus of this specific coastal area is its historic tourist attractions. Parking is limited on the Wharf itself so parking downtown or taking a cable car to the Wharf is recommended. Ferry rides are offered for those who would like to visit Marin County. There are numerous attractions and great places to eat (see the other entries for Tourist Attractions and Fisherman Wharf restaurants). Wear comfortable shoes and dress in layers, even during summer months, the breeze off the ocean can be quite chilling. And take your camera. The photo opportunities are fabulous. And don't forget to visit the barking sea lions at Pier 39. The kids will love them, guaranteed!

Summary: Alcatraz, also known as The Rock, was the ideal site for a high security prison because of its icy waters and treacherous currents.

Take a tour of the jail, stroll through the exercise yard, and enjoy dazzling views of the San francisco bay area. Just be sure to bring your camera because there will be plenty of photo opportunities. It's also a great destination for families because it offers audio tours that provide historical information.

There is no entrance fee to visit Alcatraz Island, but there is a charge for the ferry service to and from the island. The ferry departs several times a day from Pier 33 (every half hours from 9:30 am). For more information on tours, visit their website at alcatrazcruises.com.

Address: 600 Guerrero St.
San Francisco,CAUS
Phone: (415)487-2600
Website: http://www.tartinebakery.com
Price: $11-$20
Summary: This little place lends an undeniable taste of the French countryside to a bustling Mission District intersection. Though sweet items (cakes, pies, buns, cookies and pastries) may be Tartine's "bread and butter," the decidedly savory heartiest-and-most-Béchamel-drenched open-faced croque monsieurs you will ever have the pleasure of devouring keeps neighborhood folk lining up for more. And speaking of bread, if you arrive early enough, you just might score yourself a loaf of the divine rustic country bread served (and constantly raved about) at sister bistro Bar Tartine. Can't shake that sweet tooth? Opt for one of their beloved Morning Buns (marbled with cinnamon and orange) or the decadent Bread Pudding. Whatever you order, enjoy it at the big communal table gazing through the floor-to-ceiling windows at the energy of the 18th Street corridor.

Summary: An engineering masterpiece, this bridge, built in 1937, towers with sturdy grace over the Golden Gate. Stretching over 4,200 feet, it is every bit as awesome an accomplishment in suspension-bridge engineering today as it was over half a century ago. Pedestrians and bike riders can access the east entrance for a jaunt on one of the world's most famous corridors. For photos, or to view the bridge in its entirety, try the spectacular lookout points located at the southeast and northeast ends. Don't miss the historic Roundhouse, a gift shop / visitors center, which boasts a fine selection of souvenirs, and an informative exhibit about the bridge's construction and history.
