| Summary: | While you'll find a handful of fine restaurants neighboring this Embarcadero park, you might prefer to opt for a bagged lunch. This grassy knoll is the perfect spot for a midday picnic. It's a well-kept facility featuring apartments and businesses, but it's the park that ties its community together with class. Stroll across a plush lawn, take a nap underneath a fir tree, or sit on the steps of the fountain centerpiece and smell the fresh flowers. |

| Summary: | If you want to know how a cable car works, Cable Car Museum is the place to learn. The world's first cable car rests here and with it a concise explanation of how those little cable cars go halfway to the stars. In an underground viewing area, you can look at the system's enormous cable wheels, which pull 11 miles (18 kilometers) of cable at 9.5 miles (15 kilometers) per hour. The cable cars move by clamping onto it. Examine closely the steel cables, gears, and pulleys that bring this city's most famous transportation to life. Don't miss the gift shop, where you can purchase your very own length of used cable! |

1 Dr. Carlton B. Goodlett Place San Francisco,CAUS |

| Phone: | (415)554-4000 |
| Price: | Free |
| Summary: | This building is the site of some of San Francisco's finest moments. In 1954 Marilyn Monroe and Joe DiMaggio were married here. In the early 21st century, over 100 same-sex couples were married by Mayor Gavin Newsom in the foyer. The Renaissance architecture rivals some of the country's most historical structures. Two Parisian architects designed and constructed the building from 1913-1915. The dome is based on the one crowning St. Peter's Basilica in Rome. Visitors can pick up brochures and take a self-guided tour between 8a-5p, Monday through Friday. A small store, open during normal business hours, sells traditional San Francisco souvenirs including T-shirts, posters and postcards. |

| Address: |
1 Telegraph Hill Boulevard San Francisco,CAUS |
|---|---|
| Phone: | (415)362-0808 |
| Price: | <$10 |
| Summary: | Conventional wisdom holds that this monument is shaped like a fire-hose nozzle. It is not, at least not by design. The tower is the gift of Lilly Hitchcock Coit, an eccentric heiress who managed to stand out in a city full of them. Lilly's particular passion was for the San Francisco Fire Department. So when the money she left in her will for The City's beautification was used to construct the art deco tower on Telegraph Hill in 1932, people made assumptions. The view from here is one of the most impressive in San Francisco, taking in the Bay, two bridges, and the Marin Headlands. Inside, the first floor is decorated with excellent murals, commissioned by the WPA in 1933, depicting San Francisco history. Admission is $4.50 for adults, $3.50 for seniors 65+, $2.00 for chldren 6-12, and free for children under 6. |

| Summary: | A penny for your thoughts? In addition to a melange of penny structures, this quirky, offbeat museum which had originally resided beneath the Cliff House at Pt. Lobos, has a variety of interesting gadgets and knick-knacks. A must-see is the toothpick amusement park, built by San Quentin inmates. Bring a handful of quarters so you can play some of the games, including the miniature antique pinball machines. Visiting the museum is free of charge. Cash only. |

| Address: |
Lombard Street at Presidio Boulevard San Francisco,CAUS |
|---|---|
| Phone: | (415)391-2000 |
| Price: | Free |
| Summary: | This picturesque stretch of Lombard Street has eight angles along a single block. They twist at very acute angles, making for very slow going if you are in a car, though, oddly enough, cars were the reason for designing the street this way back in 1922, the idea being that this design would make it easier for them to negotiate the steep 16-percent grade. The drive is usually bumper-to-bumper and in the summertime, there is almost always a line of cars waiting to take the drive down, so a stroll is a good option, especially when the hydrangeas along the sidewalk are in bloom. |
