Golden Gate Bridge

The Golden Gate Bridge is a must - see in San Francisco. While you can drive to and park at the bridge, it is usually quite busy, so taking public transit (the MUNI) to the bridge is often easiest. It is also much colder than the rest of the city, so don't forget a jacket!

Palace of Fine Arts

Chinatown

San Francisco's Chinatown features beautiful architecture and fun shops and restaurants. We recommend parking in the North Beach Parking garage if you are driving to explore this section of the city.

Alcatraz Island

If you have a bit more time to explore, Alcatraz is a very popular tourist attraction in the Bay. There are a variety of tours with different lengths, prices and accommodations.

Carmel-by-the-Sea

Carmel by the Sea is such a beautiful beach and town filled with small boutiques and restaurants. It is a bit further out from the city, but if you are looking for a day at the beach, we highly recommend Carmel.

Napa Valley

Napa is notorious for its beautiful wine country. If you have a bit more time to explore, we highly recommend reserving a wine tour. Keep in mind most places require reservations. Close to Napa, and a great affordable option is Sonoma, which also features great wineries and stunning landscapes.

Oracle Park - Giant's Game

Looking for a sports event while you are in the area? Oracle Park will have several Giants games during the week of the wedding, all of which tend to be very affordable.

Salesforce Tower

Salesforce Park, located on top of Salesforce Tower, is a skyscraper park that features an amazing garden, and often has live events. If you find yourself in the city, we recommend you take the trip up to the park.
