Drinks & Nightlife

The only semi-respectable place for tacos in the Sunset. More Americanized but decent and more of a lively bar. However, if you’re dying to try some legit taquerias head to the Mission district.

Parks & Nature

Stretches all along the coast line. Great for a good jog. Laying out in the sun is not typical as it’s usually a little chilly. But.. about 20-40 days a year it’s really warm and gets packed. At the same time you can also visit Sutro Baths, Lands End, the Cliff House, Golden Gate Park, and the Zoo.

Really great place to hike or jog. Amazing views of Golden Gate Bridge. The Legion of Honor museum is also close by. It’s not too hard so even an experienced hiker will really enjoy it. And right next to Sutro Baths.

Sightseeing

In 1906 Sutro Baths was built looking over the ocean. It was a private saltwater swimming pool. It burnt down in 1966 and was never rebuilt. It lays in ruins but is a fun place to explore and take pictures. It’s a nice hike from your Airbnb unit. You can also check out Lands End park while you're there.

Lots to do in here. Great for a jog, walk, picnic, museums, gardens, the bison, the Windmills, you name it. Thursday nights at the Academy of Sciences they keep it open late and have special events with multiple bars set up through the museum. Check out their website if they have a special exhibit you’re interested in. They have a Planetarium as well with excellent shows.

I have not been here in a long time. But a good family spot. From what I remember it was a pretty consciousness zoo.. But if you’ve been to the Zoo in the Bronx in New York City it’s probably not nearly as impressive.

The Grand View park / steps on Moraga is a local favorite that is not in the tourist books. The steps up to the top are tiled and beautiful. Great photo ops and a great view of the city.
