18 days in San Francisco Itinerary

San Francisco is a top holiday destination featuring scenic beauty and great ethnic and cultural diversity.

Get out of town with these interesting San Francisco side-trips: Armstrong Redwood State Reserve (in Guerneville), Sonoma (Sonoma Coast State Beach, Mission San Francisco Solano, &more) and Sonoma Coast Vineyards (in Bodega Bay). Dedicate the 11th (Sat) to wine at some of the top wineries in the area. There's still lots to do: take in the views from Golden Gate Bridge, step off the mainland to explore Alcatraz Island, take a peaceful walk through Muir Woods National Monument, and stop by SoMa.
