8 days in San Francisco Itinerary

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

Change things up with these side-trips from San Francisco: Muir Woods National Monument (in Mill Valley) and Wine Tours & Tastings (in Napa). There's still lots to do: step off the mainland to explore Alcatraz Island, stroll through Golden Gate Park, browse the different shops at Ferry Building Marketplace, and take in the waterfront at Fisherman's Wharf.

If you are flying in from India, the closest major airports are San Francisco International Airport, Metropolitan Oakland International Airport and Norman Y. Mineta San Jose International Airport. In December, plan for daily highs up to 17°C, and evening lows to 8°C. Wrap up your sightseeing on the 5th (Sat) early enough to travel back home.
