San Francisco
Even though the Golden Gate Bridge and cable cars are well-known in this Californian city, we also recommend a visit to Golden Gate Park. Its 1000 acres can easily be explored in a day if you’re on a weekend getaway.
The park even provides a free shuttle service, and you can also rent a segway and explore on your own or with tours. The park has everything, including its own aquarium.
You can even choose to take a ride on a carousel, visit the conservatory, marvel at the California Academy of Sciences wonders, and see the De Young Museum of Art. But if you’re simply looking to unwind, we recommend a picnic by one of the lakes.
During your stay in San Francisco, you can also take a tour of the Alcatraz Prison. This historic federal prison on Alcatraz Island housed the most brutal convicts in the country. It was closed down in the 1970s and is now a national monument open to the public.
