7 things to do in spring in San Francisco

San Francisco’s most iconic landmark and one of the world’s most recognisable bridges is the Golden Gate Bridge. You haven’t properly experienced San Francisco unless you’ve walked across this massive monument. You can walk across it for free during daylight hours, and bikers can ride across it at any time of day or night.

Unless they’re really enthused about the activity, many people go halfway across the bridge, snap a few shots, and then return to the city. It’s also one of San Francisco’s numerous free things to do that won’t cost you a dime!

The city’s most iconic landmark, fortunately for you, is always available to pedestrians. With spectacular views of the city, as well as Alcatraz and Angel Island, this one-of-a-kind experience should be at the top of your list.

When the fragrance of flowers and baseball fills the air, Bay Area residents know spring has arrived.  Forget about paying top dollar to see the San Francisco Giants, who are hotter than ever this season.

Instead, hop in a kayak and join the armada of enthusiastic fans that flock to McCovey Cove to watch the game from the sea. A cooler full of beer, food, sunscreen, and a radio to listen to the game are all must-haves.

Bring a net to increase your chances of catching a “Splash Hit” home run, as well as a temporary anchor (a rope attached to a cinder block works well) so you don’t have to paddle all the time.

Wine Country is a California region in the northern Bay Area that is known around the world as a premier wine-growing region. Wineries, cuisine, Michelin-starred restaurants, boutique hotels, luxury resorts, historic architecture, and culture are all well-known in the region.

Since the first vines were planted in 1812 by Spanish missionaries from Mission San Francisco Solano, the region has been devoted to viticulture and winemaking. In the North San Francisco Bay Area, there are over 1700 wineries.

Now that the weather has finally warmed up enough to spend some time outside, it’s time to visit one of Northern California’s most gorgeous areas: wine county!

Take a guided tour to avoid the trouble of driving and instead concentrate on the fun of sampling top-notch wine. This incredible event will be with you forever, especially now that the sun is shining and the fields are flowering.

The best things in life aren’t always free. The Yerba Buena Gardens Festival, which takes place in May, is no exception. Free events include concerts, dancing performances, plays, and children’s activities. Contemporary orchestras, Afro jazz concerts, and Brazilian dancers are all examples of this.

While you’re here, visit the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts to see a modern art exhibit or join one of the center’s films, workshops, or parties.

Pier 39 is a prominent tourist attraction and shopping mall located on a pier in San Francisco, California. Shops, restaurants, a video arcade, street performances, the Aquarium of the Bay, simulated 3D rides, and views of California sea lions hauled out on Pier 39’s marina docks may all be found at Pier 39. Although it is not directly visible from the street and is located near the end of the pier, a two-story carousel is one of the pier’s more prominent features. The abundance of marine mammals and family-friendly activities make this a popular tourist destination for families with children.

Pier 39 is a lively mix of sights and noises that is well worth a visit. There are many fascinating things to see and do here, but one of the most popular attractions is the Sea Lions that frequent the pier. While some of the on-site attractions charge a fee, visiting PIER 39 is completely free. There will be performers, movie screenings, and, of course, the lovely sea lions.

Angel Island, Alcatraz Island, the Golden Gate Bridge, and the Bay Bridge can all be seen from the pier. The bay cruises of the Blue & Gold Fleet depart from Pier 39.

The fact that the main Cinco de Mayo event is hosted in the primarily Hispanic Mission District should come as no surprise. Ballet Folklorico, mariachi bands, Aztec dancers, and Lucha Libre, the always entertaining wrestlers, are among the various acts.

This free event takes place every year in Dolores Park, which is located between 18th and 20th streets on Dolores Street.

The park itself provides a fantastic perspective of the Mission District, downtown, the San Francisco Bay, and the East Bay Hills.

Lombard Street, which runs between Russian Hill, North Beach, and Fisherman’s Wharf, is unquestionably San Francisco’s most fascinating and well-known street. This is one of the most bizarre streets in San Francisco.

This one-way street feels like a roller coaster with all of its twists and turns. Lombard Street is known for its eight hairpin corners and planted flower beds, which were built in 1922 to make the slope easier to navigate for cars and passengers. The 600-foot street has a 5-mph speed limit and is lined with lovely Victorian residences.

If you’re feeling brave, you can drive down the street, but walking is a better alternative for a longer and more enjoyable experience. You can also take the cable car or any of the city’s other public transit systems to get here.
