North of San Francisco,
Cross the Golden Gate Bridge!
Even more than the discovery of the Golden Gate Bridge, you have to push more (or less) far to discover other places not to be missed!
If you are more "nature" or more "city", you will find something to satisfy your curiosity! And if you want the balance between culture and nature, the most famous wineries in the United States are here! If you have (at least) a day to devote to the Napa Valley, this is one of the must-see attractions!
A breath of fresh air,
Whether it's just near the Golden Gate Bridge or further north, there are fantastic walks to do! You will have the choice between a side beach, or a side Bay, or the interior of the lands.
You will also be able to pass from one to the other. If you are adept long walks, I suggest you go from Stinson Beach, and climb to Mount Tamalpais. It is not far from San Francisco and it will make you discover landscapes with a very varied flora as well as remarkable points of view!
