Book a Flight to San Francisco

There are a million things on your list of things to do for your trip to The City by the Bay, but you’ve been dreading scouring hundreds of flights to find the one that best suits your needs. With Hotwire, you don’t have to stress over booking a flight. Just plug in your search criteria and let Hotwire find the best deals. Now you can spend less time booking and more time planning the things that will make your trip to San Francisco unforgettable.

Fun-filled days in The Golden State

Top Things to do in San Francisco: If you’re in town on business or for a family visit and have some extra time to spare, check out a few of San Francisco’s top attractions. If you consider yourself a bit of a history buff, hop on the ferry to Alcatraz Island for a self-guided tour of the abandoned federal prison. Alcatraz Island is also home to the oldest lighthouse on the West Coast.

For a different type of adventure, immerse yourself in a unique part of San Francisco’s culture with a hotel stay in Chinatown. Along its colorful streets, you'll discover architectural marvels, Chinese restaurants, handmade goods, and novelty shopping. If you simply want to enjoy Northern California scenery, head over to Baker Beach to capture breathtaking views of the Golden Gate Bridge. Although you won’t be able to swim at the beach, it’s the perfect spot for sunbathing, hiking, and fishing.

Explore S’more: Mount Sutro Open Space Reserve is a 61-acre outdoor adventure reserve that features more than 5 miles of hiking and biking trails. It’s the perfect lush forest escape for wildlife photography and solo adventuring. Is getting out on the water more your thing? At Dogpatch Paddle you can rent paddleboards and kayaks to explore on your own or take private or group lessons. Or maybe you’d like to get further out to see and embark on a whale watching and sea animal excursion on a dolphin and whale watching adventure with San Francisco Whale Tours, during which you can also catch glimpses of seals, harbor porpoises, and more.

Unusual Foodie Stops: Unique dining experiences abound in San Francisco. Crown & Crumpet is a quaint tea and bakery shop with décor reminiscent of an English eatery. If you want to catch dinner and a movie, try Foreign Cinema, a unique street-side restaurant where you can see arthouse films and delight in a refined menu that features foods for brunch and dinner—and with desserts like pumpkin chevre cheesecake with pomegranate and huckleberry sauce, you’ll never want to leave. Tonga Room & Hurricane Club serves tiki food and drinks in a tropical setting fit for a Hollywood set. Dine around the central lagoon and enjoy tropical thunderstorms and live music as bands play on a floating boat.

If it’s brunch you want, you’re in luck. Brenda’s French Soul Food serves everything from beignets and po’boys to French toast and blackened voodoo barbeque sauce oysters. If you can already taste the chipotle rémoulade hushpuppies melting in your mouth, Brenda’s French Soul Food needs to be your first meal after landing at SFO.

San-Can’t-Resist-O: San Francisco features hundreds of hidden attractions. The Secret Tiled Staircase consists of 163 steps of colorful mosaic tile art that rewards stunning views of the Sunset district in San Francisco. The artsy attraction is featured beside a garden that serves as a natural habitat preservation effort for the Green Hairstreak Butterfly. Pier 39 is another San Francisco Bay attraction you won’t want to miss. The pier features fresh seafood restaurants, boating docks, an Alcatraz gift shop, artisan and souvenir shops, and front row seats to the Pier 39 sea lions.
