Comemorada pelas suas ruas montanhosas, nevoeiro mal-humorado, famosa ponte, e vida nocturna agitada, a Cidade junto à Baía oferece muita diversão sob o sol. É difícil saber por onde começar, por isso é que estamos a proporcionar um itinerário diário sobre onde ir e o que fazer. Não há necessidade de guias ou agentes de viagem porque temos o furo interior nos melhores locais e atracções que não esquecerão tão cedo. Vamos começar!
Dia 1: Como Desfrutar da Área Iconic Bay Sights
Alcatraz. Fisherman’s Wharf. Muir Woods. With so many renowned attractions in the region, you have to be strategic in your planning and make sure you leave yourself enough time to appreciate the adventure. An ideal way to begin the day is on the open water with a 30-40 minute ferry ride from Fisherman’s Wharf or Union Square heading to Muir Woods and Sausalito. This journey will showcase exquisite views of the Golden Gate Bridge, and once you reach your destination, beautiful redwoods abound. Nothing beats getting up close to the world’s tallest trees, so it’s no surprise that President Teddy Roosevelt declared them a national monument in 1908. Coupled with this exhilarating excursion is the opportunity to check out the nearby seaside town of Sausalito, hailed for its views, dining, shopping, and art galleries, which hits all the sweet spots for visitors to the area. The tour will take you around five hours, after which you can jump on the ferry back to San Francisco.
For late afternoon and evening, no trip would be complete without a visit to Alcatraz. Not only will you get to see the many faces of the island, but the sunset over the Golden Gate Bridge and Bay Area can’t be beaten. If you’re captivated by the lore of Alcatraz (and there are plenty of intriguing facts to learn), a tour of the island and prison—complete with the popular cell house audio guide—will provide all the details you’re keen to discover.
É claro que toda esta educação institucional pode fazer com que tenha fome de outras coisas demasiado semelhantes a alimentos de conforto, que felizmente, tem a liberdade de devorar. Fisherman's Wharf é um local adequado para que os apreciadores de comida possam saborear experiências como um Sourdough Bread Tour. Mesmo os padeiros amadores que aperfeiçoaram as suas receitas durante a pandemia apreciarão uma dentada da mercadoria na padaria Boudin Bakery. Acrescente a isso um passeio pela Praça Ghirardelli ou pelo Cais 39 para sair dos carboidratos, e aproveitou ao máximo o dia e a noite durante as suas primeiras 24 horas.
Dia 2: Como fazer a vontade em favor da cultura e da culinária
O que é uma visita a São Francisco sem uma viagem a um museu de classe mundial? Com tantas opções culturais à escolha, não há desculpa para não verificar pelo menos alguns dos favoritos locais. Para começar, a Academia das Ciências da Califórnia. Um dos maiores museus de história natural do mundo (que também duplica como instituto de investigação), é o lar de mais de 46 milhões de espécimes de todo o mundo. Um número tão grande significa que para absorver tudo, dê a si próprio pelo menos uma boa janela de visualização de 3 a 4 horas. O CAS está aberto das 9h30 às 17h00 de segunda a sábado, e das 11h00 às 17h00 de domingo (com a última entrada às 16h00), portanto, planeie em conformidade.
If you’re looking for a quick introduction to everything-then an Ultimate San Francisco Food Tour & Bay Discovery Cruise is a safe bet to get a glimpse of it all in the best possible way. You will discover exciting and diverse cuisine in unique family-run food establishments and discover the story of San Francisco through its food and iconic neighborhood while exploring North Beach, Chinatown, and Downtown, dipping in and out of delis, bakeries, taquerias, dim sum hot spots, and more culminating with a special San Fran dish at the end. Highlights of this tour include the history of the Bay Area parks, Alcatraz Island, and a relaxing 90-minute sightseeing cruise to soak in the scenic views and incredible skyline. Make sure your device is fully charged to enjoy the audio tour.
Para os amantes de arte, o Museu de Arte Moderna de São Francisco - umdos maiores museus de arte contemporânea e moderna dos EUA - apresenta uma série de artistas globais. Desde Ellsworth Kelly e Andy Warhol a Gerhard Richter e Andreas Gursky, a colecção permanente - juntamente com exposições especiais limitadas - conserva doces para os olhos o suficiente para satisfazer todos os telespectadores. Sendo o primeiro museu da Costa Oeste dedicado exclusivamente a obrasdo século XX, SFMOMA não desilude. Passe pelo menos duas a três horas para captar tudo, das 10:00 às 17:00 de sexta-feira a terça-feira, ou das 13:00 às 20:00 de quinta-feira.
To top off the day, fix your gaze on the water with a Premier Dinner Cruise. After all, isn’t that what the Bay Area is known for? It’s as easy as an ocean breeze to plan a date night that delivers fab food and picturesque views of the San Francisco skyline. A plated experience definitely makes some lasting memories. Departing from Pier 3 on the Embarcadero on Washington Street (South Gate), cruises set sail from 7:00 pm -9:30 pm on Sunday & Thursday (boarding at 6:30 pm) and 7:30 pm-10:30 pm on Friday and Saturday (boarding at 7:00 pm).
Live entertainment will set the mood for an unforgettable night out on the water.
Dia 3: Como Explorar o Grande Ar Livre
One of the best things about the West Coast is the weather. With moderate temperatures year-round, the desire to be outdoors can be overwhelming when you visit, but that’s easy to wrangle through exhilarating activities such as biking, hiking, and walking. For cycling enthusiasts, a Golden Gate Bridge bike tour is the perfect way to take in the city. Starting near Ghiradelli Square, riders get on the National Bike Path to travel along the waterfront and over the bridge. During the 3-hour outing (10:00 am to 1:00 pm, they’ll be surrounded by spectacular views (and for sunsets, there are quite a few!) and have a chance to snap pics for the Gram at select stopping points.
Speaking of fab photo ops, Golden Gate Park is flush with them, including the alluring oasis of the San Francisco Botanical Garden with its lush greenery and gorgeous flowers. A walk through this respite from civilization will take about two-three hours (7:30 am to 5:00 pm with final entry at 4:00 pm). Alternatively, the serene setting and majestic architecture of the Japanese Tea Garden is an hour well spent to revitalize the soul (9:00 am to 5:00 or 6:00 pm—depending on the season—with the last entry 30 minutes before closing time).
Wrap up your final day with an evening walking tour through San Francisco’s iconic neighborhoods and areas. From Chinatown and the Embarcadero to Fisherman’s Wharf and Ghirardelli Square, there’s excitement around every corner—plus a range of diverse, delectable spots for dining. Looks like only one question remains: How fast can you pack?
