Naturally beautiful San Francisco

Within the 49 square miles of San Francisco, you’ll find endless things to do, see and taste. One of the best places to start is the amazingly beautiful Presidio. A former military base built in the late 1700s, it is now a US National Park full of trees and rolling hills – and some of the city’s most spectacular views. It’s also where the storied Golden Gate Bridge begins, so be sure to visit the small history museum and info center before venturing out for a walk (or drive) over this breathtaking span.

Eat your way through the city of San Francisco, California

You’ll no doubt be hungry when you’re done and you’re in luck! San Francisco is a big foodie city full of award-winning restaurants and eateries. Some of the most delicious spots are found in the Mission District, Hayes Valley and the Marina.

More to visit in San Francisco with your rental car

San Francisco’s Chinatown is not to be missed either, plus it’s centrally located for easy access. While you’re there, head over to the free Cable Car Museum to learn about one of the city’s claims to fame. Then hop on a lovingly restored cable car for a wild ride up and down those vertiginous hills, the vistas are truly stunning. And look for Alcatraz out in the Bay!
Save some time for the Ferry Building, one of the only downtown structures that survived the fires after the 1906 earthquake. Besides the delectable food and outdoor farmer’s market on Saturdays, you can also get on one of many ferries to Bay Area destinations like Oakland, Alameda, Angel Island and Sausalito. So, all you have to do is choose your rental car at SFO airport and enjoy your holidays! PS: Getaround started in San Francisco so, of course, we left our heart there!
