Can anyone confirm if there are any public parking places where I can park my car for 3 days while in San Francisco?
I have got an amazing rate on the Galleria Hotel, Union Square but they have said that parking is valet only and at a cost of $45.00per day - kind of undoes the great rate they offered.

We want to visit the castro. I've heard there are some unique shops but what else is there to do in the area? It seems rather out of the way, I can't decide if it's worth the time to go. Is that a safe area to be in at night?

We will be driving from San Fran to Monterey on the 4th of July. We plan on taking the scenic route, Pacific coast highway is highway 1, correct? If by chance the traffic starts to get to us is there any area along the way that may not be quite as scenic and may be worth skipping to move along quicker? If so, where would we turn off? thanks

Is it better to book trips online or wait untill I get there?

FYI , all of you helpful experts. I'm addicted to this site. There is just so much to see and do in so little time. We like to relax and do our best to see what we can see so I have to pick our top sites. I have a million questions and this site is so much fun. Soon , I'll be on the Monterey and Napa site. Thanks for all of your help!!

We will be in San Fran for 4 days and there is so much I want to see. I would love to see the Painted Ladies. Should we walk through the neighborhood or look from the park? What else in that area should we do?

We would be staying at Lombard street and anything close would be helpful.
Thanks ... Answers appreciated ...

Hi, I am travelling to SFO in July 2013 for abt 3 days. We shall reach SFO at around 1.30 pm and are booked at Town House Motel at 1650 Lombard street.

Answers Appreciated !!!

We will be staying at the Hilton, corner of O Farrell and Mason. Any suggestions for dinner that we can easily walk to? Dress up, dress down. Also someplace fun to go for a drink. We're on the edge of the tenderloin so not in that directions. Thanks

Again, opinions please. I keep reading that Alcatraz is better at night but yet personally I would think the ride over would be more fun during the day. What makes this so special at night? Thanks!

We're not going to have a car for our visit. We normally like to walk but because of the hills not sure what to expect as far as walking. I've seen the hop on hop off in NYC but never used it. We just walked everywhere. I would love opinions on the Hop on hop off for San Fran. Seems like a good idea for our busiest site seeing day. Thanks!

WHich is the better choice to stay, The Intercontinental San Francisco or The Intercontinental Mark Hopkins?

Which hotel is a better choice Intercontinental Sanfranciso, or Intercontinenatl Mark Hopkins?

Hello! My boyfriend and I are planning a trip to Northern California, arriving in San Francisco early Monday, May 28th (landing 10:30am), and flying out on a red eye Saturday, June 1 at 11pm. This is what we are thinking for an itinerary:
Monday - spend the afternoon and evening in SF and sleep with a friend in Oakland.
Tuesday - leave early and head to Napa for the morning and on to Tahoe to arrive in late afternoon
Wednesday - spend the day in Tahoe
Thursday - leave early and drive to Yosemite, sleep there Thurs night
Friday - leave early and drive to Big Sur, sleep in hotel or camp there
Saturday- drive up the coast, stopping in Monterey, etc. and arrive back in SF in the evening for our flight home.
Our questions are: 1) is this overly ambitious? too much time in the car to really enjoy anything? and, 2) What is the best approach to driving from Tahoe to Yosemite in late May and does that route even make sense?
Thank you for any advice!!!

is it safe to walk at night. within a few miles we prefer to walk rather than take a cab. we will be staying at the Hilton, union square
