When you think of San Francisco, what comes to mind? Is it the towering majesty of the Golden Gate Bridge? Or perhaps the lush greenery of the Golden Gate Park? While these attractions never lose their luster, they are only the tip of the iceberg in what San Francisco has to offer.
If you’re coming in via the San Francisco Airport, you can pick up a car rental from the airport’s Rental Car Centre. Having a car on hand is a good way to get around town with ease. Although the San Francisco Airport is located a little out of town in San Bueno, it won’t take you long to drive into the city.
Self-driving is a great way to get the most out of the city. Cruise around the town at your own pace and take in the sights of the town. Why not go for a drive down the Golden Gate Bridge and experience one of San Francisco’s more iconic landmarks firsthand. The Golden Gate Bridge stands at a massive 1,280 meters long and is considered one of the seven wonders of the modern world.
Another great attraction San Francisco has to offer would be the Pier 39. Pier 39 offers a wide range of family-friendly activities such as live performances by jugglers and acrobats, to seafood served fresh at the local restaurants. If you’ve more of an interest in the arts, head down to the Palace of Fine Arts Theatre and catch one of the many performances from orchestras to ballet.
If you’re a first-time traveller to San Francisco and are itching to take in all the sights of the city, then why not try out the 49-Mile Scenic Drive? This route lets you witness some of San Francisco’s history whilst allowing you to enjoy great scenic views as well. The route takes you through places such as the Great Highway, that is located right alongside the Pacific Ocean, as well as right by the City Hall and the Transamerica Pyramid. Pick up a car rental from Hertz Car Rental and tour the city at your own pace. It’s worth it to take the drive to see all that San Francisco has to offer.
San Francisco can be a bit of a challenge to navigate with its many hills and narrow streets if you aren’t used to driving in large cities. Use a navigation app or pay close attention to the bountiful street signs and who knows what great sights you might find on your way!
