4 hours in San Francisco, what to do?
This is 4 hours of sightseeing time, not 4 hours layover.
My idea with no car: San Francisco side of Golden Gate Bridge Fisherman's Wharf Coit Tower Alternate itinerary: Alcatraz? Too weird: Hiller Aviation Museum - doesn't have broad appeal but I'd like that if I'm by myself. My idea with a car: Treasure Island University of California, Berkeley Presidio and/or Marin County side of Golden Gate Bridge Alternate idea: Muir Woods Golden Gate Bridge |
Exploratorium
SF MoMA Golden Gate Park, with museums Fort Point Skip Treasure Island IMO. Lots more.... |

Take the BART to Montgomery/Powell Cable Car to Fisherman Wharf Bus to Coit Tower Walk back down have something to eat at North Beach or Chinatown Get back on the BART to the Airport Alcatraz also requires some specific timing as there is only a set number of ferries and times. You could easily spend a couple of hours on the island. |
listen to the locals and the oz guy
skip treasure island
skip muir woods alcatraz needs a pre booking |
If you have four hours in SF proper, I'd do Alcatraz (assuming the timing works) and pick one of: Chinatown, North Beach, or Fisherman's Wharf. You probably won't have time for the cable car if you do Alcatraz, especially if we're talking about a weekend or good-weather day, when the lines can be long. FW is obviously a tourist trap and not representative of the rest of the City, but it's still something many tourists like to see. It all depends on your tastes.
