Explore at your own pace with a full 24-hour pass that lets you hop on and off as often as you like. Visit top neighborhoods and landmarks like Fisherman’s Wharf, Union Square, Haight-Ashbury, Chinatown, North Beach, Civic Center, the Presidio, and Golden Gate Park. The open-top bus gives you stunning views of the skyline, bridges, and bay. With 20 convenient stops around the city, you can shop, dine, and explore San Francisco your way. (Route map provided at your first stop.)
- Day Two: Now that you’ve seen the city on four wheels, grab two more and ride with Bay City Bike. Pedal across the Golden Gate Bridge for sweeping views and cruise down into the waterfront town of Sausalito. Or loop back through the scenic Presidio and Marina District. For the full city experience, bike the coastal route from Fisherman’s Wharf to Ocean Beach, then return through Golden Gate Park. (Bikes must be returned by closing time.).
