San Francisco travel tips
Walk across the Golden Gate Bridge, the landmark of San Francisco
Golden Gate is Northern California's main transportation artery. The length of the bridge is 2737 m, the width is 27 m. You can walk or ride a bicycle across the bridge. On the other side of the bay, you will find a natural park, fortifications (or rather, what is left of them), and beaches. The monumental red spans have been immortalized in such movies as the Vampire, Terminator 4, Superman, and others.
Rent an e-bike or scooter in San Francisco
One of the best ways to get around the city is with Jump and Lyft e-bikes (Bay Wheels). Drive into areas with slides with caution – the electric charge may suddenly end. There is also an alternative – Scoot scooters and electric scooters.
Don't count on an all-night-long party in San Francisco bars
Bars in San Francisco are open until 02:00 (or even until 01:00) because, after this time, they stop selling alcohol. Also, at the entrance, you will be asked for your passport. So, start pub crawling early. It is also worth knowing that most cocktails in San Francisco establishments are strong enough.
