5 Must-See Sights Near Your San Francisco Vacation Home
1. Golden Gate Bridge
Staying in a San Francisco vacation rental allows you the freedom to visit San Francisco's many attractions at your own convenience. A must-see for any visitor is the Golden Gate Bridge. One of the most iconic structures in modern history, the Golden Gate Bridge has been in operation since 1937. Every day, during daylight, you can walk or bike along the bridge to take in beautiful views of the San Francisco Bay, or perhaps view the bridge from nearby Golden Gate Park.
2. Alcatraz
Another famous landmark in San Francisco is the former prison of Alcatraz, located on an island in the bay. The site first housed a lighthouse (the first on the West Coast) before being converted to a prison, which was in use from 1934 to 1963. Some of America's most notorious criminals were housed in Alcatraz, including Al Capone. The building is now open for public viewing and is accessible by ferries that run frequently. Visitors can tour the prison on their own or follow along with an optional audio tour.
