Then, head to Presidio Park to explore its dense forests, scenic trails, and historic buildings, including The Walt Disney Family Museum. Don't miss a visit to the Golden Gate Bridge, a mile west of the park.
Spend a day exploring San Francisco's iconic landmarks and neighborhoods. Start with a trip to Alcatraz Island and experience the notorious prison's history. Next, head to the Fisherman's Wharf, Pier 39 and Ghirardelli Square to enjoy the bustling atmosphere, seafood and street performances. Visit Lombard Street to see its winding turn and photograph the stunning views of San Francisco's skyline. Finally, end your day at Chinatown, immersing yourself in its cultural heritage and sampling its delicious cuisine.
Finally, take a day trip to Napa Valley and explore the world-famous wine country. Start your tour at Castello di Amorosa, a medieval-style castle known for its outstanding wines, excellent scenery and beautiful tasting rooms. Next, visit Beringer Vineyards, the oldest continuously operated winery in Napa Valley, to learn about the wine-making process and stroll through its beautiful gardens. Finally, Visit the charming town of Yountville to sample premium wines at the top-class cellars and dine at the excellent eateries.
If you have more time, you can add a night tour of the city, explore the Muir Woods National Monument, visit the iconic Haight-Ashbury neighborhood or go on a bike ride across the Golden Gate Bridge. If you have less time, shorten your Napa Valley wine tour, skip Alcatraz, or explore fewer parks.
