Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE WATERFRONT

Fisherman’s Wharf & the Embarcadero

A lively finish along San Francisco’s waterfront: ride the piers around Fisherman’s Wharf and cruise the Embarcadero, the rebuilt boulevard that replaced the old two-story freeway after the 1989 earthquake.

THE ICONS

Golden Gate Bridge, Fort Point & Crissy Field

The suggested route routes you past Crissy Field and Fort Point for classic views beneath the Golden Gate Bridge—compact, cinematic stops that define the city’s maritime edge.

THE QUIRK

Lombard Street & Ghirardelli Square

Short, memorable detours include Lombard’s famed switchbacks—the ‘crookedest street’—and the old chocolate-republic at Ghirardelli Square, small pauses that pack big San Francisco personality.
