Re: Planning a trip from SF to Seattle. Input requested.
If you're ambitious, reasonably in shape, and have decent shoes, you can cover most of the interesting parts of SF in a walking tour. Here's how I would do it:
Start at Fort Mason - walk over to Fisherman's Wharf for breakfast and awesome views of the GG bridge and Alcatraz
Make your wait to Coit Tower to check out the lay of the land
Check out North Beach
Take the Mason/Powell cable car to the main cable car station
Walk up to top of Nob Hill to check out the Fairmont, Flood Mansion, etc.
Cruise down to Chinatown
Make your way down stockton to Union Square
If interested make your way through downtown and on to the Ferry Building for views of the Bay Bridge, if not just head down to market and
Take Bart to the Mission for a lunchtime burrito
Walk from the Mission, through Delores Park, down 17th St. to the Castro
Head up Market to Filmore, take a left up to Lower Haight
Walk up to Upper Haight, or take a bus if you're getting worn out, take a detour down Scott St. to Alamo Sq and the 6 Sisters if feeling ambitious
Head up to the top of Buena Vista park if really ambitious for some great views, make your way back down to Haight on the side streets to see some nice Victorians up close
Check out GG park and the Arboretum
When you get bored with that come out the north side of GG park and hop the 5 Fulton to the beach
Have some apps and watch the sunset at the Beach Chalet or Cliff House, if you're not a picky eater, have dinner at either
Go back to the hotel and soak your feet
