Top Culture in San Francisco

Don’t forget to bring a jacket! It gets really windy on the bridge, and even if it’s warm in the city, it can be chilly up there.

I suggest visiting during the week if you can. The weekends get super crowded, and I found it much more enjoyable with fewer people around.

My advice is to stay away from the food trucks right at the square. They cost more and the lines are long. I found a great little dim sum place a couple of blocks away that was much better and way cheaper!

I suggest grabbing breakfast at the Blue Bottle Coffee kiosk early, like around 8 AM, before the crowds show up. Their coffee is amazing and the pastries are a must-try!

I think visiting during lunch around 12 PM is a great idea if you want to find a good spot to enjoy some snacks while taking in the views. Just be ready for a crowds!

If you want to avoid long lines, try to visit after 3 PM on weekdays. I went around that time and it was much less hectic, giving me more time to enjoy each piece!

While the architecture is stunning, don’t forget to wander around the lagoon! I kicked back, enjoyed the views, and even spotted some swans that made the experience extra special.

I recommend downloading a local map on your phone beforehand. The Wi-Fi was spotty for me, and I lost track of where I was a couple of times! A map always helps.
