Top Architecture in California

I recommend timing your visit around sunset. The views from the pier are absolutely breathtaking, and it’s a great time to grab some photos.

I suggest visiting on a weekday if you can. The weekend crowds are no joke, and it’s way more chill to enjoy the pier without all the hustle.

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!

Check the showtimes for the Dolby Theatre if you're interested in catching a tour. The tours usually sell out fast, and it can be a bummer if you miss out
