If you are coming to San Francisco on a budget, here are some great things for you to do.

First you should go to Embarcadero to see Bay Bridge and lots of beautiful views. It’s located not far from EC-school and it is good because you can get it by foot.

Also in San Francisco are many amazing parks. For example, you can go to the Golden Gate Park for a picnic and playing in various games on fresh air. Also you can take your skateboard or bicycle because there are many places where you can ride it.  It can be very funny. Golden Gate Park pretty far from down town and I advise you go there by muni but if you like walking very much it will be about 45 minutes by foot.

Then you can go to the ocean beach to see the Pacific Ocean and sunbath if weather should be good. You can play soccer, volleyball or something else with other people on the beach.  It is near from the Golden Gate Park and it will be very easy to get there.

Also all this places have stunning views and you have a chance to take the great photos.

Have a good time!

If you are coming to San Francisco on a budget, here are some great things for you to do.

First, you should go to Golden Gate Bridge and see famous bridge in world. It is located at Persidio and it is good because you can see exceedingly beautiful view and bridge. However, it is often foggy day. You can’t see beautiful view and bridge in foggy day. Beside it is a little cold and windy. I hope that it is sunny when you go there.

Then you can go to Golden Gate Park and see a lot of things in park like museum, lack, grove ….ext. It is located at______. It is good because Golden Gate Park  is the fifth most-visited city park in the United States after Central Park in New York City. Also if you go there, you can relax in park with good view and you can go famous museum in San Francisco.  Moreover you can experience real American styles.

You should take a cable car and go to the cable car museum. It is located at near the powell bart station and cable car museum located at 1201 Mason Street. It is good because it is famous in San Francisco.

Next, you can go to the twin peaks and see night view of San Francisco. This is awesome and fantastic. It is located at Twin peaks. If you don’t have a car, you will difficultly go to there. Twin peaks often is foggy. If you are lucky, you will see night view of San Francisco. You should try many times.

If you have strong mind, you will be able to go to many places. You need Google maps, which is very useful. Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Next place is Fisherman’s Wharf.
I like to eat seafood so I usually go to Fisherman’s Wharf for eating seafood.
Clam chowder and Crab chowder are so popular food in here.
I have eaten them in Fisherman’s Wharf. I can recommend that for you!
Especially, Crab is so delicious. but it’s a little expensive. you have to check the cost.
Lastly, You should go to Lombard Street.
if you go there , you can see a lot of flowers in here. It’s so pretty street.
