Visiting San Francisco Bay Area

San Francisco, the city by the bay, is ideal in summer, but bring a sweater – you will need it. Someone once said “ the coldest winter I ever spent was summer in San Francisco”. On the tip of the San Francisco Peninsula, the city is surrounded on three sides by water. Well known for its hills, favorite visitor activities include descending Russian Hill via the winding curves of Lombard Street, or taking in the city views from Twin Peaks. The Golden Gate Bridge is always a popular sight spanning the peninsula with Marin County to the North.

Visitors to San Francisco consider CityPass San Francisco to maximize your vacation in the city. CityPass is a one price ticket that not only allows seven day use of public transportation including cable cars, but also entrance to six of San Francisco’s most popular attractions. CityPass is a great opportunity for first time visitors to see some of the city’s best for one reasonable price. CityPass can be purchased at the attractions which include the Blue and Gold Fleet Cruise, Aquarium of the Bay, and the California Academy of Sciences.

Remember Major League Baseball’s San Francisco Giants are playing at AT&T field in San Francisco through October. With San Francisco’s cool summer weather, a Giants game is an ideal summer activity. The last Sunday in August is Dog Days at AT&T Park – you can bring your dog to the game. The Giants host the Diamondbacks in an afternoon game where there will be a pregame parade and costume contest for the dogs. Remember The Best Western Americania and Best Western The Hotel California in downtown San Francisco are pet-friendly hotels, so you stay and enjoy a night on the town.

Marin County just over the Golden Gate Bridge is home to the Frank Lloyd Wright designed Marin Civic Center. On Thursday and Sunday mornings you can support local farmers at the Civic Center Farmers Market. The farmers market is particularly nice in summer when there is plenty of fresh produce available. Antique shoppers take note; the Marin County Antique Show will be August 21st and 22nd. From paper and postcards to fine art, crystal and jewelry, this is a great show for collectors.

The Best Western Corte Madera Inn is located in the heart of Marin County. This is a great place to stay and enjoy the Antique Show and relax afterwards at the hotel’s junior Olympic size swimming pool and two Jacuzzis. There is even a professional putting green, so you can relax and stay put for the weekend.
