San Francisco is one of the most romantic cities to visit in California. There are a number of things for couples, both young and old, to see and do in the city. In this article, we will go in depth and cover some of the best romantic spots and attractions that San Francisco has to offer. We will also take the time cover some of the area’s finest restaurants.
Part 1: See the City
When anybody comes to a new city for a vacation, the first thing that they want to do is see the city and take in all the sights and sounds it has to offer. In the case of San Francisco, there are a number of world famous tourist attractions, such as the Golden Gate Bridge or the Alcatraz Prison (maybe not the most romantic spot, but a very interesting visit regardless) that you should take the time to see. A must stop location for all couples who visit the city is Fisherman’s Wharf. The area is the number one travel destination for those looking to relax in a lively atmosphere filled with street music and entertainment, shopping, and casual dining. A walk along the Wharf and the various piers during sunset is one of the most romantic things you can do in the city. Also, be sure to take a ride in the cable cars that will help you get anywhere you need to go around the city quickly. These cable cars cannot be found anywhere else in the world.
When in the Bay Area, no trip is complete without taking the time to visit the Golden Gate Bridge. The bridge features a parking lot—many couples will park and take a long walk along the sidewalks. If you do plan on walking the bridge, be sure to bring a jacket as it is often colder and much windier on the bridge, than it is in the city. There are also a good number of both biking and walking tours that will take you around the city and across the Golden Gate Bridge.
Part 2: Dining
San Francisco is very well known for the number of top notch restaurants it offers. Since we can’t possibly touch on all of them, we will briefly mention a few of the most popular ones. Cote Sud is a great restaurant to enjoy French cuisine and was voted the best French restaurant in the Bay Area in both 2004 and 2005. A. Sabella's Seafood and Steaks is another top restaurant in the area and is perfect for any seafood lover. A Sabella’s was voted the best restaurant in Fisherman’s Wharf by the San Francisco Chronicle and is a great place to go for a romantic night out.
San Francisco is a wonderful city for couples to visit and is thought by many to be one of the most romantic places on the West Coast. There is a lot to do and see, but the whole environment is laid back and the weather is just perfect all year round, so be sure to spend a lot of your time outdoors just walking through the city, resting on one of the area’s many sandy beaches, or taking in the sites and sounds San Francisco has to offer.
