Golden Gate Bridge

The Golden Gate Bridge is one of the most beautiful architectural sites you will ever see, and it is also the #1 place that most tourists go to visit. There is a magnificent view of the bridge and the ocean, where you can feel the fresh air hit your face. You can ride a bicycle or walk the Golden Gate Bridge, personally it is one of my favorite places.

San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA)

This place is primarily for people for who love art. Free for teenagers as well as free on special occasions, this is one of the largest museums of modern art in San Francisco with abstract art and weird lines and things that I see, but I don’t understand the meaning of. This place is a place to chill and enjoy art.

Pier 39

Pier 39 is the best place you could ever visit in San Francisco because it just has so much to do. Being a big tourist attraction it’s home to arcade games, restaurants, shopping centers and much more. You can even see a lot of sea lions chilling getting a tan for the day. You can do this as a family day, or even you can go there with your friends, hang out, eat and have an awesome day!!!

Dolores Park

This is a park located in the mission district where you can play, sleep, have a picnic or even get yourself a tan. They have a magnificent view where you can see half of San Francisco, and you can enjoy the view and spend a lovely time.

16th Avenue Tiled Steps

Tiled Step is a perfect place to take that Instagram photo. The steps have stairs painted in different ways, and at night, some of the painted stairs glow at night! It is suitable for exercising because it is really tall and sometimes it is foggy so makes sure to check the weather before going there to take pictures.

Union Square

If you’re the type of person who loves to go shopping and get good deals, this is your place. Union Square is one of most crowded places by tourists and people and lies beside Chinatown. There are many brand names that you can find all around like H&M, Forever 21, Old Navy, Nike, Vans. There’s also a variety of restaurants to choose for if you’re feeling hungry.

Mission Alleys

The Mission alleyways are home to various murals. Some different alleys you can go and visit are the Balmy Alley, the Clarion Alley, the Carnaval Alley, and also The Women’s Building MaestraPeace Mural.

FuN fAcT: Did you know that one of the places most visited by tourists is California, but to be more specific, San Francisco? Here are some free places where you can have fun with your friends, family or even on a date with your boyfriend or girlfriend.
