Have a few hours to kill? Here's how:
If you have fewer than five hours,
Our Airport is also a museum with a great deal to see and do.
If you have more than five hours, try this:
Take BART to The Embarcadero. Visit the Ferry Building. With The Bay at your right, walk to Fisherman's Wharf. From Victorian Park, take a cable car to Lombard Street. Walk down Lombard Street to Columbus Avenue. Turn right to Stockton Street. If after business hours, turn left on Pacific Avenue and right on Grant Avenue to Post Street. If during business hours, stay on Stockton Street to go left on Washington Street and right on Grant Avenue to Post Street. Turn right to Union Square, left on Powell Street to return to BART to The Airport.
