5. Step into the peaceful wonder of Muir Woods, a forest sanctuary just north of San Francisco where time seems to slow down. You'll have 90 minutes to explore shaded trails beneath towering coastal redwoods, some over 1,000 years old and reaching heights of 250 feet. Often wrapped in a cool, misty fog from the nearby Pacific, the forest offers a serene escape filled with the sounds of rustling leaves and birdsong. It’s the perfect place to reconnect with nature and experience one of California’s most magical landscapes.

7. Visit Sausalito — a charming waterfront town with stunning views of the Bay, San Francisco skyline, and Bay Bridge. Often ranked among the most beautiful small cities in America, Sausalito is rich in history and coastal charm. Strategically located along the Pacific Coast Highway, it once served as a ferry hub connecting to Hyde Street Pier in San Francisco. During World War II, it was home to the Marinship shipyard, where Liberty ships were built. By the late 1960s, the waterfront became known for its vibrant houseboat communities. Enjoy its relaxed vibe, explore local art galleries, or savor fresh seafood at one of its many restaurants. Want more time here? You can take the ferry back to San Francisco.

About San Francisco

San Francisco crowds steep hills onto a peninsula between the Pacific and its bay, with cable cars, the Golden Gate Bridge and colourful neighbourhoods.

The Golden Gate Bridge spans the strait at the mouth of the bay, often wrapped in fog, and walking or cycling across it is a classic. Boats cross to Alcatraz, the former island prison, while Fisherman's Wharf is known for seafood and the sea lions that bask on the docks of Pier 39. The Ferry Building is a food lover's market.
