Highlights
Step back in time and uncover the secrets of San Francisco’s most captivating coastal mystery. On Sutro Baths: The Story of the Ruins, you’ll leave the bustling city streets behind to explore a playground lost to time. What is now a hauntingly beautiful grid of concrete foundations perched on the edge of the Pacific was once a spectacular, 10,000-pane glass "Crystal Palace" capable of hosting 10,000 Victorian-era swimmers at a single time. Led by an expert storyteller, this guided historical walk brings the Gilded Age roaring back to life. You’ll walk the massive promenade walls, venture through a dark sea cave blasted straight into the cliffside, and discover the incredible engineering that used ocean tides to fill seven massive pools.

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.
