Good to know

Weather-wise, the best time to visit San Francisco is in May, June, September and October.  That’s because spring and fall surprisingly bring the best weather.  But, an additional benefit is that you’ll run into fewer crowding situations at the top San Francisco attractions.  Summer, the busiest time of the year for tourism, is a lot cooler than you might think.  While people in southern California sunbathe on the beach, visitors to San Francisco might need to bundle up during the months of July and August.  Winter is chilly and a bit windy; but, you can take advantage of cheaper flights and hotel rates due to the decreased demand. The best time of day to take a San Francisco Pop Culture Tour is just after dawn or right before sunset.  That way, when you encounter a new San Francisco attraction, you’ll be viewing it with a bit of natural, romantic lighting.  But, if you want the absolute clearest photos of your S.F. vacation, then noontime might be best.  Deciding whether you want that early morning fog depicted in your camera roll is what to do in San Francisco!
