Golden Gate Bridge
The Golden Gate Bridge provides one of the most beautiful views of San Francisco. As of 2009, it costs $6 to cross the bridge by car, but you can park on either side of the bridge and walk or bike the length of this suspension bridge. Stop at the middle of the bridge for an opportunity to take some beautiful pictures as you are directly over the San Francisco Bay.

AT&T Park, Home of the San Francisco Giants
San Francisco is a city of great culture, but it would be hard to top a day at the ball park to see the San Francisco Giants play. AT&T Park opened in 2000 and was named the national sports facility of the year by the Sports Business Journal. It is an impressive display of architecture that leaves the baseball fan feeling as if he is a part of the action. The food has been described as the best in the major leagues.
