San Francisco holidays are a sightseeing dream. Thoughts of San Francisco bring images of the wonderful Golden Gate Bridge, the incredible Alcatraz Island and the old cable cars that have run up and down the hill here since 1873. It is a city that combines historic landmarks with a modern economy for a unique holidaying experience.
A city filled with an eclectic mix of things to see and do, San Francisco isn’t your classic Californian location. Iconic destinations like the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz entice tourists but it is the character of this destination that sticks in the mind of visitors.
San Francisco is a melting pot of old meets new, a place with an exciting, forward-thinking population but one that also has a spot in its heart for the fascinating history of the city. From riding a traditional cable car to watching sea lions at Pier 39, each day is a new adventure.
Discover how true the hype is by taking the opportunity to visit one of the most impressive cities in the United States.

The peak season of June through August sees the majority of visitors and, whilst this is the summer, the microclimates in San Francisco can change the temperature rapidly.
There is a more professional look to the city than the rest of California, so you might want to consider this when packing. It is recommended that you pack layers for your trip because of the way the weather varies.
You might not get the chance to break out the shorts and t-shirts so be sure to have a sweater, long sleeved shirts, jeans, black pants, light jackets and comfortable walking shoes that are ready for the trials of this great city.
To protect yourself from the elements then a hat will be useful, sunglasses and sun cream is needed whenever you travel and a travel-sized umbrella will come in extremely useful. As you are in the United States, most toiletries and medical supplies are easily available so just pack the essentials.
San Francisco enjoys dry summers and mild winters and you will tend to find that cool mornings with fog moves towards afternoons of temperatures between 12ºC and 21ºC before it cools off again once the sun sets.
Although it isn’t far from Los Angeles, you get a completely different type of holiday from the City by the Bay. You don’t get much rain, although chances do increase between December and March, but you need to pack with layers because it isn’t a place for inland summers and the temperature can drop very quickly.
