Things to do in San Francisco in June

1

Golden Gate Bridge

The Art Deco suspension bridge that defines San Francisco's skyline — walk or bike across for harbour views, or photograph it from Battery Spencer or Crissy Field on the clearer, less foggy mornings.

2

Alcatraz Island

The former federal penitentiary in the bay, reachable only by the official ferry — the audio tour, narrated partly by former guards and inmates, is one of the city's most consistently praised experiences. Book weeks ahead.

3

Ferry Building

A restored 1898 marketplace on the Embarcadero, now home to artisan food stalls and a Saturday farmers market — a good lunch stop with bay views.

4

Chinatown

The oldest Chinatown in North America, entered through the ornate Dragon Gate on Grant Avenue — Waverly Place's balconies and the fortune cookie factory on Ross Alley are worth seeking out beyond the main strip.

5

Golden Gate Park

A 1,000-acre park larger than New York's Central Park, holding the de Young Museum, Japanese Tea Garden, and California Academy of Sciences within its grounds.

6

Muir Woods Day Trip

An old-growth coastal redwood forest 30 minutes north of the city — some trees predate the Roman Empire. Parking requires an advance reservation; the shuttle from Sausalito is the easier option.
