    If you happen to be coming from the south the absolute best way is to drive up Highway 1, right along the coast. But once in the city the best way to get around (the most fun and scenic anyway) is to take the trolley car. You have to do it at least once. This pic is taken from the back of a trolley (thus the blur).

    There are many public garages and lots to park in. Prices range from a few dollars (US) an hour to flat rates (usually at night) from about $5 and up. Free Street parking can be difficult to find but it's usually worth a look before settling on a lot or garage.

    If you do chose to drive, then you must go over the Golden Gate Bridge at least once. While driving over it, you can fully realize how beautiful the city is. As you can imagine, there can be many auto accidents around this area. I remember almost having our car side-swiped by a bus. I guess being alert while driving is another important tips for travelers here.

    Go,go, GO CAR!

    Believe it or not, these tiny little vehicles are capable of climbing up San Francisco's steep hills--we saw one at the COIT TOWER. I don't know if I'd want to join the throng of traffic in a Go Car, but they were really cute! The cost is determined by the hour: first hour is $44, second hour is $34 additional and each hour after that is $24 additional. Once you hit 5 or more hours, the cost does not increase.

    Mr. Toad Tours resembles something you might see driving around the streets of Disney World-- it's that novel. You can tool around San Francisco in an environmentally friendly car that's propane fueled. Three models are available for your consideration: a 1918 Packard, a 1912 Rambler and a 1929 Model A. The 80 minute HOP AROUND THE CITY TOUR costs $32 for adults; $26 for students with ID, seniors and the military; $15 for kids ages 4-12 and free for under 4. Tours lasting two plus hours are also available, please see the website for more information.

    By Car: Parking is Expensive and Limited

  • Be prepared to work to find a parking place along Fisherman's Wharf. There are parking lots but be ready to pay for that parking using a machine. Use the machine before you get in your car otherwise you'll have to move the car to an available space by the machine, park again and get out...it's very inconvenient. Trying to park on the street is impossible. I haven't used any kind of public transportation to get to the Wharf so I can't recommend any.

    Built from 1933 to 1936, the bridge has an eastern and a western span connected at Yerba Buena Island. Tolls are charged for west-bound traffic only (Oakland to San Francisco) and the cost is $3, expected to rise to $4 to help finance the new eastern span that is still under construction. The Bay Bridge carries 280,000 commuters each day across its two-mile, double-decked spans. On 29 April 2007, sections of the Oakland side of the bridge were destroyed when a tanker truck hauling fuel wrecked and caught fire melting and collapsing portions of I-80 and I-580 onto I-880.
