There are lots of great places to visit in San Francisco. However, by taking the bus and going to places by foot, I was only able to visit two main attractions that day: The Golden Gate Bridge and riding the cable car. In the video, while I was riding the cable car, I passed by Union Square and I sort of "panned" around. Before boarding the cable car, I panned around Ghirardelli Square.
The picture of the thumbnail shows Lombard Street, the crooked street. Also in the thumbnail, you can see the Coit Tower if you squint a bit. The thumbnail is sort of deceiving since I didn't really cover it in this video, but did pass by it while riding the cable car. The thumbnail photo of Lombard street was taken when I last visited during the daytime.
Other places you may want to visit, that I haven't mentioned above, are the Embarcadero, Fisherman's Wharf, Alcatraz Island, and the Presidio, just to name a few. Of course, Chinatown is also an attraction, but I've been there so many times, I don't consider it an attraction anymore. That's the first place I go to whenever I go to San Francisco, mainly for the food.
Timeline:
0:21 - 5:59 Golden Gate Bridge brief tour
6:57 - 27:53 Cable Car ride
6:00 - Ghirardelli Square
15:42 - In the center is the Transamerica Pyramid and the Bay Bridge.
23:55 - Union Square
Tips when you're navigating by foot:
Assuming you're in Downtown San Francisco or Chinatown and you want to go to the Golden Gate Bridge, I suggest walking a mile to Van Ness and board NUMI bus 28 ($2.75) and not take the Golden Gate Transit buses, as I thought their fare system could be a bit complicated to understand at first and it starts at about $3.65.
Bus 28 starts at Van Ness and ends at Golden Gate Welcome Center, so you wouldn't get lost. If you start at somewhere else in San Francisco, I suggest taking another bus and transfer to bus 28 at Van Ness because the hills can be very tiresome to walk up and down.
