Hmmmm....

 

If you want a San Francisco experience, I would stay in Union Square at Grand Hyatt or Fairmont at Nob Hill. I'm probably not the person to recommend lesbian things to do, because I do mix it up...but a stroll through the Castro is something out of towners like to do.  Might stop in for a film if there is something of interest playing at Castro Theater.

I like to take my visiting friends on a boat tour of the bay. The sights of the city are majestic from the water with the Bay and Golden Gate bridges framing the city. There is a ferry that visits Alcatraz and Angel islands, but you can easily find a good tour that will just show you around the bay. Yelp is a good source for finding the right kind of tour that suits your preferences. 

Dolores Park is under construction so it may not be a good destination, but the area cafes are a good lunch spot. You can ride a street car from one end of Market to the other. Be sure to check out 511.org to plan your transit if you want to ride a street car, a cable car, the BART to check out regional attractions like Golden Gate National Recreation Area, Muir Woods, etc.

We only travel from the UK but that takes long enough! This will be our 6th trip with Olivia and we've found we always need a couple of days to recover from the journey before the fun begins.

Haven't been to SF, but enjoy your time there!

Hi there - we need some guidance.

 

As we have to fly 24+ hours to get to the states, Em and I have decided to have some time in San Franciso.  Could anyone recommend a place to stay (we'd like something nice as we're travelling all that way - price is NOT a major factor).  Also, any recommendations for lesbian things to do as neither of us have been to San Francisco for 15+ years?

 

cheers

jane and emma
