Discover the best that this place has to offer by adding Westfield San Francisco Centre and San Francisco Museum of Modern Art to your to-do list. If you've got an extra day or two to spare, drop by TransAmerica Pyramid and Asian Art Museum of San Francisco too.
Plan a stop at Westin St Francis Hotel Glass Elevators. It's one sight you'll usually find on travelers' to-do lists. Union Square and San Francisco Magic Parlor are also close by and worth taking the time to see.
Grab your bucket list, because it's about to get a little longer. Once you've marked off the best sights in San Francisco, there's an iconic attraction not too far away. Stanford University needs no introduction. Located about 28 miles away in Palo Alto, your itinerary should include this must-do attraction.
No matter the weather forecast, you'll be able to get a glimpse of some of the stunning beaches near San Francisco from the comfort and freedom of your own rental car. When you get near the ocean, keep your eyes open for seagulls soaring over these dazzling stretches of coastline:

If you've never been to San Francisco, get set for a good time. With icons like University of California San Francisco and San Francisco State University, you'll be wondering why you didn't book your escape sooner. But like all major metropolises, getting behind the wheel can be a challenge — so why not choose a compact car or a mini? Parking is a piece of cake and handling is about as easy as it gets. Alternatively, if you plan to avoid the downtown area and marvel at the farther-flung sandy shores in San Mateo County, nothing beats a four-wheel drive or an SUV.
There's loads of choice when it comes to renting a car in San Francisco. From luxury models to agile compacts, you'll find it all here. Choosing your perfect match depends on how much you'd like to spend and what activities you plan on doing. There are some road trips that are just begging you to splurge on your dream ride, whereas other adventures don't need much more than an engine and four wheels. Which car will you be sliding behind the wheel of this trip?
