Well, with all these "Going to Singapore" blogs lately, I decided to buck the trend a little! Long story short, I will flying from Singapore to US to study for 4 years (undergrad). I haven't been to US EVER, so its my first time in US and away from home for a good one year(at least). Really a Robinson Crusoe moment for me (my parents are not accompanying me on the plane trip, I almost ended up going solo but i am flying with 2 buddies now so its better)

Main point of this blog - I have a 10-hour stopover in San Francisco Airport (SFO) so I need some tips on how to spend the time well! Probably some locations around the airport area would be good, all suggestions welcome! Thanks!

Well actually it depends on your hobbies since certain people don't really like site attractions. Explain more of yourself because SF is pretty much filled with almost anything you can imagine.

Lol, well when i was in SF i spent quite a number of days visiting the fisherman's wharf, redwood forests and the Monterary(?) Bay aquarium. those places are pretty worth checking out for a S'pore dude. Amazing chowder at the wharf XD.

Site-seeing is a popular choice; the Golden Gate Bridge is spectacular, SF has some other attractions. I guess I would personally recommend Ghirardelli square; the food is delicious. I guess you could go drive and see Stanford University, but IMO it's really not worth it.

San Francisco has definitely lost some of its glamor as a tourist spot.

Yea, if you have a car those are all worth checking out.

You can walk around SF a lot, just take a taxi and then tell them to take you somewhere like the piers.

Coit tower gives you a good view of the entire city and you can pass through little italy, and china town.

The ggb is a must see though.

edit: he has 10 hours so redwood isn't going to cut it. Fisherman's Wharf and Golden Gate Bridge are probably the best.

Mhhh I don't know how far these are from the airport, but Golden Gate Bridge, Fisherman's Wharf, Alcatraz are worth checking out.

Also, so that you can plan ahead, it's a good 15-30 minutes, depending on the mode of transportation you choose (taxi being fastest i think, BART lightrail being second, and bus being slowest) from SFO to SF. I donno what you're into, but I'd say, Fisherman's Wharf is definitely a popular place. If you like shopping, I also suggest the Union Square area, which has a ton of stores in like a 2-3 block radius.

Definitely take BART to get around parts of the city where you can. You should check out Chinatown, it's pretty awesome. Golden Gate is overrated, it's just a bridge, and you probably don't have time for Alcatraz.
If you wanna shop, go to Union Square.
If you wanna see some art, check out the Museum of Modern Art.
Maybe go to Pier 39, a very tourist friendly place.
Golden Gate National Park is nice too.
Japantown is fun too, although a bit small. Chinatown is bigger and way better imo.


have fun! SF is the BOMB! =)

You should go to Fisherman's Wharf and eat CLAM CHOWDER.

Pretty much essential advice right there...do that if you do nothing else.

SF is a very nice place with amazing weather I don't think there's anything interesting around the airport though =\

Yeah go to fishermans wharf. There a bunch of cool things to look at if you have never been to SF. Take BART (bay areas version of a subway) from the airport to the city and walk around.
