Find San Francisco Holiday Rentals

Blockbuster attractions and uber-cool neighbourhoods abound in San Francisco

From the bohemian reaches of the cosmopolitan Mission District to the languid cocktail bars that welcome all comers in Bernal Heights, not to mention the iconic outline of the crimson-hued Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco is a city that dazzles all the senses wherever you happen to go. This is the proud lynchpin of the Bay Area and the gateway to the scenic Big Sur and the valleys of Napa and Silicon – one synonymous with brave New World wine, the other with trailblazing tech. It's also got world-class museums aplenty, a famously immersive Chinatown, ornate Victorian architecture and carnival celebrations to inspire and captivate. San Francisco holiday apartments are your ticket to the city that is as free-thinking today as its 60s heyday.

Top things to do in San Francisco

Days in San Fran can either be action packed or long and lazy. You can forge itineraries which delve into the haunting cells of Alcatraz before taking you up to the elegant rowhouses of Nob Hill and past the vibrant, urban artworks of Balmy Alley. You can hop between the bars of the Mission District sipping craft brews and attending slam poetry recitals, or go shopping in the local markets for Napa wines and Cali veg. Or, you can do things to help you relax and unwind, with jaunts along the bison-spotted fields of Golden Gate Park, where the great bridge looms overhead and Japanese Zen gardens beckon between the picnic spots.

Getting around in San Francisco

Rattling up and down the hills of San Francisco on the handsome historic streetcar network is one of the best ways to explore the central area, not to mention something of an attraction in itself. Some of the carriages were transported straight over the Atlantic from European cities like Milan, imbuing them with a truly authentic and romantic feel. Alternatively, there's the efficient light rail system, or the BART network, which connects out to towns in the greater Bay Area. Hiring a car is a great idea if you're looking to break away from your holiday rentals in San Francisco to see the legendary Big Sur, or hit the wineries of the Napa Valley to the north.
