1. San Francisco is a city that has a European footprint, with scarce and expensive parking, and efficient and affordable public transport. So, it is possible to travel around the city by bus, cable car, metro or bicycle, also having the option of Uber and Lyft.
2. The city has two cards, with which you can buy tickets for all the attractions you want for your trip. For more information, visit the GoCity website or CityPass.
3. Union Square is the starting point for two differents cable car lines, the Powell-Mason and Powell-Hyde (both terminate at different locations on Fisherman’s Wharf).
4. The line at the cable-car’s starting point is usually long, so to escape it, go up a few blocks.
5. Union Square is also a stop for the red tourist buses that go around the city.
6. If you don’t want to use GPS around San Francisco, you can find maps of the city in stores, restaurants and hotels. On the maps, the main tourist spots and even the subway, bus and cable car lines are marked.
