Free Things You Can Do in San Francisco

1. Art Galleries:

There are a lot of art galleries in San Francisco, many of which are free. New art shows are popping up all of the time too. Basically, San Francisco is an art lover paradise. Dedicate a day or two to touring some of the bigger art galleries and you will be pleasantly surprised at just how much fun you are having.

2. Golden Gate Bridge:

Walking across the Golden Gate Bridge is simply awe-inspiring. It is a pretty long walk through at 1.7 miles, particularly if you want to walk back too. If you head across the Golden Gate Bridge, make sure you dress up warm as it can be pretty cold near the middle of it. You will also wish to take a camera as you are almost certainly going to want to snap a few photographs.

3. Randall Museum:

If you have children in tow, this museum is somewhere that you are going to want to be. There are plenty of live animals on show, as well as a number of additional workshops which both adults and children alike can take part in. In addition to this, you will be able to enjoy some pretty decent views over the entirety of San Francisco, so even if you are not going to take part in any of the workshops happening in the Randall Museum, you still should make this place a ‘must visit’

4. Golden Gate Park:

This is, obviously, somewhere that you are only going to want to go if the weather is playing ball. There is a lot happening in the park, particularly at the weekends. I suggest that you look online before your trip to San Francisco to find out exactly what is happening in this fabulous area. You may, for example, be able to take part in free lawn bowling lessons, you may be able to watch a live music concert, or you may even be able to feast your eyes on a good Shakespeare play.

5. Pier 39:

Any time of the year is good for Pier 39. However, if you wish for the best experience, head here during January to July. 1,300 sea lions will be on full view.

6. Wave Organ:

I am going to cap off with this one, simply because the sounds it makes are brilliant. The sounds change throughout the day based upon the tied. In some cases, it can be very spooky, others, a bit more relaxing. There are a couple of restaurants nearby and it makes the perfect soundtrack to your meal! I suggest coming in during the later stages of the day if you wish to hear the best sounds.
