Things To Do In San Fran?

I'm going up to Frisco at the end of the month for 5 days. I'm gonna go see the Raiders Charger game on the 30th but have nothing else to do. Any suggestions on maybe site seeing or something interesting other than the Golden Gate Bridge???? Oh and I'm not taking the G, to many miles to drive up there in it.

Last time I visited SF which was 3-4 yrs ago, I stopped by the Palace of Fine Arts. I have a serious knack on art museums, and this is one of the finest examples of outdoor art. I also liked the Chinatown there, very clean compared to most other C-towns in the US. Finally you can't miss walking along the EMB (Embarcadero). There are many interesting shops, stores, people and entertainment to check out, as well as good seafood to chomp on

Check out the Fisherman Wharf

After dinner, check out the Hyatt Regency Hotel (lobby) on the Embarcaderro St.

Last time I went, they had:
- a huge Christmas tree
- a miniature Christmas
and don't forget to take the glass elevator to top floor to Equinox restaurant for a cocktail drink and enjoy the 360 degrees fabulous view of San Francisco.

Visit Little Darlings off of Broadway if you want something to look at... Go towards the TL if looking isn't enough for you. Otherwise, hit up the bars and clubs like normal people here do...

All joking aside,

IMO, Fisherman's Warf is too crowded with tourists and is only good for the Hooters and I don't think the girls there look that good either. But since you're not from around the bay, then you might have fun there. Visit Little Italy if you're heading into Chinatown... lots of great food out there too.

They have this Da Vinci exhibit at the Metreon. I haven't been to it, but it looked interesting.

Da Vinci: An Exhibition of Genius

Where: The Metreon (101 4th Street), which last year was host to Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition.

Entry prices: Adult $19.50

What: An exhibition focused on the genius of Leonardo Da Vinci, who during his lifetime, was "an inventor, painter, scientist, engineer, sculptor, anatomist, bioloist, musician, architect, philosopher..." Just your typical Renaissance Man, only not. Only more!

Inventions, paintings and more: Reproductions of Da Vinci's machines, paintings, and manuscripts comprise this exclusvie exhibtion. Highlights include 3D plasma presentations of "The Last Supper," the "Vitruvian Man" and "Sforza Horse".

San Francisco: The first North American venue. It's previously shown in Rome, Moscow, Melbourne, Rio, San Gimignano, and San Paulo
