Beyond visiting the most important sights, Leslie encourages you to experience the daily life in San Francisco. Her advice? "Wander around aimlessly, enjoy getting lost and finding surprises along the way. Take in the views from the hilltops. Unwind at the local coffee shops. Savor the diverse culinary options and peruse the local food markets. And most of all, chat with the locals. Each offers a unique perspective and they’re happy to provide additional suggestions on things to see and do in the city."
