Sightseeing Highlights: San Francisco’s Icons in One Loop Ride

Tweet

Had an adventurous (and slightly exhausting) day exploring San Francisco via the Big Bus Tour. The journey started at Fisherman’s Wharf, then the route took us around the city’s famous spots—perfect for a quick overview without worrying about transport. One of the most exciting parts was crossing the Golden Gate Bridge. It was quite windy and chilly up there, but still fun and enjoyable! The view was stunning, and feeling the wind whip by as we rode across made it even more memorable. We also passed by the Palace of Fine Arts, which turned out to be one of the highlights of the trip. The place is absolutely picturesque from every angle—with its grand architecture, peaceful lagoon, and beautifully landscaped surroundings, it’s like stepping into a European postcard. Whether you’re taking a wide shot or just focusing on the details, every corner feels photo-worthy. (Photo taken at the Palace!) After the tour, we wrapped up the day right back at the Wharf and treated ourselves to some clam chowder in a sourdough bread bowl—a classic San Francisco comfort food! Warm, tasty, and perfect after a day out in the wind. Definitely a tiring but super enjoyable day. Has anyone else done this tour or visited the Palace of Fine Arts? Or tried the clam chowder at the Wharf? Would love to hear your thoughts!
