It must be the best time of year when we finally get to live like its spring! San Francisco is a beautiful city, but spring is an especially magnificent time to be here. The days are clear more often than not. The weather is mild and quite pleasant with temperatures in the 60’s. The big tourist crowds of the summer have not yet arrived so navigating the city is quite pleasant. And so, with spring nearly here, we give you Hotel VIA’s top 5 reasons (in no particular order) to visit San Francisco this spring.
With clear skies and temperate weather, hiking in and around San Francisco is a major reason to visit. Hike for Nature, hike for City Views, hike for History. The Lands End hike includes all of the above. The Filbert Steps to Coit Tower offers views that are well worth the thigh burn to get there. Twin Peaks, Batteries to Bluff Trail, Point Bonita Lighthouse…the list is endless. Spring is the perfect time to go take a hike!
San Francisco is well known for its food scene. From food trucks to Michelin starred restaurants to every kind of ethnic culinary experience possible, the food is here and it’s amazing. Sometimes, however, eating your way through San Francisco can also be pricey. Spring in San Francisco means Restaurant Week! During this special week, San Francisco’s restaurants make food tasting abundant and affordable. It happens every spring!
Get out on the Bay and explore the area with Ferry rides to some really cool places. From the Ferry Building, which is a destination that should not be missed, hop on a Ferry to Sausalito. The ride across the Bay offers amazing views and the destination is a beautiful and quaint city worth exploring for shopping and dining. Or get the Ferry to Angel Island and take a hike to the top of the Island for 360 views of the beautiful Bay Area. Or take the Ferry to Treasure Island and go whiskey tasting at the Gold Bar distillery. The views of San Francisco from the middle of the Bay are a must see!
Flowers are at their most gorgeous in Golden Gate Park in the springtime. Visit the Japanese Tea Garden and be surrounded by the beautiful blooms. Also in the park is the Queen Wilhelmina Tulip Garden. So stunning in the spring. And the Golden Gate Bridge? If you’re visiting the Golden Gate Park, you’re in the neighborhood of the bridge and spring is the perfect time for a bike ride or a walk across the Golden Gate Bridge. Indulge in some of the most stunning views in the world in the most leisurely way possible!
This is the reason for many who wait all year for spring! Baseball is back! And every spring, hope is the name of the game. The Giants opener is at home at Oracle Park against the Yankees on March 25th, five days after the first day of Spring. Is there anything more that needs to be said about this. Spring is here! Baseball is back! End of story!
