San Francisco needs 3 days: the Golden Gate and Fisherman's Wharf on one, Alcatraz (book ahead) on another, and the Haight-Ashbury and Mission districts on the third. September-November brings the most stable weather, since summer brings constant fog (the famous «Karl»). It's one of the most expensive cities in the US, reflecting the tech boom of nearby Silicon Valley. Its Golden Gate Bridge, completed in 1937, remains one of the world's most photographed suspension bridges, and its steep streets with historic cable cars are unique in the country.
