Sightseeing

The Palace of Fine Arts is a lovely sight to see. The architecture isn't the only draw. The lagoon is inhabited by Swans, Ducks n' Turtles. Adjacent to the Presidio and the waterfront at Crissy Field.

Baker Beach where the first burning man was held by SF artists is a neat place to go. One area is for clothing optional but not all of it. Most of it is for taking in the sights of the ocean and shore

Arts & Culture

This art deco movie house beats the others nearby for showing indie and cult films in addition to new movies. It's just a 5 min. bus ride up the hill. And see the Doubtfire house on the way.
