Know before you go: San Francisco 🌴
✨ The weather in San Francisco can be quite chilly and windy. So, pack a sweater and jacket to layer. ✨ Instead of getting a rental car and driving everywhere, the best way to get around the city is either by walking or taking the public transportation. Uber and taxi also work well here. ✨
