You got a lot of great suggestions in town. If you have 5 days I’d also suggest you get out of town a little bit. I’d rent a car and take a day trip to Carmel/Monteray and drive the shore drive … and in one direction stop in Santa Cruz … it is absolutely beautiful!

I highly recomment the Alcatraz tour … it is much-much more interesting than I expected (rent Escape from Alcatraz when you get home!). There is a ferry ride to Alcatraz and I’d suggest making the return trip at night … the ferry provides a breathtaking nightime view of the skyline!

I’m not sure if anyone mentioned this … but please walk/drive Lombard Street (http://www.reliablerides.com/images/lombard%20street.jpeg) … and riding the cable cars is a must (the cable car museum is pretty good also).

PS - San Franciscio is my absolute favorite city to visit in the US … I live in Boston and would travel to SF for a day visit at any time!
