Experience SF Like a Pro

With a variety of neighborhoods—Chinatown, North Beach, the Presidio, just to name a few—there’s truly something for everyone in San Francisco. From where you stay and where you eat, to the museums and landmarks you visit, every moment of a vacation in San Francisco is unforgettable. Ideally, you can plan your trip so that you have several days before or after your procedure to take in all that the city has to offer.

If you’re traveling to San Francisco, take a few friendly tips from us: First, don’t call it “Frisco” or “San Fran”—unless you want to be pegged for a tourist. Try “SF” or “The City” if you want to blend in with the locals. And take a look at the rest of our recommendations if you want to get the most out of your stay in our City by the Bay.
