Best time to visit San Francisco?
A favorite destination for travelers to California, San Francisco is sure to seduce thanks to the many tourist attractions that add to its charm. Although the city is busy all year round, certain months are even better for visiting and enjoying its beauty.
Best season to visit San Francisco
In the U.S., the city of seven hills enjoys almost constant sunshine from April to September, and rain is rare, so this is the best time to enjoy its pleasant, temperate climate. The occasional fog in August and July, however, can be surprisingly mysterious. Mediterranean winters are fairly mild, with frequent rainfall, especially in November and December, while autumn, with its flamboyant colors, remains cool but comfortable. Spring and summer are the seasons of choice for sunny, but never too hot, days. Unlike Los Angeles or Las Vegas, San Francisco maintains good temperatures in January, February and March.
San Francisco's must-sees
A mini-cruise on San Francisco Bay will allow you to appreciate the city from another angle, and discover its historic port (Pier 39 and Fisherman's Wharf) with its sea lions as guests. You'll even pass under the famous Golden Gate Bridge, one of the world's most elegant bridges. Union Square, Chinatown and Market Street are San Francisco's must-sees. There's a wide choice of hotels available all year round. San Francisco also boasts a spectacular Palace of Fine Arts and an Exploratorium Museum of Science, guaranteed to fascinate young and old alike. A cable-car ride is a fun way to explore the city and its hills. Larger than New York's Central Park, Golden Gate Park is well worth a visit, if only to admire its Dutch windmills, museums, gardens and even buffalo! Sonoma Valley and Napa Valley, California's most famous wine-growing regions, are just 85 km from San Francisco.
Discover San Francisco through its festivities in all seasons
The city hosts popular events such as the Chinese New Year in mid-February, with its parade of dragons. In April, the Cherry Blossom Fest is a traditional Japanese festival full of color and flavor. In April and May, the International Film Festival is held. At the end of June, the famous Gay Pride Parade takes place, a parade of floats, eccentric costumes and music for the biggest homosexual celebration in the USA. From the beginning of May to the end of October, Yerba Buena Gardens organizes a major cultural festival featuring plays, music and dance performances, exhibitions, lectures and other free events. For a Munich-style celebration, head to Pier 48 in the third week of September for the Oktoberfest, where you can enjoy German cuisine and excellent beers to the sound of lively music.
As you can see, it's impossible to get bored in San Francisco!
