See what San Francisco has to offer and make your trip to SugarCon not just about business but also pleasure.
Walking or biking across the bridge is a bucket-list must-do for locals and visitors alike. From the east side walkway, you can take in the soaring 746-foot towers, the city skyline, the Marin Headlands and the Pacific Ocean stretching to the horizon. The most photographed bridge in the world, the Golden Gate never fails to thrill—even when it’s shrouded in a blanket of fog.
A few dollars can buy you a slow rollercoaster ride on an officially designated historic landmark. San Francisco's cable cars are a relic of the pre-automotive age, built to scale the precipitous slopes that were too steep for horses. Three cable car lines leave from Union Square and the end of California Street, traveling at top speeds of 9 mph through Chinatown, Nob Hill, and Russian Hill to Fisherman's Wharf. For extra thrills, hang off on the running boards and ride Doris Day–style. You may even get a bell-ringing serenade from the conductor.
On Sundays from April through October, the food truck gathering known as Off the Grid offers Picnic at the Presidio, with dozens of food vendors, free lawn games, live music and a "bubble bar" on the expansive lawn of the Presidio's Main Post, overlooking the Golden Gate. On Thursday nights from April through October, Twilight at the Presidio is a food truck "campout" with lantern-lit dining cabanas, cocktail service, Adirondack chairs, music, and s'more fire pits. Additional Off the Grid gatherings all over the city feature food and entertainment year-round.
The formidable fortress in the middle of San Francisco Bay known as "The Rock" was once a maximum-security prison that housed notorious inmates such as Al Capone, George "Machine Gun" Kelly and Robert "the Birdman" Stroud. Haunting at any time of day, the very popular night tour adds an extra layer of chill—, especially on creepy, foggy evenings. For the full effect, get the audio cellhouse tour narrated by former inmates and guards, which recounts harrowing tales of prison life, including the numerous tragic attempts at escape.
