There are three lines of Big Bus in San Francisco, the red line, the blue line and the green line. The red line covers most of the popular places in San Francisco, the blue line is the night tour line, and the green line is the "Charming Town Special Line".
Red Line: San Francisco's Diverse Styles Atlas
Golden Gate Park
The world's largest artificial park, 20% larger than New York's Central Park, The style of Golden Gate Park is very inconsistent. Walking in the park, it seems that you are in Japan for a while and in Europe for a while. It turns out that this cosmic center park in San Francisco is "spliced" by more than a dozen small parks with different styles.
There are also three popular museums inside - California Academy of Sciences, Asian Art Museum and MH De Young Memorial Museum. As an art exhibition enthusiast, I would like to strongly recommend the Asian Art Museum to everyone. There are more than 15,000 art treasures from Asian countries and regions such as China, Japan, North Korea, and Indonesia.
Financial District
This is called the "Wall Street on the West Coast". The tall buildings and narrow streets make it feel a bit depressing to walk inside, but this is the rational temperament that the financial industry needs.
Financial districts all over the world look similar, but the Easter eggs of San Francisco's financial district are on the roof.
The roof of Salesforce Transit Center is a huge sky garden with winding paths and a circular concert hall. It creates a quiet space for busy San Francisco white-collar workers and tourists. Surrounded by more than 600 trees, it is a good place to decompress.
You can overlook the entire city from The View Lounge and be moved by the skyline at sunset.
Fisherman's Wharf
Fisherman's Wharf is the starting point of the big bus. It is also a good place to taste seafood, watch the sunset, and stroll around the streets in San Francisco. You can watch sea lions sleeping lazily at Pier 39 and eat the most famous Dungeness crabs here.
Golden Gate Bridge Crossing Trip
The Golden Gate Bridge, which has been played by various movies, is one of the facades of San Francisco. Instead of looking at it from afar, it is better to cross it.
After taking the big bus across the Golden Gate Bridge, you can reach the town of Sausalito. Next, take the Green Line to enjoy the town!
Green Line: Charming Town of Sausalito
Sausalito is a picturesque town across the San Francisco Bay. Looking around, there is the Pacific Ocean on one side and colorful houses on the hillside on the other side, which gives you a sense of déjà vu of "Italy's Cinque Terre".
The Green Line goes around the town, and the scenery on the bus itself is extremely beautiful. It will stop in downtown on the way. At this time, jump off the bus quickly to discover the cuteness of the town's street corners.
Sausalito Downtown
Although the town has only 7,600 people, it has 14 art galleries and is full of artistic atmosphere. It maintains a quiet atmosphere, which is very suitable for people who want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
The town will hold an art festival-Sausalito Art Festival, where various artists will come here to set up stalls to share their own interesting small objects, their own paintings, etc.
Blue Line: San Francisco Wonderful Night
The Blue Line is a night tour line in San Francisco, which circles the entire city center and then crosses the Bay Bridge to Treasure Island for "adventure".
Treasure Island
There is no gold and silver treasure, but there is a treasure night view. Looking at downtown San Francisco from Treasure Island, many people say that this perspective is perfect and the night view is great. Treasure Island is now a US military base. Originally, San Francisco Airport was to be built here, and finally the airport site was chosen to be San Mario. Here, there is a flea market on the last weekend of every month, and locals who love to eat and shop come here to relax.
Bay Bridge
Under the huge halo of the Golden Gate Bridge, most tourists don't know the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge (referred to as the Bay Bridge). It does not have the hot search physique of the Golden Gate Bridge, and can only show itself with "wideness" - currently the widest bridge in the world. Walking on the bridge and looking back at the scenery of the downtown Bay Area, it is easy to be amazed by the scene created by the lights and the bridge
If you want to know more about where Big Bus can go, you can go directly to the official website to check.
Big Bus ticket price:
One-day pass: $55.3 (discounted price after online purchase)
Two-day pass: $66.3 (discounted price after online purchase)
I personally recommend a two-day pass, one day for the city and one day for Sausalito.
Tips:
During rush hour, it is better to stay on the bus as the next bus may be late due to traffic jams.
San Francisco will be colder at night. In autumn and winter, it is recommended to sit on the lower floor at night if you are weak, and sit on the upper floor if you are not afraid of cold.
Conclusion
If you have a travel plan to the western United States, first, please do not forget to go to San Francisco; second, if you have enough time, please try to spare a few more days for San Francisco.
