Our Top 10 things to do in San Francisco.
"Neighborhood Passports and Judy's tips! highly recommend CityPass, for it's savings as well as convenience!"
The San Francisco CityPass concept is simple: A booklet contains actual admission tickets to San Francisco’s best attractions at almost 50% savings. That’s right, you pay only $54 (for a $98.45 value)! Attractions include, Blue & Gold Fleet Bay Cruise Adventure, Aquarium of the Bay, the de Young Museum and Legion of Honor, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and the option to visit either the Exploratorium or the Asian Art Museum.
A valid CityPass also entitles the bearer to SEVEN consecutive days of unlimited, FREE use of all Muni services. THE PASSPORT IS VALID ON ALL MUNI VEHICLES INCLUDING OUR CABLE CARS. Without CityPass, a single one-way ride on a Cable Car costs $5 and a single one-way ride on a Muni bus costs $1.50.
Your Personal Concierge to San Francisco
Well hello there and thank you for joining us here for our first edition of "Neighborhood Passports" — San Francisco Edition. My name is Judy and I will be your guide and personal concierge as you begin to discover my beautiful city.
So sit back, relax, have a martini (I hope you are of age!) and allow me to escort you on your journey. Along the way I hope to answer as many of your questions as possible using our Local Insiders Secrets, from my Concierge Desk!
Hearts in San Francisco was a Bay Area-wide "heart art installation" that debuted in the spring of 2004.
We love San Francisco!
It’s as simple as that and we want to share the “Locals Insiders Secrets” on how to get around, what to see, how to avoid most ticket lines and basically arm you with all the knowledge you need to enjoy a wonderful trip here in our beautiful city. The information on these pages of "Neighborhood Passport" will supply you with this and much much more. So hold on to your hats and glasses cause here's what you need to know.. Before you get here!
In my experience as Concierge and business owner living in San Francisco for over 15 years, I’ve seen it all. So many happy people to be in our beautiful city and at the same time, so many discouraged faces when I tell them the restaurant they were so looking forward to dining in again is long gone, or the tour or attraction they were so excited to experience was completely booked through the end of the month. Meeting all these discouraged travelers is what has given us at "Neighborhood Passports" the insight into informing people before they get here, and why It was so important for us to put together this web site.
So sit back, enjoy a glass of wine (or a martini!) and I will help you save time and money as we do all the research for you on your next vacation in my beautiful city, San Francisco!
