Golden Gate Bridge? Fisherman\u2019s Wharf? Alcatraz? Of course! But we know that there\u2019s a part of you that wants to see the real city, a part of you that yearns for the less touristy, more off the beaten track experiences that makes the city so unique. Well, you\u2019re in luck, as I just so happen to have some tips for you\u2026<\/p>\n<div class=\"article\">\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>1. Fleishhacker Pool Ruins<\/b><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7292 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/1_u5sJogj.jpg\" alt=\"1_u5sJogj\" width=\"535\" height=\"355\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Okay why not hit the ground running with the incredible Fleishhacker Pool. It was once a gigantic saltwater pool, capable of hosting up to 10,000 people! Nowadays it\u2019s actually defunct after having been destroyed by fire, and it is found beneath the parking lot of San Francisco Zoo. It\u2019s a cool and eerie spot, perfect for anyone trying to get off the beaten track.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>2. Off the Grid Friday Food Night<\/b><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7293 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/2_JWRvx5b.jpg\" alt=\"2_JWRvx5b\" width=\"535\" height=\"328\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Fort Mason (part of the Marina district) shuts down every Friday night, as food trucks from all over the city collaborate to throw a delicious party, complete with music and brewery! Yummy food is represented from all over the world, and it\u2019s a great way to experience local life in San Francisco without relying on the traditional chain restaurants.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>3. Thursdays at the Academy of Sciences<\/b><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Music? Check. Dance? Check. Film? Check. Art? Check. Affordable? Check. I could go on, believe me. Each Thursday evening the Academy of Sciences in Golden Gate Park throws a celebration of the arts. It\u2019s always a blast, and of course includes some tasty food and drink.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>4. Secret Stairs<\/b><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7294 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/3_Au7V1GS.jpg\" alt=\"3_Au7V1GS\" width=\"535\" height=\"401\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">You probably already know that San Francisco is a city famous for its hills and high lookouts. Well rather than get a tram or taxi to these views, why not explore some of the hidden staircases and the quirky gardens that surround them? Among the most popular are the Filbert steps, but we can\u2019t tell you where all the SECRET stairs are &#8211; now that would be cheating!<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>5. Musee Mecanique<\/b><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7295 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/4_r9TjfTD.jpg\" alt=\"4_r9TjfTD\" width=\"535\" height=\"355\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">This one falls into the \u201cweird and wonderful\u201d category! Mus\u00e9e M\u00e9canique is the world\u2019s largest private collection of mechanical entertainment. The hundreds of musical instruments, arcade machines and toys from yesteryear are fascinating and a little haunting. This is definitely not your typical cookie cutter museum!<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>6. Brainwash<\/b><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7296 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/5_GRi2Kbt.jpg\" alt=\"5_GRi2Kbt\" width=\"535\" height=\"357\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Ever been in one of those situations where you\u2019re out at a laundromat doing a load of dirty clothes, when you suddenly have a hankering for a delicious burger or a refreshing ice cream? I think we\u2019ve all been there \ud83d\ude09 Luckily, now you don\u2019t have to abandon your laundry, because at Brainwash you can do both simultaneously! And that\u2019s not all! Of COURSE they host musical and comedy performances there also, because why not?!<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>7. Banned Toy Museum<\/b><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Yes I know it\u2019s another museum, but seriously this one is seriously unique. Any time a toy has been banned from the market from safety concerns or because they were offensive in some way, they have ended up in this quirky collection! Check it out for a mega dose of nostalgia.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>8. Street Art<\/b><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7297 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/6_xZets2U.jpg\" alt=\"6_xZets2U\" width=\"535\" height=\"357\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">How could we not talk about the impressive street Art in San Francisco?! It\u2019s largely prevalent in the Mission district, and so we strongly recommend going for a tour of the area and taking in the stunning murals.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>9. Jack Early Park<\/b><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7298 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/7_6GyRMUr.jpg\" alt=\"7_6GyRMUr\" width=\"535\" height=\"713\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">I bet Jack Early Park is top of your to do list when visiting San Francisco right? Well in reality it\u2019s probably not, but it should be close! This tiny little patch of heaven is the smallest park in the city. While its small stature means it flies below the radar of most travellers, luckily YOU are not most travellers! Go check it out.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>10. The Views<\/b><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7299 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/8_fUdOgs8.jpg\" alt=\"8_fUdOgs8\" width=\"535\" height=\"338\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">There are so many incredible views in this city. Of course everyone loves the Golden Gate Bridge, and rightly so. But there are some other incredible high spots that will definitely capture the attention of your Instagram followers. Twin Peaks Summit, Bernal Heights Park, Cliff House\u2026 the list goes on and on.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">To maximize your experience make sure you take a second to check out the awesome <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/hostels\/San-Francisco\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\">hostels<\/a>\u00a0in San Francisco!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><em>Colin R. <\/em><em>is a member of the Hostelworld Social &amp; Content team, singer\/guitarist of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/theempirekings\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\">Empire Kings<\/a> and fanatical sports nerd.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><em>Special thanks to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/mikebehnken\/5114375034\/in\/photolist-8MWvvU-eSEQn4-5BMkjL-8Ehtzw-dGu7XY-B3suD-8H6syg-8BnorM-2Wx1sb-96SmAa-xC4hrP-HGJd3-2PifAz-fH2BUH-4aCPHh-2UWhVJ-9Kiqw1-jHXJpJ-hywSZu-71vhoa-teGjA-3JH8Zw-7itZvL-fdF838-aqcFC-uNQbrv-AA1PfB-bUA9QX-dpNFKA-4qEN7Y-atrVSQ-fHHXWR-8DxePF-dX2C91-8MWaGb-pV3nZd-4jQwbh-8Yc3st-isMZQ-aQdhZ-fc24i3-ed6kDh-syMTB-rsN7Ft-aXjmcg-sjHwER-e5kcT2-48sTAH-9QFN7h-d4iPrh\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\">Mike Behnken<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/mtarlock\/5441919013\/in\/photolist-4PziUN-J6tde-98TV61-98TUCo-9imvfA-9iioen-9imyVj-9hTgst-9hTg92-9hTfVT-cTH3K7-48QtpG-8qJfNF-nQJv1v\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\">Marc Tarlock<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/familyclan\/14560173827\/in\/photolist-obCGpM-9Bo4T3-9Bo4YA-9Bo54s-9BkaHV-9Bo52s-9eUsVR-yaWPJu-o5wASf-jEbnxd-9eUsTT-9eXzYq-9eUsRp-o3Exyx-b2dVpn-9nDRDz-o5rNQ6-nLbhn5-fjH3gu-fjH4dw-fjH4Vq-9j32uT-4jDrGd-4jDrML-ix52Mm-4jzpgn-omzhws-omPmpG-4jzpfi-mwD7St-ymvkjP-9tzrhV-oL9UjB-mwETMq-8Vdh3T-fFacwr-p651cg-a26ETv-fFacDD-xoVc6K-bRusNz-aA7Kcd-ajJk4y-omW8mC-krpv12-krqp6x-krrCvs-krpBdT-rbNn6d-krpxFc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\">David McSpadden<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/philliecasablanca\/2579306726\/in\/photolist-5eztL8-oGqpfD-oJ2x5q-4VVC2C-75h4Ys-75h4XU-75dcC8-75dcDg-75dcDH-75h4X7-75h4WC-75dcCH-69UZLh\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\">Phil Whitehouse<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/tomhilton\/8608199496\/in\/photolist-e7FgNG-e7zyr2-e7Fj45-e7zwpT-e7Fqf7-e7zuJR-e7FerN-e7zGtr-gheo6-dRU3ji-7Fb3pT-7Fb3i8-dRU1vB-5Jamyn-cPYX85-p7VhnM-7FeVJb-BukAH-bMAb4X-6MfVEn-e7zEqn-8zech1-8zb5W6-4CPNXd-8zb6Vr-8zec2E-8zb5D4-8zb5h6-8zefAN-8zefgW-8zb4V6-8zb6xR-8zecxu-8zb6ci-4CPP1Y-dRU1bp-pw7RqH-8NRgkB-peCCdz-pMeG84-p7ShJA-q2yLks-q4uu1K-pMeGde-q4E6L8-q4N7G7-pMeFwV-q4N7s9-q4utoH-pMjJjE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\">Tom Hilton<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/smazurov\/3676216186\/in\/photolist-9wJk5v-dXN1JJ-6ARyZG-9p1auB-9p4ezQ-6oz72e-9SddZ-9SddY-oHMSn8-6AMq1r-6Bprdy-tUDv6V-6FLRcg-6ARzny-6AMqq8-6ozjez-9g71eM-6FLYKi-9ga8kJ-6wrh3S-9evg5h-aAGLH9-9FfzmQ-9erJ2t\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\">Stepan Mazurov<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/orinrobertjohn\/2723287089\/in\/photolist-59DynF-jWx5L-chsnfh-84kBze-81eGfN-81eGXJ-mCcjB-wZprz-nfBLq8-5ezWPi-6cQ9jD-8XJqec-6cQ9jP-cJQTbN-81eHnA-59FbMa-8z3ecq-kZ3xEj-9yFrrp-eJkbkP-oiNog-cKHorA-9DHWKY-cbCnPQ-uzq3P-7RxgXy-5yZMVw-81rLoZ-6i8Vd5-9yJs8m-9yFrCV-9yFrfX-9yJshN-9yJs1Y-9yFrkv-9yJsm5-9yJsbm-9yJrWy-9yFrmT-84kCie-5dsN8p-7WCRTX-69vDXA-89prYn-bUgewB-6nfEA-9FQnxL-9rrRbN-n8x1m-8jVQUK\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\">Orin Zebest<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/vhines200\/15052630292\/in\/photolist-oW9Eyu-ou2khS-7RpZf9-oJ2x5q-xHo8W7-yDrB8u-m8Yc4T-yC66Qm-xHo9TN-xHod2w-ynMKEU-pdpBA8-dTdd8T-hMaUSd-vYr4Gc-vHDKuK-bW9XRe-iNpH9k-by1duJ-bKoNye-p6w9DC-4XDVXF-uLgwZS-c2sBiL-potZk6-bLUVWp-cHBAN-roCJtM-7hXjpC-vHDgfD-uLqcRH-vGFL81-vEYzNf-vGFZem-vqEBWq-vHh1JF-bLUXei-by1fVw-7mLDEh-by1hX7-8cKPVi-voj7dm-c2sAiL-7aX3UP-nybYet-7NTkVh-7NTjAE-5AEc64-7NTgey-5BYsA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\">vhines200<\/a> for their amazing Flickr pictures!<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So you\u2019re in San Francisco and what do you do?
