Average temperature low and high: 47° - 58°
There are many reasons why San Francisco is considered one of the best cities in the world. The City by the Bay boasts mild winters, scenic hills, and regional culinary staples like Dungeness crabs and bread-bowl clam chowders. A day in San Francisco can range from lavish Broadway productions, concerts, and symphonies, to educational museums, naval yards, and science exhibits. And be sure to check out SF Restaurant Week and the Bay Area Brew Fest if you consider yourself a "foodie." January is also an excellent time for hiking thanks to the cooler weather and smaller crowds at tourist attractions. Check this page often for more SF events.
