Things to Do in San Francisco in September
Bike across the Golden Gate Bridge
As the weather starts to warm up, visit one of the most iconic sites of San Francisco and the most photographed bridge in the world. Bike along the bridge for a fun way to explore, but make sure to ride between sunrise and sunset, as the biking portion closes after dark. Stop by Golden Gate Bridge Bike Rentals located near the bridge, where rentals start at $36 a day.
Go vintage shopping in Haight Ashbury
Littered with countless vintage clothing boutiques, record stores, and coffee shops, this area located in central San Francisco was the birthplace of hippie culture in the Bay. Once home to Janis Joplin and the Grateful Dead, Haight Ashbury is now a great place to spend the day shopping and marveling over the rich architecture the city has to offer.
