My husband and I are going to San Fran in May. We already plan to visit Napa Valley, Yosemite, Muir Woods, Golden Gate, Alcatraz, piers, and have a city tour on a troll car. What else is a must to see/do in/around San Fran.....

Actually you could do yourselves a favor and skip Napa Valley in favor of Sonoma Valley; the town of Sonoma is infinitely nicer than Napa and far less touristed. Great food. If it's not too far for you (a long day trip from SF), I strongly recommend going south to Monterey for a tour through the aquarium, and south of there is Pt. Lobos State Park, really stunning and magical. The town of Carmel is also charming. http://www.inn-california.com/centralcoast/MontereyCoast/pointlobos/pointlobos.html

Since you are going to Napa Valley, you have to do the Napa Valley Wine Train excursion. It was so much fun. You can do lunch or dinner. We did the lunch.
Here is the the website www.winetrain.com or call 1-800-427-4124
The website gives you all the info you need.
Don't forget to visit Sausilito. (sp?) adorable little town. It's across the Golden Gate bridge.
Have fun and Happy travels

Try going to Coit Tower (great views), Lombard Street, Ocean Beach, Beach Chalet for a meal just across the street from the beach, Golden Gate Park (new museum too), the shopping is great too! Mission street for the great food, Marin Headlands just across the Golden Gate Bridge, and try North Beach too...I think you would enjoy it. I hope this helps you out a bit. Enjoy your holiday!

You can catch Caltrain on Broadway & California Dr. just the other side of the 101 freeway about a 1/2 mile from your hotel. Take it to Bart at Mellbrea station Take Bart into the city. Or take Caltrain to the last stop (AT&T PARK) and catch the MUNI (N JUDITH) INBOUNT it will also take you in to the city. Want more info visit

You can take a ferry to Angel Island and walk around it or have a picnic.
