THE LITTLE PITCH
A city-and-coast weekend stitched together by transit: Presidio trails, salt air, bridge views and a very good excuse to linger.
Settle into a central hotel, then let Muni and PresidiGo connect the waterfront with the Golden Gate. This is the easiest park-forward option without pricing a rental car.
THREE DAYS, A LITTLE MORE MAGIC
A weekend to remember.
01—03
Saturday · the Presidio
Use current weekend transit to reach Crissy Field, Tunnel Tops and Fort Point. Follow coastal paths for bridge views; keep a warm layer for wind and fog.
Sunday · one last look
Breakfast near the hotel, then head to SFO for the 10:27 AM flight. Build in airport-transfer time; local transit costs are outside the subtotal.
