I'm going to San Francisco on holiday and I want to know the best way to travel around when I get there. Walk! San Francisco isn't a very big city and many of the interesting places are close together. There are lots of hills but just think how fit you will get! The buses are good but they do get very crowded. Don't even think about renting a car. The roads are difficult to drive on and it can take a long time to find a parking space because there are very few in the city. The underground, (or subway), is a great way to get around some parts of San Francisco, but it doesn't go to all the tourist areas. Walking along the waterfront is a good idea because there's so much to see, but you won't want to walk everywhere. San Francisco is a very hilly city! The famous cable cars, which are actually trams, are fun, but they cost too much to use all the time. Take the bus! There are bus stops on every corner, and if you miss one, there will be another one along soon. Walking is also a good way to get around, if you are fit enough. If you are planning to take trips outside the city, then renting a car might be a good idea, but parking spaces in the city are very expensive. The subway is good for getting to and from the airport.
