\"Golden<\/a><\/p>\n

With its temperate climate, laid-back atmosphere, and lively arts scene, San Francisco has something for almost everyone.<\/strong> From the swanky, upscale retail stores of Union Square to the vibrant, carnival ambiance of Fisherman’s Wharf to the organic, down-home feel of the farmer’s market at the Ferry Building, there’s a wide variety of things to see and do to suit the tastes of almost every kind of traveler. When I visited San Francisco in early September of 2010, I wanted to see and do everything. After six days of exploration, I still felt like I’d barely scratched the surface of this wonderful city. If you’re planning a trip to San Francisco soon, the following are seven great activities and attractions to enjoy solo. No travel partner required.<\/p>\n

Commune with Nature in Muir Woods<\/h2>\n

\"\"Muir Woods National Monument<\/a> isn\u2019t in San Francisco, but it\u2019s nearby\u00a0and well worth the trip.<\/strong> Accessible by bus or car within a 30-40 minute drive north, this colossal outdoor cathedral of redwood trees is best experienced in person. Prepare to be dwarfed by these silent giants, with many standing just shy of 300 feet tall.<\/p>\n

The National Park Service offers interpretive guided tours through the woods or you can get a map for a small donation and head out on your own. Linger in the Meditation Grove for some silence and solitude or, if you’re feeling more active, hike up to the Muir Beach Overlook or down to Muir Beach itself. After your hike, relax and grab a bite at the Muir Wood Trading Company Caf\u00e9 or peruse one of the two gift shops to purchase a memento of your visit.<\/p>\n

Amble Across the Golden Gate Bridge<\/h2>\n

There should be a law\u2014all visitors to San Francisco should walk the span of the Golden Gate Bridge<\/a> at least once.<\/strong> The bridge may seem unromantic, but its reputation as an iconic marvel of modern engineering is well-deserved. Roughly 1.7 miles (2.7 km) across, the Bridge is best enjoyed on a clear day, with lots of opportunities to meet both locals and visitors crossing on a bike or on foot. The bonus? Clear skies will grant you luminous, expansive vistas of the city of San Francisco to the south and\u00a0the golden hills of the Marin Headlands to the north.<\/p>\n

Hit Nightlife<\/em> at the California Academy of Sciences<\/h2>\n

Think A Night at the Museum<\/em> but much, much cooler. Drinks, a house DJ, and one of the most impressive planetarium shows I\u2019ve ever seen, Nightlife<\/em><\/a> is like a nightclub for the erudite.<\/strong> Held every Thursday night after hours, Nightlife<\/em> offers a fun way to spend an evening in San Francisco while getting a\u00a0dose of culture. Get the Nightlife<\/em> signature cocktail (vodka, cranberry, and champagne)\u00a0and chat up the nearest cutie. Or, dance the night away while discussing science and natural history in one of the most educational settings in San Francisco.\u00a0 Spend the night under the stars in the Morrison Planetarium or up on the Academy\u2019s Living Roof. Special planned group activities change from week to week and in the past have run the gamut from ballroom dance lessons to board games.<\/p>\n

Turn Back the Clock at Mission Dolores<\/h2>\n

\"\"Serenely tucked away in the Mission District, Mission Dolores<\/a> is the keeper of much of San Francisco\u2019s early history.<\/strong> Widely regarded as the oldest building in San Francisco, it survived the 1906 earthquake and subsequent fires intact.\u00a0There\u2019s a small graveyard attached, perfect for a quiet, meditative stroll. Visit the graves of some of the city\u2019s earliest founders\u00a0(Luis Antonia Arguello, the first Mexican governor of Alta California<\/em>, is interred here) and then view the ornate altars of the original mission building\u00a0and the neighboring basilica. A short stroll down the street towards the Castro District will take you to Maxfield\u2019s, a small caf\u00e9 with free wifi, big comfy chairs, an eclectic clientele, large windows, and great people watching.<\/p>\n

Grab a Cone at Bi-Rite Creamery<\/h2>\n

This small-batch artisanal ice cream shop<\/a> serves frozen delicacies well worth the wait.<\/strong> A favorite with locals and visitors alike, prepare yourself for the line that forms well before the store opens. However,\u00a0this minor inconvenience comes with a plus: plenty of time to chat with your fellow queue-mates to get in-the-know suggestions for your next meal or insider information on the local arts scene. Once you get inside the small storefront? Heaven! The salted caramel flavor comes highly recommended (best described as swarthy yet sweet) but if that doesn\u2019t get you salivating, there are myriad other options to satisfy your particular tastes. Think flavors like honey lavender, malted vanilla, toasted coconut, and brown sugar. Make no mistake\u2014Bi-Rite Creamery is the real<\/em> San Francisco treat.<\/p>\n

Sample Teas in Chinatown<\/h2>\n

\"\"After you\u2019ve spent a morning exploring Chinatown\u2019s thoroughfares and alleyways, relax and take a load off at one of the tea bars on Grant Avenue.<\/strong> The bars offer free tea tastings in the hope that you\u2019ll buy some of their product. A potentially costly proposition, but the experience you get in exchange is no shabby tradeoff. You\u2019ll learn the proper way to brew a cup of tea and learn about the many benefits of drinking each of the varieties of tea they offer. If you stop in at one of the Vital Tea Leaf<\/a> shops and you\u2019re really lucky, Uncle Gee might be mixing up your brew. The charismatic septuagenarian offers unique insights into the art and science of tea while spicing things up with his special brand of bawdy humor.<\/p>\n

Ride a Cable Car<\/h2>\n

Some might think of century-old cable-drawn carriages as a \u201ctouristy\u201d thing to do, but they’re an iconic part of San Francisco’s past you won’t want to miss.<\/strong> Take the Powell-Hyde line<\/a> from Union Square down to Fisherman\u2019s Wharf and stroll around Aquatic Park. Ghirardelli Square<\/a> is only a short walk away; filled with lots of small boutique shops and the requisite Ghirardelli chocolate shops, you can get some\u00a0retail therapy in while satisfying your chocolate fix. When boarding the cable cars, do everything in your power to secure a straphanger position\u2014and then hold on tight. There are few sensations as titillating as cruising up, over, and down San Francisco\u2019s famed hills as the cool bay breezes sweep past.<\/p>\n

While this list is by no means an exhaustive collection of cool things to do solo while in San Francisco, it provides a great place to start.<\/p>\n
