San Francisco
Autumn is your best bet for a trek to San Francisco, as this northern California city’s warm weather and sunny skies only officially debut in September, at the start of what locals call their “Indian summer,” a delightful season that unfolds through early November each year. Whereas summer can often be chilly, with foggy days, and downright bone-chilling nights, fall brings pleasant sun-filled days, mild nights, and rare rainfall – great conditions for enjoying a stroll on the café-lined streets of North Beach, browsing the groovy shops in Haight-Ashbury, or ogling sun-bathing sea lions down by Pier 39. For those who want a view of the iconic Golden Gate Bridge in all of its glory, fall offers one of the few times of year when the famous Bay fog actually lifts off the bridge – yet another reason to prioritize a visit for this time of year.
