When is the best time to visit San Francisco?

So my first cousin, Teddy, is going through… some things. He’s had a tough go of it lately, and he told me that he’s dying to visit San Francisco, as he’s never been. He’s also convinced that Jerry Garcia is very much alive… But forget about that—what’s the best time to visit San Francisco?

Well, it’s sure nice of you to be concerned about your cousin!
The best time to visit
San Francisco
is from September through November, when the weather is most enjoyable and the crowds are thinner!
In terms of the aforementioned Jerry Garcia, we here at Jerry (no relation) did about a second’s worth of research to determine that the late leader of the venerable Grateful Dead is very much dead, having passed away in 1995. But if Teddy is a fan, you’ll want to take him to Haight Ashbury, the famous—and admittedly, heavily touristed—neighborhood at the center of San Francisco’s hippie and counterculture scene in the 1960s and ‘70s.
It’s very different than it was back then, but it’s still a sight to see.
As for other San Francisco highlights, there are plenty, such as the awe-inspiring Golden Gate Bridge and the edible garden of delight that is the Ferry Building and its food hall. Be sure to take Teddy to visit the seals that hang out at Pier 39, too. These absolutely hilarious animals are sure to take Teddy’s mind off of whatever is bothering him.
Whether you’re road-tripping to San Francisco or flying and renting a car when you get there, be sure to protect your vehicle with a robust
