San Francisco - Use Attraction Passes To Save Money And See San Francisco
By Steven Skelley and Thomas Routzong
We could visit San Francisco again and again. It is truly one wonder after another. From the iconic Golden Gate Bridge to Alcatraz to the cable cars to the Castro District to Chinatown to the Palace of Fine Arts to Nob Hill to Lombard Street to Fishermen’s wharf, San Francisco is a delight to explore.
There is so much to see and do, it is always nice to find a deal that will save some cash and make your adventures easier.
San Francisco Travel (SFtravel) offers the following advice about using attraction passes to see San Francisco:
San Francisco is home to a wide variety of attractions and activities, which can sometimes make it hard to decide what to see in a single trip. With an attraction pass such as CityPASS or Go Card, choices are made easier by pre-paying entry to a select list of options.
CityPASS
For one fee, CityPASS provides one-time entry to four main attractions in the city, plus three-day unlimited cable car and Muni rides. Benefits include:
The San Francisco CityPASS can be purchased at www.citypass.com or any of the participating attractions.
Go Card
The Go San Francisco Card offers a variety of multi-day and option package passes. Go Card partners with more than 25 attractions and activities, including top favorites like the De Young Museum and SFMOMA, unique options off the beaten path like an AT&T Park Tour or the San Francisco Dungeon, and beyond destination tours to Muir Woods and wine country.
