Whether it is your first time or your return to San Francisco, there is no shortage of things to do, places to eat, and sights to see in the city. To get you started, our Hubber-curated guide has a few suggestions for making the most of your time in SF.

What to pack 🎒

October has some of the best weather San Francisco ever has. Expect temperatures to be between 55 F (12 C) and 70 F (21 C). If the fog is in, it can be very cold and damp, and the wind off the sea is brisk.

Do bring: layers, including a light jacket.
Do not bring: beach wear (beach wear in San Francisco usually involves a sweater and a jacket). The ocean is very cold in Northern California, and there are extremely treacherous rip currents.
