Walk right in, through the lobby & down the hall at the back, into the newer part of the hotel. You'll come to a bend, & there will be elevators on your right stretching along the wall away from you. Take one & hit the top button. After a few floors, they come OUT of the building & go along the outside of the new tower, giving nice views of The City.Warning: Do not do this with someone afraid of heights without first letting them know what to expect -- not that I've ever done that. (Well, not on purpose anyway. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /> )Second MoMA. Be sure to cross the catwalk at the top -- it's kind of see-through & looks down 4 stories to the lobby below like you're walking on mist. See previous warning.Second the cable car line mentioned -- & especially after dark, when you'll come down into the Union Square area with all of the lights.Have a drink (soda even) at the Crown Room bar at the top of the Fairmont hotel. It sits atop Nob Hill, survived the '09 quake & fire, & the view is unbelievable. On a foggy night, you'll see the skyscrapers & hills of The City rising from the fog like islands in a sea of mist. All cable car lines take you right past, so it's easy to combine with a nighttime ride.Golden Gate Park: there's actually enough to do just in the park to spend your entire vacation here. Highlights I'd recommend are the Conservatory of Flowers (a Victorian-era hothouse only recently reopened after millions of dollars of damage in a big storm in '97) & the Tea Garden (it's touristy, but it is nice).</blockquote>
