Not sure if this reply will work, but I am from the Bay Area. In San Francisco, I recommend taking in a baseball game (The Giants) and then walking up to Pier 39 to see the seals and other aquatic life. You’ll be able to see the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz Island from there. There really is so much to do! Taking a tour of Alcatraz is super interesting, Lombard Street (the curvy street), Boudin Sourdough Factory, Ghiradeli Chocolate Factory, walking the street of China Town…there is a lot to see and do! I would avoid some areas like the Tenderloin and the homeless encampments as things are bad there. But I just went downtown with my kids last week to watch a baseball game and walked to Pier 39. All was fine. I would not rent a car or take the Bart Train—getting transportation like Lyft or Uber is way better/safer.
This is a gross map--it is literally the "poop map" of San Francisco. The reason I am sharing it is it gives you a visual picture of where to avoid within San Francisco.
OMG Gunnar! Yesterday I had a walk in Castro and I was already surprised by the number of homeless and today I see in the map that this area is one of the least covered with poop😩

Hola, Gunnar.
¡Muy buenas recomendaciones! Specially the Ghiradeli Chocolate Factory! I'll also take the Bart Train!
Thank you!
Best,
Irene
Perfecto. For clarification, I would NOT take the Bart train as I don’t think it is very safe. I WOULD use Lyft or Uber
oh! thanks for letting me know! I've read about the homeless problem and I know the areas I have to avoid. Now I also knot what train to avoid!😃

Oh no, I am so sorry for being a day late and a dollar short! I should have sent it earlier, but I was afraid that I'd scare you.
