Things to Do in San Francisco for Couples

Golden Gate Bridge

• One of the most photographed bridges in the world, the Golden Gate Bridge is a true icon of San Francisco. The bridge spans more than 1.7 miles and connects San Francisco to the Marin headlands on the north. You may access the bridge by car, foot or bike. Biking across the bridge offers an enjoyable activity for couples. Several bicycle companies provide daily rentals. After biking across the bridge, you may stop in Sausalito for a bite to eat and either return by bike or take the Golden Gate ferry back across the bay.

San Francisco Museum of Modern Art

• Located south of Market Street, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art contains a comprehensive collection of contemporary and modern art. Works include photography, paintings, sculpture, mixed media and architecture. The museum features special exhibitions as well as offers a film series and educational workshops for the public.
