San Francisco & Outside Lands

[Alex]

Kid in tow or adult fun?

No help on the musicy stuff. Plenty of good art museum and if you like to dive right into the local scenes plenty of dense gallery areas that can be cruised.

Most of the touristy stuff (Fisherman's Wharf, Presidio, Chinatown, etc.) is worth doing at least once (except maybe Fisherman's Wharf, I probably wouldn't point anybody in that direction until their second week in town; sooner if they really like sea lions).

If you like seeing local instead of tourist, I'd recommend one of the "walking San Francisco" books. Lots of good neighborhoods to just walk randomly and see what you see.
