Holiday Inn San Francisco Airport North is close to the Golden Gate Bridge
and other San Francisco landmarks like Fisherman’s Wharf, Chinatown and
Ghirardelli Square.
Lombard Street
There is one section of Lombard Street in San Francisco that has to be seen
to be believed. Located not far from Fisherman’s Wharf, this steep, wildly
curved portion has become known as the “crookedest street in the world.” It
continues in both directions, going all the way east up Telegraph Hill to
Coit Tower and continuing west down through the Marina District, where it
becomes the main artery to Golden Gate Bridge. For more information, visit

Ghirardelli Square
Drenched in tradition and history, Ghirardelli Square is one of San
Francisco’s most treasured landmarks. It has a rich history—not unlike the
chocolates that bear its name—and today it is home to some of the finest
views, galleries, boutiques, culinary treats and special events that San
Francisco has to offer. For more information, visit

Muir Woods
Only a few miles north of San Francisco, just across the Golden Gate Bridge
in Mill Valley, you can stroll through 1000-year-old redwoods that reach
260-feet into the air. Muir Woods is the ancient coast redwood forest named
for famed naturalist John Muir. For more information, visit

San Francisco Zoo
The San Francisco Zoo houses 250 species and includes a petting zoo,
miniature train and carousel for kids of all ages. New to the zoo is the
spacious African Savanna exhibit, which features giraffes, zebras, kudus,
ostriches and other African wildlife roaming together in a lush, three-acre
habitat. This dramatic, mixed-species exhibit brings a variety of animals
closer to the public than ever before. For more information, visit
