Things to do in San Francisco

What to expect in San Francisco

San Francisco’s things-to-do mix on Klook is led by Museums, then Tours, Cruises, Attraction passes and Outdoor & sports activities, which gives travellers easy options from museum visits to active outdoor experiences. That spread means you can stitch low-cost museum stops into a day that also includes a pricier cruise or a specialised outdoor activity. Demand peaks in May and eases to its quietest in January, so the same experiences are busiest in May and much easier to book in January.

How to choose what to book here

A key decision is whether you want broad choice or a simple, affordable option: Outdoor & sports activities offer the widest range, from around PHP 2,616 entry-level to PHP 11,834 at the upper end, so they suit travellers who want a lot of variation and willing to shop for a specific fit. Museums are the most affordable way in, typically around PHP 2,081, and they’re a straightforward fill-in when you need a low-cost option between pricier plans.

If you prefer predictable pricing with little benefit from shopping around, Attraction passes have a narrower band around their typical price of PHP 5,292 and suit travellers who want a bundled, premium option. Tours sit in the mid-range with a typical price near PHP 4,519, where what’s included varies enough that comparing options can matter when you choose a specific tour.

When travellers from the Philippines book

Most travellers book very close to travel, typically about 2 days ahead, while the earliest planners book around 13 days out. Plan on booking within a few days of travel for most activities, but give yourself extra cushion for visits during May, when demand is highest.

How prices compare across categories

The table below compares typical prices and the usual price ranges for San Francisco’s top activity categories so you can budget before you pick an experience.

Typical price is the median paid on Klook; the usual range covers the middle half of bookings, so cheaper and pricier options exist outside it; prices are shown with their currency code. Based on Klook booking data, August 2025 – July 2026.
