Areas to Avoid: BART at Night can be a little scary
  • Tip Rating:
  • Try to stay away from the Oakland BART station at night.
    It's very deserted, I mean no one around. I felt very vulnerable at 8:30 at night coming back from Berkley. On Sunday's there are no direct trains from Berkley to San Francisco, so you have to transfer at the Oakland or McCarthur station. the Oakland station did not feel safe at night. The area around the Powell BART Station also felt very precarious at best at nightime.

  • Tip Rating:
  • The day can start out hot in Pacifc Heights, and by 2pm be absolutely freezing on the Golden Gate Bridge. The winds come off the water and make it really cold and uncomfortable rather quickly. Dresss in layers and always bring a jacket and more sweaters than you think you need. In the afternoons and evenings it starts to get cold. The Golden Gate bridge can be freezing with it's windy conditions even on a lovely day. Fishermans' wharf can also be cold due being right on the water.

     We are visiting SF in late Jan and have booked a place near Ghirardelli Square. We are hoping it is a great place. Tell me more about the MARINA and the places to go. 2 Australians.
