San Francisco is quite safe at the daylight. You can meet some homeless people, but they are not crazy. I recommend stay in when sun goes down or walk only in crowded areas. Downtown and Chinatown are pretty crowded.
Posted: February 14, 2025It was pretty safe and convenient in San Francisco. Fisherman’s wharf and beaches were pretty nice. Sunsets were my favorite. Food, transportation and Uber, and accommodation were quite expensive though.
Posted: September 25, 2024I visited San Francisco in December 2023 and stayed with my husband. It was a great trip, the weather was great. We went on long drives along the coast and we saw migratory butterflies, seals, and sea lions. There are many good hikes around the area and beaches as well.
Posted: May 15, 2024Experienced: November, 2023For my first solo trip, I went to San Francisco. Of course, with any city, there are sketchy areas to avoid, but generally, I felt really safe. The city is very easy to navigate and I was able to get around quite easily.

It was fairly safe! Although, I went back to my hostel when it got dark and I used Uber half the time for transportation. If you love seafood, I highly recommend Swan Osyter Depot (get there as early as you can because the wait can take long)! For dim sum, I recommend Good Mong Kok Bakery! If you like relaxing and sightseeing, just walking through Crissy Field East Beach is calm ans scenic. stayed at Green Tortoise hostel. 🐢 The staff and people there were friendly! The hostel was calm and cozy even though it was next to bars and nightclubs. Absolutely enjoyed my time there overall!

Every neighborhood has so many quirks and uniqueness to it, you will love exploring every part of SF. You can easily walk or public transit to most parts of the city. You can ask others for help or if you have any questions. The only neighborhood to be weary of is the Tenderloin.

Hello everyone, my name is Jesse, I'm from El Salvador, living in California. Currently working as a babysitter and as a kindergarten teacher assistant. One of my favorite things to do while visiting different countries is to try the different kinds of snacks and traditional foods. I also love to learn new languages, I'm fluent in español, english and portugues. Another thing I enjoy while traveling is making new friends, it is so nice to meet like-minded people on the road that they become little treasures. 💖

Born in Mexico, but live out in California. I considered myself to be friendly, outgoing-introvert (am shy but willing to go out of my comfort zone), easy-going, respectful and direct. I enjoy sarcasm and don't' get offended easily (doesn't mean you should disrespect me) and am easily amused. I enjoy meeting new people and creating new friendships and believe that adding something new to one's life is rewarding. I enjoy being around positive and intellectual people who I can have a interesting conversation and laugh with them. CHECK OUT my Instagram @mexicanawithwings
