Union Square Parking lot : 252 Geary Blvd If you have rented a car to explore the American West and are ending your trip in San Francisco, it is recommended to return the car on your first day in the city. Unlike Los Angeles, San Francisco is best explored on foot or by public transportation. If you do have a vehicle, the ideal option is to find a hotel with parking. Otherwise, you can park on the street, but be sure to carefully read the signs and pay attention to street markings, as regulations vary by location. Important: Always turn your wheels towards the curb when parking on a slope, or you may receive a fine.
In order to not miss anything in San Francisco, you have to stay minimum 3 full days. Ideally, you can spend 4 nights on site.
