A city where summer is the coldest season and every hill resets the view. Bring a jacket, lose the itinerary, and walk until the fog decides what you see next.
Best time to visit September and October, the fog’s off-season. The famous summer is grey and 14 degrees.
How to dress Layers. The temperature changes per neighbourhood, not per day.
What to expect The bridge makes its own weather. If it is fogged out, wait an hour and try again.
Earn the sundae at Ghirardelli by walking there over the hills. House rule.
