Welcome to San Francisco!

We’re so excited to celebrate with you in the City by the Bay. Below are a few travel tips and local highlights to help you make the most of your trip.

Getting Here

• By Air: The closest airport is San Francisco International (SFO), about 25 minutes from downtown. Oakland International (OAK) and San Jose (SJC) are also nearby options, typically offering competitive fares.

• Transportation:

  • Rideshare & Taxis: Uber and Lyft are readily available at all airports.

  • BART: The Bay Area Rapid Transit connects SFO and OAK directly to downtown San Francisco.

  • Parking: Parking in the city is limited. We recommend using rideshare or public transit once you’re here.

What to Pack

• Layers are essential. Even in summer, mornings and evenings can be chilly while afternoons are sunny and warm.

• Bring a light jacket or sweater, comfortable walking shoes (the hills are no joke!), and something dressy for wedding events.

• If you’re planning sightseeing near the water, add a scarf or windbreaker — the bay breeze can be brisk.

• Expect mild temperatures year-round.

  • Average highs: 65–70°F

  • Average lows: 55°F
