How to Find a Honeymoon Venue in San Francisco

San Francisco has long been known as the "City by the Bay," and with the Golden Gate Bridge towering nearby, it is not difficult to imagine San Francisco as a romantic getaway. Trying to find a honeymoon venue in San Francisco is not at all hard with its numerous attractions, including fabulous five-star hotels. Searching can become a lot easier if you try the following steps:

Things You'll Need

• Map
• Hotel

Instructions

1. Visit the Internet and browse through the many sites that promote San Francisco as a honeymoon destination. Let your browser do the legwork and begin investigating all that this city has to offer (see Resources below).

2. Check out the official tourism Web site of San Francisco. Here, you can find a great deal of information about the "City by the Bay," including a good selection of hotels that offer excellent rates and accommodations for vacation-seekers, including newlyweds.

3. Choose the San Francisco Bay Area for your honeymoon destination. Although there are many great places in San Francisco, the Bay Area should be an excellent choice for newlyweds to consider as well. You'll find that hotel rates outside the city are easier on your budget, too.

4. Browse through the Web sites of the many hotels that San Francisco features. Note the honeymoon packages that are available and compare them to get the most bang for your buck.

5. Speaking of money, before you make reservations and commitments, sit down and establish a budget for your honeymoon. This will help you to balance wants versus needs and keep you from spending more than you can afford.

6. Try visiting various hotel forums on the Internet to get feedback from previous visitors. This way, you will get a more concrete idea on how good or how bad the hotel is based on the experiences of its previous guests.

7. Visit Fisherman's Wharf, a historic Bay Area attraction close to many shopping and dining options. Also consider Ghirardelli Square, a classic San Francisco shopping center located just a few steps away from the Wharf.

Tips & Warnings

• Many well-known Bay Area tourist attractions have admission fees. You might get to save money if you buy a CityPass, which includes free rides on the popular San Francisco cable cars.

• Shuttle rides to several Bay Area tourist destinations are available, with the shuttle tour around the Wine Country being a highly popular ride. You might want to include this in your honeymoon itinerary since the rides can both be fun and educational.

• Navigating around San Francisco can be difficult. Take a map with you.
