My one visit to San Francisco in 2000 (Macworld!), we drove across the Golden Gate Bridge and went to an overlook just west of the bridge, looking back to the southeast with bridge and city in the background (it's that view you've seen in a ton of movies, postcards, photos, posters, etc.). It was a park/overlook on the hillside, with some bunkers(?).
I enjoyed my day of San Francisco sightseeing after wandering around Moscone for two days. We hit all the expected high points (and my Dirty Harry/Bullitt checklists).
