Welcome to California! After touching down in San Francisco, make your way to your hotel and settle in. With its historic streets, iconic waterfront, and cinematic skyline, the city sets the perfect stage for the start of your movie-themed adventure.
Ease into the afternoon with a relaxed stroll around Fisherman’s Wharf, one of the city's most recognisable areas, seen in countless films including Sister Act 2, Sudden Impact, and The Princess Diaries. Soak up views of Alcatraz across the bay (Escape from Alcatraz, The Rock), watch the sea lions at Pier 39, and enjoy the colourful energy of this famous district.
As the afternoon fades, make a stop at the Buena Vista Café — a San Francisco institution famously known for introducing Irish Coffee to America. The Buena Vista has featured in films such as When a Man Loves a Woman and Blue Jasmine, offering a perfect spot for a first toast to your cinematic journey. Settle in with an Irish Coffee and watch the cable cars clatter past, feeling as though you've stepped into a classic film scene.
Optional: If time and energy allow, hop on one of San Francisco’s iconic cable cars for a scenic ride through the city’s historic hills, a true movie moment in itself.
