Airport shuttle

Hi,

I have a three hour lay over in San Francisco and I was wondering how far it is from the airport to downtown or if there is something worth visiting near the airport.

Thanks

Airport shuttle

If your layover is truly 3 hours (from the time your inbound flight arrives to the departure of your connection), 3 hours is a little tight (depending on time of day and day of week).

If you feel you have 3 hours to burn, BART into SF takes about 35 minutes. Fare is $5.35 each way. Exit at Embarcadero station and walk through the Ferry Building, lots of shops and restuarants.

Terminal 3 (United) has a ';museum'; of sorts along the concourse which frequently has some interesting exhibits. But it%26#39;s past security so only accesible if you%26#39;re flying United.

Not much to see in close proximity to the airport.

Thank you. Yes, it is exactly three hours. From 3 pm. until 6 pm. on a Monday. I would be coming from Las Vegas and have to change planes in San Francisco to come to Calgary. How much would a taxi be from the airport to Golden Gate Bridge and how long would it take? We are three people.

I wouldn%26#39;t risk it. If you take BART, you won%26#39;t have time to see anything other than the area near the Ferry Terminal. You can see the SF-Oakland Bay Bridge from there, but not the Golden Gate Bridge.

You could probably have a cab drive you to the Golden Gate Bridge, but once you go there, you%26#39;d have to immediately turn around and head back to the airport. The return trip to the airport will occur during rush hour.

A cab to the bridge would be about $50-55 dollars but the drive at the best of times would take 40 minutes.

With the amount of time you have between flights, I don%26#39;t think it%26#39;s adviseable to leave the airport.

Thanks. We will see the museum at the airport then.
