A day visit to San Francisco possible with a 11 hour stopover?

Accepted answer

First of all, arriving at 11:45am and departing at 10:45pm should be an 11-hour layover, which is quite a lot of time.

Quite a few of the popular tourist attractions are reachable by BART train without having to transfer. Also Nate already posted the link to the luggage storing information: How much to store luggage at SFO for 24 hours?

Popular places to visit are Union Square, the Embacedero up to Pier 39, and the Golden Gate bridge. For visiting the latter, you would need to take a bus or do quite a long walk - probably not so well-suited for an 11-hour layover.

The BART will take you about 1 hour each way, but you should have 7-8 hours in the city center then, which should be enough for a first look.

As a suggestion, take any travel guide and pick a few places that sound good to you close to Market street and close to the city center to visit. You can also walk from Market street to Little Italy, passing by Lombard Street, and walking back the Embacedero. You see quite a bit of the "real" San Francisco (i.e., where people live) in this way.
