19 Best Weekend Getaways from San Francisco (within a 3 hour flight)
2021-06-17
San Francisco residents pay a premium for their prime location. Yes, their living costs are the highest in the country, but if you're an avid traveler it doesn't get much better. In addition to numerous direct flight options overseas, San Francisco is ideally located with easy access to National Parks, mountains, and plenty of other fun destinations within a short flight. Note: These flights can be pretty expensive compared to other markets.
This article will focus on domestic destinations via airplane and car. Here are some weekend getaway ideas for locals in the bay area within a 3 hour flight. More importantly, these trips are all possible without having to request PTO (for you M-F 9-5'ers), it just depends what you want to do at your destination.
Bear in Mind: When travelling internationally as of June 17th, 2021, you're required to present a negative Covid-19 PCR test upon return to the United States. This is on top of any restrictions in the country you are visiting. Since the rules are changing frequently, I'll leave that out. Instead, I'll include a link to the embassy site where you can find the latest information.
