Some good tips about the cable car routes but may be worth remembering that the California line is closed until later in the year for refurbishment. Once that line is finished they will close the other lines one by one to do them as well. It could take up to 12 months for each line.

Well I didn't know that - thanks for pointing out the closures. At least it's only the California line for now which was pretty quiet anyway.

Can't imagine how rammed Powell/Hyde will be when Powell/Mason is closed and vice versa!

There's lots of good advice on this thread already but I just wanted to add that you should take some warm clothes, don't expect to be wandering round in shorts/t-shirts. SF is not that warm during July/August - we were there in July last year for a week and most days it was sweater weather.

The night tour round Alcatraz is wonderfully creepy as well as fascinating - highly recommended.
