If you only have one day to spend and see places in San Francisco, California, where will you go?

The first time I visited San Francisco, I was there for a week. But I was not there for fun, but for work. A long-time Filipino friend who resides in SF volunteered to tour me around the city and to show me places tourist usually visit. She said that we can see a number of places in just one day.

So, which places can you visit if you only have a very limited time?

1. PIER 39 and the sea lions, which are the star of the show.
