Local Advisories
Common scams and safety notes for San Francisco, from travelers and public reporting — not a substitute for your government's official travel advisory.
Widespread Car Break-InsTransport
Car break-ins are extremely common, particularly at tourist parking near Fisherman's Wharf, Twin Peaks, and Golden Gate Bridge viewpoints. Never leave anything visible in a parked car; consider a hotel garage over street parking.
Tenderloin / Mid-MarketGeneral
The Tenderloin and parts of Mid-Market have a visible open-drug-use and homelessness crisis, close to Union Square. Usually safe to walk through in daylight, but avoid lingering, especially after dark.
