And share your own San Francisco experience in the comments below.

The suggestions are based on our exciting trip to San Francisco.

Here are our top 10 picks:

NUMBER 1: FISHERMAN'S WHARF

Fisherman's Wharf is a popular historic neighborhood in San Francisco.

It got its name in the 1800s when fishermen provided food for hordes of Gold Rushers

and the Wharf became a home base for their fishing fleet.

In the 1970s it became a world famous tourist attraction.

Fisherman's Wharf includes several interesting locations, such us:

Pier 39, where you'll find restaurants, shops, and other attractions, for example,

sea lions, Bay cruises, carousel, Infinite Mirror Maze, aquarium, and many more.

Visit the Cable car turnaround or take a ride on one of the famous San Francisco cable cars,

the last working cable car system of its kind in the world.

Or visit a Historic Pier 45 and Ghirardelli Square which was initially a chocolate factory.

NUMBER 2: PALACE OF FINE ARTS THEATRE

The Palace of Fine Arts is a monumental structure

built for the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition to show to the world that San Francisco

could be an international city, following a devastating earthquake and fire of 1906.

In addition to the colossal Roman-ruins inspired architecture it features a lagoon and walkways,

making it a popular location for art exhibitions, and a favorite spot for weddings.

Take a short walk through this amazing architectural masterpiece.

You can also visit The Wave Organ, a wave-activated acoustic sculpture, located nearby.

The effects and intensity vary depending on the level of the tide.

Sit back and enjoy the sound of the ocean.

NUMBER 3: GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE

Golden Gate Bridge is one of the most recognized American symbols

and has been declared one of the Wonders of the Modern World.

It was built in 1937 and was the tallest and longest suspension bridge

at the time of its construction.

The bridge connects the strait between San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean.

With its "international orange" paint, and its picturesque surroundings it is said

to be the most photographed bridge in the world.

You can walk across the bride and decide which side hides the best spot for a selfie

with this iconic piece of history.

NUMBER 4: SUTRO BATHS

The Sutro Baths is an open area on the ruins

of what was once the largest indoor swimming pool in the world.

Built at the end of the 19th century, it featured six saltwater and one freshwater pool.

The baths struggled for many years due to high maintenance costs and in the 1960s transformed

into an ice-skating ring, however, the facility burned to the ground short after.

Nearby, you will find Camera Obscura, a rare device, based on a 15th century design by

Leonardo da Vinci.

It produces 360 degrees of live images of the Seal Rock Area.

NUMBER 5: GOLDEN GATE PARK

Golden Gate Park is a large urban park consisting of over 1,000 acres

featuring hills, lakes, meadows, gardens, playgrounds, and buildings.

The park offers a great escape from the city life and is an ideal place to take a walk,

read a book, or have a picnic.

The park is full of interesting locations, such as:

Conservatory of Flowers, Japanese Tea Garden,

Beautiful Stow Lake with Golden Gate Pavillion and Strawberry Hill,

Alvord Lake Bridge which is believed to be the first reinforced concrete bridge in America,

Dutch Windmill, one of the two windmills built to irrigate the park,

and many other sights.

NUMBER 6: BEAUTIFUL STREETS

San Francisco is known for its rolling hills,

and beautiful streets with cute and colorful houses and amazing ocean views.

Don't miss the following locations: Painted Ladies near Alamo Square,

a row of Victorian homes with Edwardian elements, painted in different colors to enhance their

architectural detail with a beautiful view of Downtown from the Alamo Square park above.

16th Avenue Tiled Steps – a neighborhood project where the community got together and

raised funds to transform 163 steps into a work of art.

Lombard Street with its steep, one-block section with eight sharp turns, claimed to be

"the crookedest street in the world".

There are plenty more streets to discover.

See the full list in the description.

NUMBER 7: ALCATRAZ

Alcatraz Island got its name from the Spanish word

usually defined as meaning "pelican" or "a strange bird.".

The island is famous for its abandoned prison, Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary.

The first prison was constructed in the 19th century and rebuilt in 1911.

It later became famous as "The Rock" and was believed to be escape-proof, due to cold waters

and strong bay currents.

It housed over 1,500 of America's most ruthless criminals, such as Al Capone.

The prison was forced to shut down in 1963 due to high maintenance costs and bad reputation.

The island is now open for public.

We recommend reserving your ticket to visit the island in advance

as the they are often sold out.

See the description for information on how to visit Alcatraz.

NUMBER 8: FERRY BUILDING

The San Francisco Ferry Building is a terminal

for ferries travelling across the San Francisco Bay.

The building is located on Embarcadero, the street where San Francisco's piers start,

beginning with Pier 1, located right next to the Ferry building.

The construction of the building was completed in 1898 as the largest city project at that time.

The building features a food, retail, and restaurant hall, focusing on local

and sustainable products and offers an amazing view towards the Oakland Bay Bridge.

NUMBER 9: FINANCIAL DISTRICT

Financial district is a Manhattan-like district,

a concentration of tall buildings and corporate headquarters of numerous world-famous companies,

such as Wells Fargo, PG&E, and Gap.

The district underwent a construction boom in the second half of the 20th century when

the building height restrictions were lifted due to better earthquake-proof building techniques.

You can't miss The Transamerica Pyramid, which was the tallest building in San Francisco

until recent construction of Salesforce Tower.

NUMBER 10: CHINATOWN

While San Francisco has not one, but four Chinatowns,

the one located on Grant Avenue is the biggest Chinatown outside Asia

and the oldest one in North America.

It was established in the mid 19th century and has played a major role among the Chinese

immigrants in North America.

It still retains its own customs, languages, and identity and offers a number of traditional

Chinese shops, restaurants, and attractions, such as the Dragon Gate, Sing Chong Building,

Tin How Temple, The Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association, and many more.

We created a Google map with all the suggestions.

CHP Tips - Thanksgiving Travel - Duration: 2:19.

Music Playing: (blink-182 - "California")

Music lyrics: "Hey, here's to you, California."

AJ, if I wanted to see you lip-sync I will just watch our video

Hey, what's up Mahmood?

What are your plans for Thanksgiving?

The family and I are going to take the train down to LA this year to avoid the traffic.

Ah, traffic.. Yeah, Chipper is stressing about that right now.

I know, a lot of people are stressing about that.

You should go talk to him and see how he's doing.

Have you seen where he was last?

You know, I think he's out back somewhere. I'm not sure.

Okay, sounds good. I'm gonna have to go find him. I'll see you later AJ!

We'll see you later!

Chipper man! What's going on? why are you in the tree?

Whoa whoa whoa whoa man! Take it easy, take it easy! Let's talk about this a little bit.

I know you're going on that road trip, let me help you out.

Just make sure you plan your route, check the weather, bring plenty of snacks,

and water and bring plenty of DVDs for Chipper junior and you'll be good to go!

Hey man, let's get you off this tree and we'll come up with more ideas.

Before heading off on your trip make sure your vehicle's maintenance is up-to-date.

Check your oil and water levels. Test your tires PSI and make sure

the spare is ready to go in case it's needed. Plan your route in advance and

share it with people you're going to visit. Let them know what time you're

leaving and what time you expect to arrive. Check the weather forecast for

your travel pattern. Weather doesn't always cooperate with our plans.

Knowing if you'll be encountering heavy rains, wind, or snow can help you plan

appropriately.

And remember, there's going to be a lot of people on the road. Be patient and reduce your speed.

We want you to arrive safe!

News Wrap: Rain finally falls on scorched California - Duration: 5:30.

JUDY WOODRUFF: Rain fell across California today for the first time since a pair of deadly

wildfires started raging at both ends of the state.

The death toll from the so-called Camp Fire in the north rose to 81 people today.

Some 870 others are still missing.

Firefighters in the town of Paradise said the showers will help them battle the wildfire

that's 80 percent contained.

But the rainfall will also hinder their search efforts.

RICK CARHART, Cal Fire: The rain is really a double-edged sword for this fire.

It's definitely -- any rain, any precipitation is going to help with fire suppression, clearly,

but it definitely has its drawbacks and its disadvantages as well.

The hillsides, without the ground cover that's been burned away, it definitely makes this

more potential for mudslides.

JUDY WOODRUFF: In Southern California, firefighters are also bracing for potential mudslides.

The Woolsey Fire there is now more than 98 percent contained.

We will have a closer look at the challenges of recovery efforts in Northern California

after the news summary.

The humanitarian aid group Save the Children estimates that 85,000 Yemeni children under

the age of 5 have died of extreme hunger since that country's civil war broke out in 2015.

It attributes that tragic toll to a Saudi-led coalition's intervention in the conflict and

recent fighting in and around the port city of Hodeidah.

U.S. Defense Secretary James Mattis said peace talks between Yemen's warring parties will

take place next month in Sweden.

Members of the international police organization Interpol today elected a South Korean to be

the agency's next president, in a surprise defeat over a Russian front-runner.

Kim Jong Yang edged out Russian general Alexander Prokopchuk, whose candidacy had stoked fears

that Russia could use the role to target political opponents.

Interpol's secretary-general reaffirmed the agency's impartiality when he spoke after

today's vote in Dubai.

JURGEN STOCK, Interpol Secretary-General: No matter, of course, what the nationality

of the president is, it's not affecting Interpol's neutrality and the independence of our organization.

It is fundamental to Interpol's existence that we are neutral and that we are independent.

JUDY WOODRUFF: Kim has temporarily led Interpol since October, after his Chinese predecessor

was arrested on corruption charges.

Back in this country, the number of abortions in the U.S. has plunged to a historic low.

New data out today from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention showed a 26 percent

decrease between 2006 and 2015.

It's the smallest number of American women seeking abortions since Roe v. Wade became

law in 1973.

The decline was largely attributed to state laws aimed at restricting the procedure and

better access to contraception.

Democrats have flipped another seat in the House of Representatives, this time in Utah.

Ben McAdams, the mayor of Salt Lake City -- or county, rather -- defeated his Republican

opponent, two-term incumbent Congresswoman Mia Love, by nearly 700 votes.

That victory gave Democrats a net gain of 39 seats in the House.

On Wall Street today, stocks tried to claw their way back after yesterday's massive sell-off.

The Dow Jones industrial average fell just under a point to close at 24464.

The Nasdaq rose 63 points, and the S&P 500 added eight.

And former Librarian of Congress James Billington died yesterday at a hospital in Washington

of complications from pneumonia.

Billington was a foremost scholar on Russian culture.

In his 28 years at the helm of the library, he doubled the size of its collection and

he helped to launch the National Book Festival in Washington.

Billington's tenure spanned five presidential administrations, before he retired in 2015.

He spoke to Jeffrey Brown back in 2007 about the library's efforts to preserve historical

audio recordings.

JAMES BILLINGTON, Librarian of Congress: We're trying to preserve the creativity of the American

people, in all its richness and variety, all formats, all of which really, since about

the mid-19th century, have been on relatively fragile, perishable material, often hard to

find, often impossible to play back or to read even, because of brittle paper and so

forth.

So we're trying to record this, and we're trying to save it for future generations.

And it's part of the -- a big part of the American story.

JUDY WOODRUFF: James Billington was 89 years old.

Still to come on the "NewsHour": the latest on survivors coping in fire-ravaged California;

new orders from President Trump for U.S. troops on the border raise legal questions; Chief

Justice John Roberts rebukes the president's criticisms of the judiciary; the Mississippi

Senate race becomes more competitive after controversial comments; and much more.

Housing California residents displaced by fires proves difficult - Duration: 4:54.

JUDY WOODRUFF: It's a very difficult Thanksgiving holiday in California for tens of thousands

of residents there.

While the fire in southern part of the state is said to be contained, there's fear that

rain could lead to mudslides in the coming days.

Meanwhile, in the northern part of the state, the Camp Fire is still not fully out, and

it's left a burn scar, so to speak, that's larger than the city of San Jose.

Many people are still stuck with temporary shelters and few housing options.

Raquel Maria Dillon of public media KQED has been reporting from the area around Chico.

And I spoke with her by phone just a short time ago.

Started by asking what she's witnessed.

RAQUEL MARIA DILLON, KQED: There's just so many of them.

I think the folks who are worse off are stuck at this Wal-Mart parking lot in R.V.s or an

empty field and tents.

And when I left there earlier today, the rain was just beginning to come down for real,

and it's a low-lying spot, and there's a lot of concern in the community for getting those

folks out of there, or just helping them get through the bad weather.

People are putting wooden pallets underneath the tents and getting tarps out.

I got the sense that some of those folks were really living on the edge when they were back

home in Paradise.

One guy told me straight up he was homeless.

Another gentleman was telling me about his asthma and his medical conditions, and he

really shouldn't be sleeping out in a tent.

But I will say, the vast majority of the evacuees are crashing with family or friends on couches,

in people's R.V.s parked in driveways and other options like that, but people -- families

are split up, and it's a very stressful time and their situations will not last forever.

JUDY WOODRUFF: Well, who is in charge of providing facilities for these people who don't have

a home or a place to go anymore?

I mean, is there a visible organized presence doing the organizing?

RAQUEL MARIA DILLON: Yes, FEMA has opened up an old shuttered Sears department store.

And people pick a number on the way in.

They wait a little while.

They get their numbers called and then they wait a long time again to connect to services.

There's nonprofits there.

It's mainly FEMA and the state office of emergency services.

And there is aid available, but there just aren't enough homes, motel and hotel rooms

to put up all the people who fled the fire.

JUDY WOODRUFF: But you said people have to wait, that they come, and you said they take

a number and then they wait.

RAQUEL MARIA DILLON: Exactly.

It's a bureaucracy.

Some of the people I spoke with, you know, couldn't verify their addresses or didn't

have the right paperwork.

I spoke to one couple that had gotten a voucher going into a motel room, but they came back

to tie up some other loose ends.

They had forgotten their FEMA number and had to go back.

And so it's a bureaucracy.

And I think people who might be struggling with other issues might have a hard time navigating

that bureaucracy and need a lot of help.

JUDY WOODRUFF: So, what's going to happen, Raquel, on Thanksgiving, tomorrow?

Is there any -- is there any hope for a better living situation by then, or are they -- what's

going to happen?

RAQUEL MARIA DILLON: Well, the FEMA center will be open 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. tomorrow.

There's a lot of organizations in town, in the town of Chico, that are hosting dinners

and making sure that people are well-fed and taken care of on such an important holiday.

But big picture is, Chico has a housing crisis.

It's a city of 86,000 people that has poured out their generosity for these fire evacuees.

But I found a report from last year that said the vacancy rate in Chico is 1.9 percent.

And it might have even gone down further this year.

So in terms of long-term futures for these people to stay, it's a real problem.

JUDY WOODRUFF: It sounds like there's just no immediate housing solution for many of

these people.

RAQUEL MARIA DILLON: Correct.

And some of my colleagues at KQED have done some interesting reporting about FEMA has

80 trailers at the McClellan Air Force Base right outside of Sacramento, but they are

not designated for this particular emergency.

It just takes a long time to find the right place to put them.

You have to have sewer and electricity.

And it has to be a environmentally sound place for housing for families.

So that's a real challenge.

And it's just moving a lot slower than anyone had thought.

JUDY WOODRUFF: A really, really tough situation.

Raquel Maria Dillon with KQED, thank you very much.

RAQUEL MARIA DILLON: Thank you.

California wildfire smoke spreads to New York, 3,000 miles away World news - Duration: 2:14.

California wildfire smoke spreads to New York, 3,000 miles away World news

The US east coast has been provided a firsthand reminder of the deadly California wildfires after smoke swept across the country and caused a haze to envelop the eastern seaboard, including Washington DC and New York City.

Hazy skies were reported in several places on the east coast from smoke wafting from 3,000 miles further west, where wildfires in California have killed more than 80 people and razed more than 15,000 homes and other structures.

An unusually dense fug shrouded the top of New York City skyscrapers and the sunset was particularly intense due to the smoke particles in the air. "Wow. I knew tonight's sunset over New York City seemed different, and I should've realized," tweeted Kathryn Prociv, a meteorologist on the Today Show. "Wildfire smoke is in the air, all the way from California."

Donald Trump visited the areas affected last weekend and created controversy by refusing to acknowledge climate change as a major factor, getting the name of the incinerated town of Paradise wrong, once again blaming forest management and arguing for leaf-raking as a key factor in prevention.

Satellite imagery released by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration showed a band of smoke curling up from southern California to Massachusetts. While the diffused smoke can be hard to distinguish from other pollution, it makes a telltale appearance at sunrise and sunset.

The smoke is moving fairly high in the atmosphere but can exacerbate health problems if it settles – Washington DC's air quality was classed as only "moderate" on Tuesday.

This smoky pall is still nothing compared with the situation on the west coast, where there have been shortages of protective masks in some places. Schools and sporting events have been shut down due to the dire air quality, although San Francisco's famed tram network has now reopened. The air is still considered to be unhealthy but is expected to improve this week, with rain forecast for Wednesday.

The so-called Camp fire in northern California is the deadliest blaze in the state's history, with 81 confirmed deaths and nearly 700 people still unaccounted for since it broke out earlier this month, with the cause yet to be determined. The fire obliterated almost all of Paradise, a small town close to the Sierra Nevada, and displaced more than 50,000 people. A smaller blaze near Los Angeles has caused three deaths and is now largely contained, but still prompted some dramatic rescues of those stranded by the flames and smoke.
