I had a half day and then a full day off in San Francisco, and I tried to see what I could. I was staying on the top of Nob Hill, so I was central to and got to see the downtown shopping areas, Chinatown, Lombard Street, and Fisherman's Wharf. I bought the pass to ride the cable cars around - I felt it was mandatory. I actually spent a lot of time in the Cable Car Museum, fascinated with the history and the low-tech systems still in place after all these years.
Also, I liked the Musee Mecanique at Fisherman's Wharf. Largest collection I've seen of nickelodeon type entertainment machines. There's even a one-of-a-kind steam-powered motorcycle. And it's free admission.
I'm such a geek.
