Anytime you go to San Francisco you must ride the cable cars. Get a ticket near the Ghiradelli Square after you go there or the wharf and take a trip through town.

I've done this ride several times and its definitely worth doing if you have the time. Watch out for long lines. It takes approximately 15-20 minutes for each car to depart/ load.
