Amoeba MusicĪmoeba Music is a huge record/CD store made out of a former bowling alley on Haight Street.

The latter houses items from Oceanic ceremonial masks and trippy-hippie handmade fashion to a James Turrell domed skyspace installation built into the side of a hill. The former features a collection ranging from Monet to John Cage soundscapes, ancient Iraqi ivories to R Crumb comics. If you're in San Francisco on the first Tuesday of the month, get thee to either the Legion of Honor or the de Young Museum, both of which are free on those days. It’s 1.7 miles across (it’s possible to catch a bus back – though some visitors just walk halfway across, take in the scene, and return). You can bike across, but it’s just as fun – if you are dressed right – to walk across the world’s most beautiful bridge. On sunny days, it's a brilliant radiant orange (International Orange, to be specific), and when the fog rolls in it's a moody only-in-San Francisco vista.

It's completely free to marvel at this feat of art-deco design and engineering.
