Tourist places in Daly City, Daly City Travel Info
Daly City is the largest city in San Mateo County, California. Located immediately south of San Francisco, it is often called the "Gateway to the Peninsula." The city is known for its diverse population, fog, and the Cow Palace arena.
Daly City borders San Francisco to the north and the Pacific Ocean to the west. It has a cool-summer Mediterranean climate. The city is famous for its frequent fog, especially in the summer, due to the marine layer from the ocean.
The best time to visit Daly City is in the fall (September and October) when the fog often clears, and temperatures are warmest. Spring is also nice. Summer can be surprisingly cool and foggy.
Daly City is well-connected to San Francisco and the Bay Area by BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit), with two stations in the city. SamTrans provides bus service. A car is useful for reaching the coast and shopping centers.
