Airports
San Francisco International Airport (SFO) - Nearest airport to the venue. - Most convenient option for getting into the city. - The ride from the airport to the city is between 30-60 minutes, depending on traffic. Oakland International Airport (OAK) - Another option for flying in. - Keep in mind that the ride into the city may be more expensive due to bridge tolls. - The ride from the airport to the city is between 40-90 minutes, depending on traffic.
Travel Note
Ground Transportation
We do NOT recommend renting a car - parking in the city is challenging and can be pricy. Rideshare apps (Uber or Lyft) are readily available and can take you anywhere you need! Public transportation is well connected here, you can access much of the city and the venue by this too - check out SFMTA and BART for more details. Feel free to reach out with any questions.
