I stumbled upon the Palace of Fine Arts during my visit to SF and was incredibly impressed. The surrounding neighborhood is really nice to see was well. The beach is right across the street with a good view of Alcatraz and the Golden Gate. Overall, it is a good use of time.
Spent a lot of my time in The Mission area which is full of pokey shops, cafes, bars, restaurants and generally cool buildings.
I also really enjoyed the Palace of Fine Arts and its gardens, such an awesome building

If you haven't been then the SF Giants baseball park is worth a visit, just for the views of the bay alone.
