San Francisco from Hamburg, Nov 14–23: $3,038 for two, all in
The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, if
- $627 per person, $223 below the highest fare we saw
- Samesun San Francisco: 8.3 from 4,292 reviews, breakfast, free cancellation
- Highs of 58–62°F, fine for walking the Golden Gate Bridge
The catch: One stop and 14h 5m on the way out, mostly overcast days with some drizzle, and a checked bag is about $160 for two, not in the total.
Worth it if you want nine nights of walking, food and bay views in sweater weather; skip it if you need sun or hate layovers.
Worth it if one stop and a gray week don't bother you. The whole trip is $3,038 for two, all in: the Lufthansa + United flights at $1,254, Samesun San Francisco at $1,562 and $222 in property fees, with taxes included. You leave Saturday, Nov 14 and return Monday, Nov 23, 2026, for 9 nights, and the flight has one stop (14h 5m on the way out), so it's not a nonstop.

Why now
The fare is $627 per person, $223 below the highest fare we saw for these dates. That's 26% under it, across 12 offers we checked. It brings the whole trip to $3,038 for two, all in, with 9 nights at Samesun San Francisco, breakfast and the $222 in property fees counted. A checked bag (about $160 for two) and spending money aren't in that number. Prices are what we found when we checked, and they can change. Mid-November isn't the warm season here; that's September and October. Plan on typical highs of 58–62°F, lows near 50°F, mostly overcast skies and a couple of drizzly days. That's good weather for a city trip on foot: cable cars over Nob Hill, dim sum in Chinatown, the redwoods at Muir Woods and the ferry to Alcatraz.
The kind of trip this is
This is a city-and-food vacation for two, at an easy pace: hills, bay views, cable cars and long lunches, plus a day out to the redwoods. It suits couples and friends who like to walk, layer up and eat well, and who'd rather explore neighborhoods than lie by a pool. With nine nights you can slow down and do one big thing a day.

Where to stay in San Francisco
We picked Samesun San Francisco as the best value: $1,562 for the 9 nights ($174 a night), 8.3 from 4,292 reviews, with breakfast and free cancellation. It's in the Marina District, near Marina / Cow Hollow, which is handy for the Golden Gate and Crissy Field. The $222 in fees paid at the property is already in our total. The top rated pick is Palace Hotel, a Luxury Collection Hotel, San Francisco in the Financial District: $8,200 for the stay ($911 a night), 8.5 from 404 reviews, room only, plus $1,236 at the property. EMBASSY HOTEL in the Tenderloin is the budget pick at $1,091 ($121 a night) plus $164 at the property, but heads-up: it scores 5.9 from 727 reviews. If you want cable cars at the door, look at Union Square.
