Can you do San Francisco without a car?

To do the usual touristy things for a week? I won't drive in America...

Is this feasible?

Great! Next question... is it worth actually going? I'm assuming yes according to my own research online. For a week in low season probably February. Don't do busy times or hot weather.

We did a californian road trip and spent 5 days in San Francisco and did not use the car at all, it cost us a fortune to park it in hotel garage but it would have been more hassle than it was worth to use it.
We used Uber and the Hop on Hop off bus.

Yep. I did it walking and using public transport.

Yes. San Francisco is not that great to drive around and the parking is crazy expensive. There's a ton of public transport.
