Sightseeing
Golden Gate Park
Take the 44 O'Shaugnessy directly to the park from the stop across from the Glen Park Bart station (going up the hill). Save yourself the trouble of finding parking which ultimately save time. Visit the De Young Museum, Japanese Tea Garden, Academy of Science, or just stroll around and have a picnic.

General Sightseeing
I've added some of my favorite restaurants, neighborhoods, and bars/venues but by all means do the following if you haven't yet:
Visit Golden Gate Park
Drive or take the 44 bus to visit the park. The DeYoung Museum usually has excellent special exhibits. The Japanese Tea garden is quiet lovely, especially in the spring. There are many walking paths and places for picnics and a free shuttle to different areas.
Walk across the Golden Gate Bridge
Be sure to bring a jacket as it's usually windy and chilly.
Take the Cable Car to Fisherman's Wharf
Hop on BART, get off on Powell & hop on the cc
