Break up a trip to SFO with a stop in Burlingame
BURLINGAME – Any plans to drop off friends or pick up relatives at San Francisco International Airport? Or maybe somebody will be picking you up from an upcoming flight.
For Sacramentans the round trip can be a four- to six-hour drive-time investment, depending on traffic.
Instead of immediately making tracks back to Sacramento from SFO, we suggest a detour to Burlingame for some chill time. The San Mateo County town of 28,800- plus is only a five-minute drive south of SFO on Highway 101, via the Broadway Avenue exit, and an ideal place to unwind before the trek home. Stroll, shop, dine.
One way or another, lots of folks are opting for that scenario.
"There is definitely a connection between Burlingame and the airport," said Burlingame City Manager Jim Nantell. "(Our town offers) a unique opportunity for people going to or coming from the airport. (For instance) if someone discovers a flight has been delayed and they've got an hour or two to kill, Burlingame is a great option while they wait."
