Stadium

Levi’s Stadium

Airport transfer

Confirm airport, hotel zone, luggage, and arrival timing.

Stadium transfer

Keep match transport separate from full day tours.

Airport arrival planning

  • Confirm your arrival airport, hotel zone, luggage needs, and transfer timing before adding tours in San Francisco Bay Area.
  • Avoid placing a long day trip immediately after an international arrival.
  • Partner airport transfer options will be added only when local Bókun suppliers are onboarded.

Hotel to stadium transfer

  • Treat Levi’s Stadium as the anchor of the day, not a quick stop between tours.
  • Arrive earlier on match days and keep buffer time for crowds, security, and post-match exits.
  • Private transfers can reduce planning stress when hotel zones and stadium zones are far apart.

Best areas to stay

  • San Francisco for sightseeing
  • San Jose or Santa Clara for stadium priority
  • Airport corridor for transfer-heavy stays
