What travellers are saying
- KMB_GAFort Myers, FL1,300 contributionsYes it’s a tourist trap and a little pricey…but it’s worth visiting. If nothing else to see the sea lions! But it had great views of Alcatraz, lots of little shops to explore, and had a tacky carnival vibe. It shouldn’t be the only thing you do on a visit to SF, but drop in and check it out. There’s decent food options, plenty to walk and see, and nice ocean breezes.Written 30 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- 196LindaCMukwonago, WI817 contributionsLeisurely stroll through Chinatown on our way to the Wharf. Always interesting to see the daily food markets as well as the shops and restaurants. It's the largest Chinatown I've seen with many restaurants and interesting points of interestWritten 25 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Thomas VOakland, CA18,973 contributionsYou must take a long walk along the Embarcadero, especially toward the south, under the Bay Bridge and to the Ball Park. You will find great water views, some good places to eat and drink and some great outdoor art. The sidewalk is broad and you will have a lot of company walking, skating, etc. Great way to see the city.Written 30 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Thomas VOakland, CA18,973 contributionsI've come here to go to my fitness center, and I have grown to love it as a genuine neighborhood with its own flavor. It is a bit challenging to get to because there is the very steep hill. But the buses and cable cars will help you. You will find the great cathedral and some magnificent hotels, plus some beautiful apartments.Written 2 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- AMohsenPort Said, Egypt687 contributionsAs the name denotes, it is a shoreline district in the north of San Francisco.

- Thomas VOakland, CA18,973 contributionsOne of the wealthiest neighborhoods in the City. And the rich know how to live, so you will find lovely houses (some Victorians) and grand apartment buildings. There have always been great independent upscale neighborhood restaurants here. A pretty part of town where you will feel safe.Written 3 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Thomas VOakland, CA18,973 contributionsThis is one of the city's gems, a beautiful park on the beautiful Bay. Some folks come here to swim in the very cold water, God bless them.
