Fisherman's Wharf hotels

Cultural District - Japantown
Nearby, City Hall’s golden dome sparkles amid the Civic Center’s concrete gray. The live arts thrive at the San Francisco War Memorial & Performing Arts Center, one of the nation’s largest. A five-tiered Peace Pagoda marks Japantown. Castro District, the city’s main gay neighborhood, is a short ride away, as is Haight-Ashbury, the counterculture bastion that is a gateway to Golden Gate Park.

Financial District - Ferry Building
The bulls and bears of industry tread the streets of the Financial District, home to the city’s tallest buildings, including the iconic Transmerica Pyramid. The towers give way to The Embarcadero, the broad, palm-lined avenue that begins at the San Francisco Giant’s AT&T Park and ends at Fisherman’s Wharf. The road passes by the Ferry Building, a landmark transformed into an artisanal food market.

Fisherman's Wharf
Sea lions bask in the sun by Pier 39’s shops at Fisherman’s Wharf. Nearby, Ghirardelli Square’s chocolate factory gives a taste of the sweet life. At Pier 33, boats depart for Alcatraz. The city and Golden Gate Bridge gleam atop Coit Tower on Telegraph Hill. Literature thrives at the famed City Lights book store in North Beach. Washington Square Park is the heart of this historic Italian enclave.

Half Moon Bay
This rustic Pacific coastline town south of San Francisco is home to top-notch restaurants, art galleries, and cozy book and craft stores. Monthly flower markets take place downtown in the spring and summer months. Horseback riding along the coast is available year-round and the town is also home to a world-class golf course.

San Francisco International Airport (SFO)
SFO is conveniently located 12 miles south of San Francisco. BART, or the Bay Area Rapid Transit, links San Francisco International Airport with The City (as San Francisco is commonly known among locals). The airport is conveniently located to businesses in the north and residential and business communities to the south. Some of the leading biotech and Silicon Valley companies are within minutes of the airport.

Union Square - Convention Center
Flagship stores ring Union Square, among the vanguard of West Coast retail. Chinatown begins at Grant Avenue and Bush Street, while Gold Rush-era mansions crown Nob Hill. South of Union Square, the convention center area includes the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. Cable cars turn around at Powell and Market streets to head back to Fisherman’s Wharf.
