Stroll along The Promenade and enjoy watching the flow of locals and tourists as you pass by. There's nothing like a walk along the waterside to kick off your vacation.

You'll be spoiled for sightseeing choice when staying in Downtown San Francisco. The Promenade is a great place to begin here, but there are numerous other worthy attractions to enjoy. Pier 39, Golden Gate Bridge, and Alcatraz Island are near the waterside pathway and will fill in your day nicely.

6.2/10 (862 reviews)

No parking needed. The facility looked decent on the outside, but very dated and run down on the inside. It's a place to sleep for the night. The Becks motel/hotel in the Castro was a much better experience. Some older hotels just have that lived in look.

Popular places to visit

We saw two performances while we were in SF. During the first performance, we sat in the bench seating behind the orchestra called the "terrace" and this is a photo from the second tier seats. I highly recommend sitting in the terrace seats if you are not a stickler for acoustics. It is so fun to be able to watch the conductor's face and be so close to the musicians that you can follow along with their sheet music.
