There are two main areas to stay - Union Square and Fisherman’s Wharf. Both are good places to stay and offer different experiences. As the name suggests, Fisherman’s Wharf puts you closer to the Bay and a view of Alcatraz: Union Square is better for shopping.

Getting around San Francisco is easy in a taxi. The Cable Cars are fun and can be useful, but queues can be long and they tend to get crowded with tourists – not a good idea if your arms are full of shopping! Walking is a possibility but the city is very, very hilly. Unusually for the States, the public transport system (buses and trams) is good.
The atmosphere at the Pier 39 Fishermans Wharf Shops to some extend will remind you of the atmosphere of an old English seaside town.
It is tacky, but endearing.
Fisherman’s Wharf is the place where you can see the famous seals (although in the last few years they are seen less and less) or can take the boat, if you want, to visit Alcatraz.
One of the greatest attractions here is Pier 39. Here you will find a choice of restaurants and, of course, shopping from souvenirs to gifts and jewellery.
