Rich history and a lively modern scene blend as seamlessly as sunny skies and bay city fog at Fisherman’s Wharf, one
San Francisco’s top tourist destinations. Spanning the San Francisco Bay from Pier 35 to Ghirardelli Square, Fisherman’s Wharf is jam-packed with historical sites and museums, savory seafood and international eateries, world class shopping, and so much more. Here is a brief overview of just a few of the top sites to visit at this undeniably San Franciscan waterfront neighborhood:
Pier 39: 110 stores and 12 bay view restaurants grace the streets of this festival marketplace, one of San Francisco’s
most celebrated treasures. Pier 39 features The Aquarium of the Bay, charming specialty shops, street performers, lounging sea lions, and so much more, all set against the gorgeous backdrop of San Francisco Bay. No visit is complete without dropping into a pier restaurant to sample local Dungeness crab or piping hot clam chowder in a fresh sourdough breadbowl (a San Francisco specialty).
Ghirardelli Square: Wine testing, artisan cupcakes, and an eclectic blend of unique shopping experiences are just the beginning of what’s on the menu at this restored chocolate factory turned urban hot spot. Be sure to drop by the Original Ghirardelli Ice Cream and Chocolate Manufactory to taste a bit of San Francisco history that will satisfy your sweet tooth.
The Cannery at Del Monte Square: What once served as the largest peach cannery in the world has transformed into a bustling shopping center and dining hub. Live entertainment at the Del Monte Square Courtyard features some of the best local talent in the city and adds to the vibrant atmosphere of this beautifully crafted brick warehouse.
San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park: Step back in time as your tour a collection of historic floating ships along the Hyde Street Pier. Self guided tours, hands on exhibits, lectures, and guided tours are all available to give you a glimpse into maritime life.
