Fisherman’s Wharf Fisherman’s wharf is San Francisco’s (and one of America’s) most visited attractions. The atmosphere here is superb with the street entertainers providing a highly amusing people watching environment. The wooden piers make for a great place to take a stroll and provide great views of the bay area, especially Alcatraz. Fisherman’s wharf is easily accessed from all over the city, with loads of buses that pass by and a cable car stop just yards away you are never far away from this wonderful area. The wharf is also home to a Sea Lion colony and viewing from pier 39 makes for great fun for all the family. |
An abundance of restaurants can be found here and with stunning views of the bay Fisherman’s Wharf is a great place to dine, seafood being a particular specialty. Shopping here is a treat as well with scores of small shops and stalls to look around it is perhaps the best place in the city to find that souvenir. This area also provides one of the best places to stay on your holiday to San Francisco, ideally located for all the sights and with great dining and drinking options Fisherman’s Wharf is a superb base. A great budget option for those wanting to stay here is the Travelodge By The Bay which is located within easy walking distance of the wharf and has fantastic rates. The Argonaut hotel is a new boutique style 4 star option that is again conveniently located by Fisherman’s Wharf. Both these hotels have great deals all year round and can be found along with many other options on Expedia.
