Among the sight-seeing highlights:

Fisherman's Wharf and Fisherman's Wharf (Cannery)

Indulge in a sourdough bowl filled with steaming clam chowder while roaming the lively piers of Fisherman's Wharf. Catch a ferry to Alcatraz Island, do a little shopping at Pier 39, or marvel at the mock celebrity statues at the Wax Museum. Also not to be missed are the Maritime Museum and Ghirardelli Square — these light and breezy stops are a must-see for first time visitors to the city.

South of Market and Union Square

Home of the renowned San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA), be sure to give a few moments of time to the happening hot spot known as South of Market. Yerba Buena Gardens provides a nice picnic retreat on a sunny day, but the magnetic pull of Market Street and Union Square, with its lavish stores and trendy boutiques, is sure to please both the window-shopper and the shop-aholic alike.

City Hall — Civic Center

Take a gander at San Francisco's beautiful City Hall building. Built in 1915, this historic Beaux-Arts monument is presently renovated to accommodate curious visitors, and is open to the public Mon-ri, 8am to 8pm. Fans of opera and the symphony will not want to miss the opportunity to check out a show at the San Francisco War Memorial Opera House or Davies Symphony Hall.

North Beach

Cannoli, gnocchi, and pizza — all of the above and more are among the dreamy scents wafting their way down the streets of San Francisco's historic Italian district. Stop and relax with a tiny cup of espresso at any of the friendly café vendors. Or for a memorable experience, venture into one of the many bars and restaurants that adorn Columbus Avenue. For something different, take a stroll up to Coit Tower or cozy up with a book at the famous City Lights bookstore, a well-known tribute to the San Francisco beatniks.

Chinatown Gate

Perhaps the best place to purchase San Francisco trinkets and memorabilia, Chinatown remains a thrilling piece of San Francisco culture. Take pictures of the fancy, exotic architecture or snack on dim sum teacakes. A casual walk through Chinatown will not be easily forgotten.
