  • I know is tourist and prices here are far expensive compared to outside this area. But the buildings are just great, the way they had brought the old style. I just love it. Ok there is more than shops, also restaurants, ice cream shops, etc….

    Pier 39 is the heart of the tourist and entertainment district on the San Francisco Bay. It offers 110 shops which cater virtually every whim one can imagine. There are also numerous resturants with a view and entertainment venues. This is also the place to get your tickets for harbour cruises, ferries across the bay, and trips to Alcratraz Island. It's touristy for sure, but then we are tourists after all. No trip to San Francisco would be complete without a stroll around Pier 39.

    Cheap trinkets to fine gifts and everything in between.

    With so many shops in the area, prices can be very competitive.

    The famous Pier 39 offers a lot of tourist attractions. You can find there the Under Water World Aquarium, a wax-museum and a lot of nice little shops. I liked best the NFL/NBA/MLB-shop that sells sports goods and fan-articles. There a´ra also great pubs to have a drink in. But pay attention to the prices: it can be very expensive!!!

    everything: from art to souvenirs

    some of the shops can be very expensive

    Santa's Workshop is open all year round and is fully of lights and tinsel and all kinds of ornaments and decorations you can think of. Its a great place to escape into for a little while. .

    This shop is great for souvenir shopping. Its supposed to be the largest retail store of San Francisco gifts, memorabilia and souvenirs. They are right on Pier 39 on the left. .

    Pier 39 is a cluster of 110 stores and restaurants on a pier into the San Francisco Bay. Alcatraz Island can be easily seen from there.

    Nearly everything is available, but I bought postcards and cookies from a kiosks that sold just that and I visited a shop that specialised in clothing with logos of professional sports teams.

    High rents and taxes necessitate higher prices, but bargains can be found.
