Union Square: Shop till you drop
  • Tip Rating:
  • The most popular shopping area in San Francisco is Union Square. Many major department stores and national and international chains have stores in this area, so if shopping is your goal, you'll have an endless supply of stores. Near Union Square, you'll find Macy's, Nieman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, Ann Taylor, Nike, Levi's, Banana Republic, Gap, Coach, Nordstroms, Disney, Tiffany's, Hermes, Gump's, Chanel, Cartier, Urban Outfitters, J.Crew, etc. This is such a popular spot for shopping that it continues to attract residents from the suburbs. The stores are so much more concentrated and better here than anywhere else in the Bay Area.

    The area around Union Square is a shopping paradise; there is something for everyone, from middle of the road (Macy's) to high-end (Neiman Marcus and Saks' Fifth Avenue) and everything in between and beyond. The Banana Republic store is so huge I literally got lost trying to find the fitting room -- and that's just the women's section. For shoe lovers, don't miss out on the large DSW shoes -- even I found shoes to buy and I am hard to fit. Also, if you're looking for the cool and unusual in the shoe department, make a stop at Camper. Stock up on your beauty needs at Sephora. Looking for bon bons to eat in bed? make a chocolate run to Teuscher; the whimsical wrapping and boxes make them worth the high price. You can go boho chic at Anthropologie (on Market St.) and Urban Outfitters (Powell St.) On Maiden Lane, which is a narrow, quaint, shopping street, you can find very high end merchandise such as Sur la Table (for all your kitchen needs) or TSE (cashmere clothing) or Chanel. I shopped for a couple of days straight and still didn't see all the stores. Maybe because I spent too much time trying on shoes at DSW? If you're hungry you can refuel at the Cheesecake Factory on top of Macy's -- however go very early or very late for dinner as the crowds can get insane.

    Union Square: Shopping :-(
  • Tip Rating:
  • I suppose most people visiting San Francisco want to do a bit of shopping, well that is most people except for me!!!!! I just loathe shopping. Cant think of anything more boring. But as I was with 'two men' (my husband and our son who was 11 at the time there was no avoiding it. Union Square has lots of shops including a Saks (as you see in the photo) and a large Nike store which thrilled our son.

    There were also lots of places selling jeans and both bought some, as they were about 1/2 the price than we pay in England.

    Union Square: Pretty Much Anything you Want!
  • Tip Rating:
  • Union Square is a great place to shop. You can find designer clothes, great cosmetics (Sephora has a huge store here), kid stuff (Sanrio), etc. I find that anytime I go to SF I end up shopping Union Square. It's easy to walk around, but difficult to park if you are driving in.

    Great cosmetics at Sephora, Hello Kitty stuff at Sanrio, Kenneth Cole always has some great clothing (though expensive). I like to look!

    Depends on the shop. Sephora has some good deals. Kenneth Cole doesn't.

    This area has a bevy of shopping from department stores such as Nordstrom to smaller boutiques such as Birkenstock. An incredible variety of wares sold can be found here as well: Apple computers, Williams Sonoma kitchen merchandise, the Levi Strauss store (which will custom make a pair of jeans for you), Tiffany's, and Niketown to name a few. A cable car line ends here so getting here is no problem at all, however, getting back on the cable car to go elsewhere can be a bit of a wait. Fortunately, waiting isn't too boring since you can watch them turn the cable cars around.

    Most of these stores are high priced - don't expect to get a bargain!

    There is a lot of available shopping around Union Square. Avoid rush hour traffic in the area. You can take a cable car on Powell Street.

    You can buy about anything you want. Half price-same day theater tickets are available at a booth in the square.

    Some of the more pricy stores can be found here.
