 | San Francisco Fisherman's Wharf Reviews | Tips 61 - 70 of 85 |  |
I don't know who all of this would appeal to, but it's just one tacky store after another. It may bring good money in to the city, but for anyone who wants to actually see the place they came to visit and not ugly plastic models of landmarks, don't go here.
Head out west towards the ocean, away from the Wharf. You'll come to the Marina eventually, which is very pretty and offers wonderful views of the Golden Gate Bridge. There are several buses that run the route is the 1Km walk is not to your liking.
If you want somewhere that's still very open to accepting tourists, yet has more flavor and interest to it, go to the Powell Street and Union Square area. Lots more to see. Leave a Comment

 | |  |  | Fisherman's Wharf: Fisherman's Wharf - Meeting point for tourists! | |  |  | |  |
Is Fisherman's Wharf a must visit or a tourist trap to avoid? Let's explain our vision. Fisherman's Wharf was the base of a rather large fishing fleet up untill the 1940s. Now it's the place to be if you like all kinds of tourists attractions, seefood restaurants with waterfront views, et cetera. It is loosely defined as the area Ghirardelli Square (near Pier 41) and Pier 35. Of course we went to Fisherman's Wharf, by Cable Car and intended not to stay long. But in some we liked it as well. We rapidly learned that there were more things to see in San Francisco than this meeting point for tourists. But we also did realize that it is not just about the more established attractions and shops. There are plenty of sidewalk activities taking place. We enjoyed the street performers including: artists, musicians, craft makers, magicians, human robots, you name it! Keep an eye open for the "Bushman" who for the last 25 years has some branches to hide behind on the sidewalk to surprise and welcome passres by. Address: Beach Street and the Embarcadero, Fisherman's Wharf, San Francisco, CA 94109. Directions: It is loosely defined as the area Ghirardelli Square (near Pier 41) and Pier 35.
See the sea lions.
Sorry...maybe it's also a must-see? Leave a Comment
