Top neighbourhoods in San Francisco

Fisherman's Wharf

Fisherman's Wharf dazzles with classic San Francisco sights and sounds that'll make your camera work overtime. Sea lions bark and sunbathe at Pier 39 while street performers turn pavements into stages. The Aquarium of the Bay lets you walk under sharks, and historic ships at Hyde Street Pier whisper tales of maritime adventures. Grab a steaming sourdough bowl of clam chowder or fresh Dungeness crab from waterfront eateries that range from casual to upscale. Hotels with bay views provide perfect crash pads after long days of exploration. Getting around is simple with multiple bus lines, the iconic cable car terminus, and wide pedestrian areas perfect for strolling.

Nob Hill

Perched atop one of San Francisco's famous hills, Nob Hill flaunts its old-money swagger with grand hotels and Gothic architecture. Grace Cathedral's spires reach skyward while cable cars rattle past mansions that seem frozen in time. You can spend hours exploring the Cable Car Museum or wandering through Huntington Park's manicured gardens with their ornate fountains and spectacular city views. Hotel bars serve craft cocktails alongside piano melodies, and upscale restaurants offer white-tablecloth dining experiences. Getting around is a breeze with three metro stops and those iconic cable cars connecting you to city centre and Chinatown. The steep streets might leave you breathless, but the panoramic vistas make every climb worth it.

Union Square

Union Square delivers San Francisco's most electric shopping scene, where luxury flagships and department stores surround a bustling central plaza. Street performers entertain beside the towering Dewey Monument while theatre marquees promise evening shows. Cable cars clang past historic hotels and designer boutiques, creating a vibrant urban energy that feels distinctly San Francisco. Getting around couldn't be easier with the Powell Street cable car terminus and nearby metro stops connecting you everywhere. Upscale hotel restaurants and rooftop lounges dominate the dining scene. Choose between luxury historic hotels or boutique properties for your stay, all within steps of world-class shopping and entertainment.

Mission District

The Mission District pulses with colourful murals that tell stories of Latino heritage and artistic rebellion. On weekends, locals sprawl across Dolores Park with skyline views and picnic spreads. Wander down 24th Street to discover authentic taquerias, quirky boutiques, and the historic Mission Dolores, San Francisco's oldest building. Getting around is a breeze with two BART stations and several bus lines connecting you to city centre. Hip cafes and lively bars along Valencia Street make perfect spots for people-watching, while the neighborhood's mix of Victorian homes and street art creates a vibe that's both gritty and charming.

South of Market

SoMa packs San Francisco's artistic spirit into a area that's constantly reinventing itself. Converted warehouses now house cutting-edge galleries while SFMOMA's towering glass facade invites you to explore world-class contemporary art. Oracle Park brings baseball energy to the bay, and Yerba Buena Gardens offers a peaceful green escape from the urban buzz. Getting around couldn't be easier with Yerba Buena-Moscone Station and several other transit stops connecting you to the entire city. The restaurant scene ranges from food trucks to upscale dining in industrial-chic spaces. Most visitors stay in modern hotels or boutique properties housed in historic buildings with architectural character.

Top landmarks in San Francisco

Alcatraz Island

9.0/5 (10,647 reviews)

Our travellers also love the art galleries and museums in the area – your sightseeing tour starts here. San Francisco has other landmarks that you might want to visit, such as Golden Gate Bridge.

San Francisco and related destinations

Fog rolls across the Golden Gate Bridge while cable cars clank up impossibly steep hills lined with candy-colored Victorian houses. At Pier 39, sea lions bark and pose as if auditioning for wildlife documentaries. The Mission's muralists transform walls into canvases while locals debate which taqueria serves the definitive burrito. Alcatraz broods in the bay, its audio tour narrated by former guards and inmates. Golden Gate Park hides surprises around every bend – Japanese gardens, actual bison, and museums where you could happily lose an afternoon. For the best city views, skip the tourist crowds at Lombard Street and head to Twin Peaks, where the whole magnificent bay panorama unfolds at your feet.

Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf

Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf

10/10 Excellent

"This place is a great value, the rooms are spacious, and the breakfast is the real deal. Highly recommended!"

The Pickwick Hotel

The Pickwick Hotel

8/10 Good

"The room was decent for the price, and the customer service was excellent. Its location near the Moscone Center is highly convenient. On my first day, the A/C made strange noises that kept me awake, but the maintenance team responded quickly and fixed it. Note that the climate control is manual, not automated; guests cannot switch between heating and cooling themselves. A maintenance worker must do it for you, and they are only available from 9 AM to 10 PM. Given that the hotel is 100 years old, this setup is understandable, and they have maintained the property well. The bathroom was clean. The refrigerator also made a strange buzzing sound, but I resolved it by unplugging it. Overall, it is a fine place to stay if you just need somewhere to sleep and get ready for a conference."
