Top neighbourhoods in San Francisco

Fisherman\'s Wharf which includes street scenes as well as a small group of people

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 featuring street scenes

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.

Getting around couldn't be easier with Yerba Buena-Moscone Station and several other transit stops connecting you to the entire city.

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.
