Fisherman's Wharf Reviews

The most touristy place in San Francisco. There are plenty of souvenir shops, bars and restaurants here. Great for spending an evening

A typical neighborhood, a fantastic atmosphere where it is pleasant to take your time to have a coffee and observe the marina.

One of the symbols and gastronomic icons of the beautiful city of San Francisco is this small pier where you find everything

Went there at lunch time to just see the new wheel installed there and it was amazing!

We walked on Jefferson street and there was a lot of performances on the road. There are small stores selling cotton candies, hot dog, drinks and souvenirs.

There were a few guys dancing and singing too! we stopped there for a good 30 mins to enjoy our show and we dropped some tips for them for the good show. It's really hot in SF today and I really admire their determination.

We got on the wheel and enjoy the view from the top of the wheel and it's so relaxing. We were slowly travelling up to the top and the whole process is simply enjoyment. I highly recommend the Ferris wheel trip if anyone is in SF. I heard they change places once in a while so I'm not sure will the wheel still be here next time if anyone is visiting the Wharf.

We visited the Boudin Bakery & cafe on our way back and it was huge. You can see the process of the bread making, all the dough and smell the bread a miles far. This is a really good experience and relaxing meal after the wheel just under the sun and enjoy.

Anyway, I enjoyed my trip to the Wharf today and it's simply amazing.

Although still a tourist attraction it is not what it once was. The famous Alioto's Restaurant is closed and Fisherman's Grotto soon will be. We did have bread chowder bowls for lunch and walked along the water's edge. We stumbled upon on took a 2 hour boat tour on the Bay called Bridge to Bridge. It was a beautiful clear sunny day with mild wind. A surprise for December.

Great service by Ancelvo! Wonderful food!! Got the stuffed fish. Awesome onion rings! Beautiful view! We can’t wait to come back!!

Everything you would expect from this type of attraction. Fast food, jewellery, souvenirs and a shop which just sells……..socks!

I travel to SFO once a year at least for business and I always go to the Fisherman's Wharf. The great restaurants and atmosphere of the Wharf are a must go.

Highly recommend this hotel, the location cannot be beat, the staff are great, the breakfast room although busy is well run and operated by the staff.
The cleanliness of the room was superb! Mia was our housekeeper for the 4 nights that we were there and she was so friendly. She spoke to us each and every time we left our room! She's a keeper, a real gem!
The location is great too, just a block from Fisherman's Wharf and the Big Bus.
Great gym too, we used it several times.
Would highly recommend this hotel to others!!

There is something for everyone here. Restaurants, souvenir shops, street artists and of course sea lions. An absolute must in San Francisco.

I had seen the Fisherman's wharf poster sign so many times on TV and always wanted to visit it. Yes there are lots of restaurants. Great fish restaurants to choose from. Do not miss it

Nice place to take photos and shop for souvenir. Be careful of pickpockets and it was beautiful at sunset.

Had my first funnel cake here, and the best pizza outside of Italy! But don't misunderstand me, this is a seafood Mecca, and the atmosphere is amazing, including other tourists and San Francisco natives make this cultural hotspot an absolute must!

Fisherman's Wharf is fantastic! Everything you would want is there, even a Buddhist shop which is my style. Look it up online and see what they have to offer.

Lots of eating places with some shops selling clothes cheaper than pier 39 good walks by the water. Outlets for hiring bikes and three wheelers cars for sightseeing and the main office for the hop on off bus company

One of the most visited spots in SF, Fisherman’s Wharf has it all - a vibrant atmosphere, energetic crowds, restaurants & lovely views of the sea!

We went there to eat and the food was amazing. We also ate tacos from a vender on the street and it was amazing as well.

I expected more…. There are quite a few shops selling souvenirs. A few restaurants.
Busy Saturday and Sunday,
Good views of Alcatraz and Golden Gate.
Boats trips from here
I would suggest a visit

Several restaurants have shuttered; disappointed in seeing so much trash. Hoping for revitalization.

I tried its famous cram chowder 3 times during my stay with different restaurant. They are all so yummy! They are in a bread bowl and very big. You should try crab chowder as well.

We didn't like Fisherman's Wharf, it was very touristy and a bit tacky, typical souvenir shops and arcades etc.

Touristy but a must visit. See the seals sunbathing on the harbor platforms.
Lots of shops to eat and drink.
Average in quality.
American classics.
Lots of people from the early lunch hours until the late afternoon.
Be careful with parking in the surrounding area.

Overall, me and my family had a blast and had a short distance from fishermen's wharf. This gave us an opportunity to walk around and be the best family we can be. Why do I have to write 200 minimum words? I'm not writing an essay, buddy. Just let me state an opinion.

Has always been a bit of a seedy tourist attraction, but it has gotten worse. Many shops and restaurants are closed down, apparently permanently. Many restaurants stunk of sewage. Homeless people approach you with all kinds of scams, and the religious fanatics are everywhere with microphones. If you ignore them they make fun of you. Pier 39 is overrun with t-shirt shops and junk souvenirs, as well as people. We couldn't get out of there fast enough.

And there were only three sea lions (one was a baby and another was swimming around). Really nothing to see there.

I went to take photos of this famous symbol that everyone has seen at least once.

Before I visited, I thought this was the only thriving area,
but in fact, there are endless shops along the road from Aquatic Park to Pier 39,
so the area where the symbol is located seemed smaller than I expected.

But there were just as many people there as at Pier 39.
I went into the Bourdain shop nearby.

Lots of restaurants and shops/ souvenir shops to visit. Nice walk and great views of the bay. A must see.

After visiting last month for several days, those who are frequent visitors to Fisherman's Wharf, especially Pier 45, will be disappointed by the current look of the location. There were 6 major restaurants boarded up - Alioto's, 9 Fisherman's Grotto, Pompei's Grotto, Lou's Fish Shack, Castagnola's and Tarantino's - several outside places empty and many retail locations shut down or relocated. Several locations are still holding pat like Boudin's, The Crab Station, Ciopinno's, The Franciscan, Frankie's Pier 43, Sabella & LaTorre, Nick's Lighthouse, The Chowder Hut and Applebee's. The size of the portions have been reduced, especially at Frankie's with their famous "Fishwich Sandwich" and Fish & chips and the prices have been jacked up. Dungeness crab prices are around $35/lb,, oysters are $4 each. Applebee's is the only location other than In-N- Out that is open after 7 or 8 O'clock and they have "Late-nite Happy Hour" after 9PM until closing around midnight. There's always more places at Pier 39.

Not being a fan of souvenir shops, it didn't make a great impression on me. The best things about Fisherman's Wharf are the wide gastronomic offer and the friendliness of the sea lions.

The Fishermans Wharf is an open accessible area, which consists of a number of piers, shops, restaurants, bars and attractions. The Ferris wheel usually looks empty, is quite defining. Luckily it doesn't really have a fairground feel. The best part is at the end of pier 39, where a large group of sea lions is woven together on decking making noise. For photos it is best to come in the morning, otherwise you have backlighting which is difficult with dark animals.
Also nice views of Alcatraz and the Golden Gate bridge.

This place became iconic since the sign for the wharf is here. Whole wharf has been changed into a tourist spot so it’s cool looking with lots of activities. Modern cable car has also a stop here. See images further reference.

Fisherman's Wharf is clean and fun! The city has put a ton of effort into cleaning up this area and bringing it back to life...we walked all over the wharf and pier 39 for 3 days and had a blast. Make sure and go to Scoma's...awesome food and they have been there for years and years.

Mythical places to do day and night, full of shops, restaurants. Nice view of the bridge, prison and sea lions

Famous waterfront in San Francisco. Well-known for the 'collection' of sea lions which inhabit the end of Pier 39.

Lots to see and do. Great cruises around the Bay available. Loads of nice shopping opportunities. Large selection of good-quality places to eat.

Doesn't seem to be so troubled by the beggars that one encounters downtown.

Overall, Fisherman's Wharf was a little tired. It needs some cleaning up. That being stated, there are some good restaurants and food vendors. As well, the gift stores are actually worth perusing.

It is still iconic and worth a visit. Would recommend.

Coming from the United Kingdom, we found this area to be a little disappointing and somewhat of a tourist trap

We came to celebrate Fathers Day and I couldn’t be happier with the whole experience. Our server Krista was great and she recommended a special that they had, and it was so good!!! Highly recommend Fisherman’s Wharf!!

Tourguide was very knowledgeable and friendly. We coverd the ins and ou5s of the warff and what felt like a true experience. Would definitely recommend to others.

Iconic area with clam chowder everywhere, piers for ocean views. Boudin bakery for sourdough also a highlight.
Unfortunately cleanliness, restroom availability and the amount of the homeless - drug induced individuals do tarnish the fun.

Suggest the stakeholders balance the tourist $ with paying to clean and maintain the area rather than profiteering.

Our hotel was in Fisherman's Wharf so we spent a lot of time there. The main street by the sea led from Ghirardelli Square to Pier 39 and was full of shops, cafes and restaurants and had a great vibe. We walked around both day and night and bar one weirdo, we felt completely safe and were never bothered. There was quite a few American cars cruising up and down in the early evenings which were cool to see and didn't cause any bother. Such a lovely place, and so picturesque with the views of the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz and all the boats bobbing around on the water.

Walking the Fisherman Wharf is beautiful
Of course there is Pier 39 with its restaurants and tourist shops, but also the sea lions, the view of the bay, the Golden Gate, the benevolent atmosphere, etc...

This place is amazing - ok - it’s very touristy but still well worth a visit. The first thing you will hear are the sea lions - they are incredible and always available for a photo opportunity. The wharf area has a really great range of stores and food outlets - there’s literally something for everyone. Allow a couple of hours. Will definitely come back on my next visit.

a very pleasant place to walk day and night, a pier by the water built on stilts, restaurants, bars and souvenir shops, sometimes people make small concerts there it is a place to walk, hyper friendly and reassuring relaxation

Enjoyed the dining experience and many options available. Spent the whole day there. Best to shop around for sales as some souvenir shops are expensive again alot of options. The sea lions were a must see and we enjoyed watching them for a time. Some very good street entertainers. Easy access to tour boats and buses etc. On a downside a couple of rest rooms we used were filthy and reeked of urine and Marijuana which was not nice so didn't use. They need more restrooms that have attendants to keep clean.

A San Francisco must-see
And this is where the cruises to Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge take place.
Otherwise there are plenty of restaurants and small souvenir shops
Friendly and safe walk

Excellent place to visit we were lucky and were therr during Fleet Week tbe service men in tbeir uniforms so smart and proud and it was good to see how respected they are. Lots of things to do and see at the Wharf and a must place to visit in San Francisco get more of an experience and take the trolley tram

2nd time here in 15 years and it seems like it has gotten even better. This is a place that you can spend an entire day here. To me this is the heart of San Francisco!

Great place to socialize with friends and/or business colleagues. Many choices to grab some delicious food as well as only chat with a few drinks.

The vibe of Fisherman's Wharf makes it what it is.
Street vendors, food stalls and resident street entertainers make the atmosphere. You also have many restaurants to choose from to eat, breakfast, lunch and dinner.

After many recommendations we added a 2.5 day stop in the city, Fisherman’s Wharf area, as part of our US road trip. We visited from the UK. Overall the city was a disappointment. On our first evening in Fisherman’s we witnessed a car pull up alongside a stationary vehicle, a guy jump out, smashed the windows, stole some bags and sped off. Passersby didn’t bat an eyelid. The following day we witnessed multiple shop lifting. The staff were aware but didn’t act. Clearly this is par for the course in SF. The city has a massive homeless problem and many are drugged up statues or crazily shouting at people in the street. We watched one homeless guy drag his duvet over tourists food as they sat outside a restaurant. The city is pretty dirty, litter everywhere but it is windy in fairness. All this and we were only there 2 nights and stayed in the main tourist areas!
It’s not all bad, the backdrop against GG bridge is great, especially for sunsets. We cycled the bridge (itself wasn’t so great - a very noisy and fast highway) but Sausalito beyond was very nice, we got the overpriced ferry back. Drove to Muir Woods which was great but way overpriced.
It was great to see the sea lions, visit the piers, go to Alcatraz and enjoy the bars and restaurants but overall this is a city that feels like it’s in decline and has clear big city problems. In hindsight we’d have skipped it or maybe done a single day. No desire to go back.

Highlights:
- good food
- beautiful sunsets against GG bridge backdrop
- Sausalito
- Muir woods
- Alcatraz
Bad points:
- massive homeless / drugs problems
- crime
- feels edgy / unsafe at night
- basically no police presence
- super expensive (add tax, healthcare tax and a 20% tip and your bill for food has circa 35% on top!)
- dirty (litter everywhere)
- everything is overpriced
- no social inclusivity
- all a bit of a ‘one eyed show’, all the main built attractions (GG bridge, painted ladies, Lombard St, etc) are generally unimpressive.

A typical tourist spot in San Francisco. It has a view of the harbor and is lined with restaurants and shops.
You can also go to the Golden Gate Bridge from here.
It doesn't have that sea smell like Japan, so it's pleasant to stroll around.
There are many nice residential areas nearby, so it's nice to walk, even though there are many slopes.
There are food stalls even on weekdays, so it's lively.

multiple vendors, food and shopping, fun experience, walking distance from the wharf to many destinations

The wharf has many places to visit or eat and drink at. Walking around it is free unless you buy things.

This is probably one of the most touristic places in San Francisco, and while it has some charm, you are better off taking good care of your belongings, avoiding scammers and don't wander around the area after dark, as it feels VERY unsafe.
There are countless shops and restaurants in the area - some good, but mostly just tourist traps.
Don't miss Pier 39, obviously.

Visiting Fisherman's wharf was met with a mix of pros and cons. The pros- great views, pier 39 and good food. Extremely nice people whereever we went. The cons include the area appearing ran down from the last time I visited. The homeless population has increased significantly. We had one incident with a homeless man that ran up on me, yelling and making verbal threats. He turned out to be harmless, however the incident was terrifying. I was very concerned with the lack of police presence in the area. Most likely, I will not stay in the Fisherman's wharf area on my next trip.

The quintessential food and souvenir shopping area of the bay, with Sea Lion viewing thrown in.

Plenty of restaurants offering local dishes, such as Clam Chowder and Dungeness Crab, along with other seafood, and fast food options.

Plenty of shops to buy yourself a reminder of your trip.

Nice walk along the front from here past the other ports toward the centre of the city.

Super-busy on a Saturday afternoon/evening. Lots to see (including the sea lions) and some fantastic shopping. Little open upstairs - possibly as we were there end of season?

Honestly not that bad after the "Golden" bridge but i got to admit i rented a boat with the misses and the kids and went fishing even caught a fish then i dropped the kids and the misses off and went off with the lads had a couple of beers and slept on the boat

June'22 was our second visit to San Francisco (1st being in 2014) and boy have things changed!. A number of shops / restaurants on the Wharf are now closed and there seemed to be very little in the way of hustle and bustle. Totally different from pre-covid.

A beautiful day in this village by the sea.
Lots of souvenir shops, sweets, fast food and rides.
Particular are the sea lions resting on the docks in the marina.
We had lunch at a fish restaurant near the entrance and I would say not bad.
Easy to get there by bus or cable car (train on rails).

It’s been a few years since we’ve been at the wharf. We’ve been here four times and 40 years. It’s still fun beautiful weather, breezy, sunny, cool wind enjoyed everything it was clean and not a lot of crazy people

This is listed as a major attraction in the city and i understand the history, but essentially it is a mixture of souvenir retail and restaurants without the pleasant style of Pier 39.

If you look behind the main buildings you will still find the wharf and quite a number of fishing boats.

The Fisherman’s Wharf is one of the places to visit in San Fransisco. You can spend almost all day over there by shopping, sittin and having somethings at the restaurants and bars. You can also have many choices to take pictures and learning much about the history of San Fransisco marine commerce.

This is where it all happens from all the restaurants, bars, shops, tours boats and Pier 39 watching the sea lions. It has such a fantastic vibe and definitely the place to be.

Very close to the Cruise ports, so it's easy to walk here from disembarking ship. It's not easy to work out which part is the actual "Fishermans Wharf" - it's a couple of roads around Jefferson Street. Most of the shops are the typical tourist gift shops with imported cheap goods (hoodies, baseball caps, fridge magnets) but there are a few exceptions where you can find better quality brands and more american souvenirs. If you're bored with shopping there are some great activities worth visiting (and I've provided separate reviews for) including the Museum of 3D Illusions, the Aquarium on the Bay, and Rileys (although we didn't visit this one) - we heard good stuff about it. There are plenty of restaurants, cafes and bars to enjoy so you could spend a good couple of hours here. It's also on the waterfront with views of the Golden Gate Bridge, Bay Bridge, Alcatraz etc.

It is quite a vibrant and joyful region that allows spending high-quality time. It is cheerful and full of tourists. The region includes popular and picturesque piers, malls, shopping outlets, driving small race cars, and several activities. It is one of the best locations to reside and reserve the accommodation.

It is a bit on the touristy side. But there is a lot to do with a free machine museum and the USS Pampanito. They are worth a visit. The views of the bay and bridges are fantastic, pictures can't get the visual effect. Some street performers do set up quickly and are a bit on the loud side with their music.

Definitely worth spending some time here walking around. Lots of restaurants and gift shops. If you enjoy seafood this is the place for you.

I will say first of all, I gave it a 4 because of the cost. San Francisco is very expensive so be prepared
Though the best value was the penny arcade. Arcade machines from the late 1800's to the early 80's
Really good fun
Plenty of places to eat and various tours start from here
Parking if you drive in but that is extremely expensive

We enjoyed an entire afternoon at Fisherman's Wharf here in San Francisco. There is so much do to both day and night. There are lots of great restaurants with very good seafood, great cafes, lots and lots of shops, tours that leave from here and or just enjoy the scenery of the bay. Parking is a bit tricky as there are few multi level lots that are full, and they claim that you can get your parking covered, but restaurants don't want to do it.. Evening is great with all the lights on the pier. Fun for couple hours or entire afternoon.

Glad we chose this as our base in San Francisco. Close
To Alcatraz tours, Golden Gate Bridge and pier 39. Would
Defo recommend a visit if you’re not staying in the area

Some restaurants and eateries but otherwise not very special. Foodwise not very upscale food. There are other better places to go.

This is a lovely boardwalk experience with a built in aquarium and ferris wheel. Huge souvenir shops with reasonably priced gifts. I took both a cable car and a streetcar ride.

The was the best tour ever, and we have done many in SF. So much to learn about Fisherman's Wharf, even though we have visited dozens of times.

Beautiful place . I arrived by cable car (13 dollars return). It is a rather long street with many shops, places to eat, music. Fish at will. Crab is very good food. Pier 39 you will find beached sea lions. A beautiful image and right there on the upper floor there is a restaurant with wooden tables where they make phenomenal crab. The oysters are also delicious. The prices in the shops are not exactly cheap, considering that it is a very touristy place. The bubble shop is also very nice (all natural soaps and body products). Go there!! Good fun

Does not give the authentic feeling of a place of importance that it probably once had.

Allt of restaurants and ALLT of tourists. But nevertheless its a place you feel you need to experience when visiting SF.

Had a excellent lunch at one of many good seafood restaurants.

Yes it’s a tourist trap and a little pricey…but it’s worth visiting. If nothing else to see the sea lions! But it had great views of Alcatraz, lots of little shops to explore, and had a tacky carnival vibe. It shouldn’t be the only thing you do on a visit to SF, but drop in and check it out. There’s decent food options, plenty to walk and see, and nice ocean breezes.

We loved coming back to our old haunts here in Fisherman's Wharf. There is so much to see and the food is outstanding. Despite COVID we made our way back and the atmosphere didn't disappoint. There are a bunch of great restaurants to choose from for breakfast, lunch and dinner. All are great.

I can only agree with Amigo 066, it is far too crowded, set up like a fair, very expensive and very dirty. On top of that, the homeless have spread out as far as Pier 39. The street vendors are very pushy. You should be careful not to let your belongings out of your sight. Once was enough, there is no need to go again.

Nice wharf to walk about-and many stores to browse and buy things, parking is a bit pricy-lots of choices to eat at.

If you are in San Francisco it is definitely a destination to do.
We arrived to embark for Alcatraz and once back from the visit, we visited the main part with the places where to have lunch right next to the sea lions (Pier 39) and we did the whole walk.
We had little time but in my opinion it is to be enjoyed more slowly; there are several shops where to buy souvenirs and where to eat.
Recommended.

You see it in the movies, so it's on your wish list when on a Californian road trip.
It appears very run down, could do with a lick of paint and updating.
Restaurants and shops are ok.
Theres a bakery there and the smell of the bread being baked was lovely.

It's a tourist haunt and, I suppose, a must do if visiting San Francisco. Even if it's in the rain and for the sake of getting a selfie with the sign.

For us, its plus is the other things that are close by, included are: Boudin's for it's iconic Sourdough bread and its Clam Chowder in a Sourdough bread bowl, a couple of iconic San Francisco cable car lines, Ghirardelli Square, and an In-n-Out burger.

Specifically for our family, it's home to many, many souvenir shops that lets us play our usual game in which we compete to see who can find the tackiest souvenir.

Fisherman's Wharf is easy to get to by SF public transit i.e., the Muni. It's served by many bus, streecar, cablecar, and trolley lines. From there you can easily get to other tourist destinations such as Pier 39/Embarcadaro, Lombard St., Chinatown, and so on.

Enjoy, just don't expect a lot beyond lots of opportunity to separate you from your money.

As always is fun with live music, great food and all the shopping you can imagine.
Great restaurants overlooking the water. This is a place you have to visit if you’re in San Francisco.
I found a nice secured parking lot for $25 flat fee just a block away.

So much more than Pier 39. The Wharf offers shopping, eating, an aquarium, street performers, art work and so much more. Come for an hour or stay for the day...you won't be disappointed

Vast tourist area overlooking the bay; it extends from the legendary Pier 39 to Ghirardelli's Square and wherever you go you will find a restaurant ready to refresh you.
The walk it offers is really pleasant, especially on a sunny day, among the multitude of people and streetcars whizzing and ringing along the road.
Highly recommended place to stay even though it is far from the center of San Francisco

This is the main tourist centre for the city. The tours of the bay all leave from here and there is an abundance of shops and restaurants - well worth a visit!

If you want to see sea lions, this is THE place. That was my number one goal for visiting and we saw 100+ sea lions on the Thursday before Labor Day. There were no crowds. However, we went back on Sunday of Labor Day weekend around 11am and it was busy, but not overcrowded. Still plenty of parking.

If you want to have lunch with a view of the sea lions, check out Crabby Jim’s on hen wharf. Excellent water views and great food.

We were told the abundance of sea lions is unusual due to an influx of sharks in the bay, but that you should still be able to see them any time. The stores are touristy, so we skipped that. Go for the views and clam chowder!

It is really sad to see Fishermans Wharf these days. Its now a shadow of its former self, with most of the big, long-standing restaurants now standing empty. Perhaps it will improve again over the next few years but there needs to be serious commitment from the local city council to get it back on its feet.

There where a lot of restaurants at Fisherman’s Wharf. There are countless cuisines l, and include Applebee, and I would recommend you to eat the local “ soup ‘n bread “ restaurant.

Flanked by Pier 39 and the Maritime National Historical Park, Fisherman’s Wharf is the San Fran neighborhood you won’t miss on a tourist trip to the city. It’s one of my favorite places to go, and while my recent visit was brief, I will certainly return.

Intereating area and lots of different things going on. Restaurants bars and shops. Great views of the bay. Worth a visit.

Besides the Aquarium, there is nothing to see here. Well, maybe some homeless people sleeping in the parking lot or in a tent next to the restrooms.

A must-visit attraction when traveling to San Francisco. The shops here are diversified and it is a suitable place for walking, seeing the scenery, tasting delicious food, and buying tourist souvenirs. Can't stay too late though.

People are going to say it's very touristy, everything is overpriced, and there's not much about it that's very unique. This is all true, however, if you want a place to walk and buy cheesy souvenirs, and maybe find a place to eat for that one picky person that is hard to please, then this spot does just fine.

This is the major touristic point in San Francisco. There are good restaurants, many little shops… this us a must go place to stroll at least once.

We Love Fishermans Wharf. At least twice each San Francisco Vacation we visit Fisherman's Wharf for Dinner. The Clam Chowder in a Fresh Baked Sourdough Bread Bowl is a Meal unto itself. For our Main Course Lobster is one of our many Favourites.

We stayed at Fishermans wharf and enjoyed walking the area daily. There are great shops and restaurants and of course the sea lions! well worth a visit

Used to love this place! But after the pandemic, everything changed. Many stores closed, but few new places open. Will go to another attraction instead. SF tourism is slowly picking up, maybe soon the international tourists come back, and this famous place will awake again. :)

Best wishes!

Must see visit, went to the battle ship, submarine and walked along for great street food. Lots of street acts going on and souvenirs to buy

Get down here and experience what it has to offer. Visit Alcatraz too as its well worth the time. Will take a few hours to do it properly

I guess every major city has its main tourist spot with tacky souvenirs, over-priced snacks, and crowds. If you're bound and determined to do it, make sure to include Ghiradelli Square and a visit to the Balclutha while you're there.

I have not been here in 10 years or more, and I noticed some changes, like a few places that are closed and some used to be icons in the area. The area is great for a walk, and it has plenty of eateries, regular shops, souvenir shops (keep an eye on prices here), as well as some specialty shops like the candy store It's Sugar and other known ones. From here you can take a boat to the famous Alcatraz jail, see the sea lions on the docks (if you are lucky, I was not this time), walk to Pier 39 with its stores, see the 2 story carousel (the only 2 story one I have seen myself so far), and end up in Ghirardelli Square for a taste of excellent chocolate products

A must-visit spot in San Francisco, filled with seafood stands, unique shops, and waterfront views. Be mindful of the time you visit, as many shops open at 10 a.m., so arriving later ensures a fuller experience. From fresh clam chowder in sourdough bowls to fun souvenir shops, there’s something for everyone. Don’t miss the chance to spot sea lions or enjoy views of the Bay!

This is a must see in San Francisco, with lots of bars and restaurants and the typical trams.
Do not miss the turning table where manually trams are rotated to change direction.
Good spot for pictures and memories

You must take in the sights of Fisherman's Wharf. There are a lot of shops and good restaurants. Also, a lot of bus tours begin/end in this area.

First impressions smells dirty, looks dirty, is dirty with a lot of homeless people on the streets.
Restaurants are all a little bit grubby with not a lot of variety, beers are very expensive too although it has to be said most places have a good selection of beers.

Despite the wonderful setting this area is dirty, run down and has too many people. It needs a complete revamp to bring it up to date as it all feels tired and dated. The food offerings are much as you’d expect - all selling the same poor quality over priced food. Multiple places selling clam chowder, over priced and over rated. And gift shops selling the usual rubbish that will end up in landfill. Didn’t feel safe here and couldn’t wait to leave.

I honestly don't understand those that would recommend avoiding this place.. as a "tourist trap." I find this place wonderful and classic. It does get crowded but it is worth it. The water here is beautiful along with the fun sea lions. Shops are super cute and there are nice restaurants to be found here.

Fisherman’s Wharf in San Francisco felt underwhelming during my visit. Much of the area was closed, with only about a third of the shops and attractions open. The vibrant atmosphere the Wharf is known for just wasn’t there anymore. Perhaps it’s more lively and enjoyable outside of the winter season.

Not as great as i remember. I'm assuming the past two covid years has really affected SF. The wharf was ok but not much to do or see. I remember it being bustling with tourists and the fish market being amazing. Not so much anymore. Things look run down, a lot is closed and out of business. A lot of souvenir shops that look different but are actually the same and sell the same stuff. Took two boats. One sailed around Alcatraz and the other went over to Salsalito. Those were fun. Just to get out on the water. We were there for 5 days, we could have done everything in SF that we wanted to do in 2 or 3. So many places seem to have gone out of business. very sad

Good for walking, eating, drinking, shopping souvenirs, visiting the submarine and ship of World War II (American) etc...

If you are ever in San Francisco this is the place to go. Fisherman wharf has plenty of entertainment, shopping, restaurants and you can even watch the sea lions. You can hop on a trolley or bus there to bring you to other places in San Francisco. The Muni is the way to go. Buy one, three or five day pass it is worth it. I didn’t understand what others meant by muni pass. When I figured it out I found it was easy to use. Download the app. Fisherman wharf has everything you want to see.

I always thought Fishermans Wharf was going to be lots of fish mongers but found none. All there were was tourist shopping and lots of little restaurants. Every menu we looked at was very expensive. Glad we went but it was not for us.

Very lively neighborhood, very nice, lots of activities and very touristy shops, departure of the ferry and bike rental to cross the San Francisco bridge, I recommend

Very nice area
Good atmosphere with a lot of seafood restaurants.
Prices are a bit steep here, but all in all a very good experience.

SO much to see and do , you could spend the day or just a few hours. Lots of cool shops and restaurants and a cool museum with old games. Old ship and lots of sealions

Great for a wander, bit of shopping and some food. Plenty to see and do. The Alcatraz shop has better goodie than on the island itself.

An area with shops, restaurants and street entertainment. Also the terminus for the hop on and off bus and the Trolly Bus hub. Be aware that restaurants close at 9.00 pm, even the bar and restaurant in the Argonaut Hotel. Worth a visit.

I spent very little time here because these sort of places are in most big tourist locations throughout the country. Similar restaurants, souvenirs shops, rides, laser tag places, candy shops etc. They are all very similar and when I travel I like more of a unique experience. With that being said, I did see the sea lions and had lunch a Boudins. I needed to walk by to pick up my rental bike and to get in line for the cable cars, and it looked crazy crowded. Not my thing, but it may be yours.

delicious food, nice place to take a walk and get cool pictures. a lot of restaurantes and Cafes and stores.

the square is nice and busy. The restaurant is always busy. you can buy your claim soup to go, the line uses to be for 5-10 persons. Was good but nothing extraordinary. I think every locations offer the same soup with the same quality.

Surely a necessary part of a trip to San Francisco. With so many activities on offer there will be something for everyone.

We went in the spring before the big tourist rush which was nice, but we also forgot about Mother's day so it was a busy day at the Warf. We strolled along the sidewalk and were able to see a lot of things, but it was so full of street vendors selling weird stuff and "musicians" with boom boxes playing at top volume. It was very annoying to have to walk around the people and talk over their "live" music. We did get to see the crab and seal topiaries, the ships, and Alcatraz in the distance as well as stop to have lunch at one of my favorite places, the Franciscan. After lunch, we walked the rest of the way to Ghirridelli so we could get some chocolate to bring home. It was a long walk, but it was made longer by the street buskers.

The two stars go for breakfast included and also rich, and the location near Pier 39, for the rest the small room and bathroom absolutely unworthy, bathtub with curtain unacceptable to me.

We did 3 nights here for the start of our West coast road trip.
Hotel was spotless, room was good and fully equipped. Place was kept clean and tidy, hotel has a coffee place which does cakes and bagels etc. well equipped gym and pool.
Breakfast was far more than I expected, a Buffett style with fresh fruit, cakes, bagels, cereals and hot food including bacon, egg, sausage, potato’s of sorts, fresh fruit juices, hams, cheeses, amazing choice and a good start to the day.
Location is great if you want to be close to Pier 39/Fisherman’s wharf
Personally I would rather have stayed up by the Golden Gate Bridge as it was cleaner, prettier looking and less cheap seaside resort.
An uber to the bridge cost $20 ish, a brilliant experience and surrounding areas were superb.
We crossed over the bridge and went into Sausalito which was a beautiful quaint little town with shops, restaurants and a pier, right on the sea front. a short drive once over the bridge, we got the ferry back which come every few hours and takes you back to pier 39.
Alcatraz is a surreal experience and would highly recommend, I’d advise doing the audio tour which is really insightful.
We took the tram to union square which is a must, as you can’t do San Fran without doing a tram ride.
Food places, id recommend the cheesecake factory at the top of Maceys and fog harbour is located at pier 39, if you fancy a bit fancier, it overlooks the water and ambience is lovely.
Overall a lovely stay,

It was a very busy area while we were here, but it was worth taking the time to see it. It had several photogenic areas

It is one of San Francisco main landmarks, amongst many!
Take your time to walk around & see the 100s of sea lions lying on their decks.
Don't forget to try the world famous Boudin Bakery for its soup!

Great location for photos, local food, and tourist attractions! I captured some street photos during a client photoshoot that show the grit and determination of the local fishermen. It's a must visit for anyone visiting the area! Chris Conner Photography

Lots of places to eat, some activities to undertake; we did the 4D zombie experience. All a little pricey but a nice way to break the day up.

How breathtakingly beautiful place to have a morning walk..

#travel #solo #nature #naturelovers #loveislove🌈 #california #sanfrancisco #usa

Tourists trap except for the food. Had dinner one night there and it was excellent. Wife had dungeons crab and was excellent. Me, I had shrimp which was also exceptional. Thanks to all

There’s a lot of action in the area. Visit Pier 39 to view the famous Sea Lions. My girlfriend had never seen them and she was amazed. It’s so cool to see all these animals sunbathing and staying there with humans spying on them all the time. The area is great for them, they came in years ago and where tolerated, nowadays they are protected which is why we can enjoy there presence.

The area is also full of restaurants and boutiques so you can find all you need in one place.

The area is a long series of Piers you can walk along the bay side if you don’t feel like climbing one of the numerous hills of the city.

‘Twas ok. Lots of typical souvenir places with a few very original ones thrown in to make it cool (and interesting). Some interesting ones were the rubber ducky store, the left handed store and some gem/mineral places. It was worth visiting just for a walk around after or before Alcatraz.

Fisherman's Wharf had lots of nice souvenir shops and fish restaurants but felt the streets were quite run down with litter and too many homeless people on the streets. With a clean up and lick of paint it could be so much better!

A comfortable stroll for couples, families....everyone..... featuring iconic San Francisco sea food restaurants, stores, bars, exhibits, the marina (you can rent a boat and captain for a three hour tour of the bay area). Trolley's and buses stop at the Wharf. Parking garages nearby.

Lovely vibrant visit the choc shop and call for a Ben and jerrys ice cream although disappointing no tasting testers 😳😳😳😳

lots of tourist shopping and good restaurants. Very busy during the day until about 6pm. less people around then.

Fisherman's Wharf is an amazing place to be, regardless of the day. The wonderful shops are something you should definitely check out. The seafood here is incredible!

One of the top tourist attractions of San francisco. A fairly large area with restaurants, shops, and now a ferris wheel (that they moved from goldrn gate park)

There’s also pier 39 where the sealions are

It is a very nice area to walk, as the terrain is flat and therefore easy to walk.
There are many shops to buy souvenirs and restaurants for all tastes.
The only complicated thing is the parking, we stayed in Ghiraldine Square, it is a little far but still the walk is nice.

The place is really nice, ideal for strolling and shopping. Too bad for us there was only one sea lion!
I really advise you to walk there

Outstanding area.
A lot of fish restaurants gathered on the wharf.
Its a special atmosphere and we visited several restaurants in the area.
The area is fantastic.

Very bustling area with lots of restaurants, some stores and good views. It's just a place to wander along really, don't expect too much

amazing place! Great atmosphere - lots of amazing shops and places to eat! Lots of things to do - really enjoyed it

No need to visit this place until the car break-in issue is solved ... unless you want to repeat the same mistake I made with a broken window and a stolen luggage even in the trunk. Most tourist cities/destinations are well protected, but not this one sadly.

Absolutely loved Fisherman’s Wharf. It has a vast supply of things to do, shops, and restaurants. It served as the “hub” of our trip for the week we were there and it made the entire trip so much more convenient. A 10/10!

This was our 4th trip to the city and Fishermans Wharf in particular - the first for over 10 years. Previously we found the Wharf pretty tacky but basically good fun. Now it comes across as tackier and rather sleazy with it - the major sights of Bourdin, Pier 39 and Ghiradelli Square are still good, but the rest is poor and the number of vacant/closed businesses is echoed also in the centre of the city.

Fisherman's Wharf is rather touristy, but it's a nice spot for a stroll and between many attractions like Pier 39, Ghirardelli Square, and SF Maritime National Historical Park. The main area is centered on Jefferson Street, where there are plenty of shops and restaurants. You can easily get there by cable car or the F Line streetcar.

It is my personal opinion very overrated Fisherman's Wharf in N. America , not much of attraction but lot of variety restaurants gift shops and food stands , plus homeless people and Sealion , totally different in those good old 70's and 80's , is it a Tourist Trap ? but is nice for first time visiting , just beware your surrounding . eat till your drop !

Pier 39 is where the action is. The section from Hyde St. to Powell St. is quite nice with lots to see and do but cannot really compete with Pier 39.

Not a lot to do here, but nice atmosphere with street musicians and a WWII submarine worth the tour at $25/p. Within walking distance with tons of shops to Argonaut hotel and Pier 39!

Enjoyed walking around the Pier. Went into a few shops and enjoyed the day even though it was raining.

We loved the wharf - so much to see and do. We stayed about a mile and a half down the street, so it was nice to be able to walk there. We had booked a bout tour for July 4th, so we came down on the 2nd to scope things out and get some shopping done early when there weren't so many people.

We rode the ferris wheel - which was clean and had great views. You get about 4-5 revolutions, which is plenty to see the sights and get pictures. We even sprang for the cheesy posed photos that actually turned out great and cost about $35.

We ate at Pier Market which was really good - had the bbq shrimp appetizer and the 'mixed grill' that included salmon, a mild whitefish, a shrimp skewer and sides. All were cooked perfectly and service was friendly and fast.

There are tons of shops, and things are reasonably priced which is a nice change in a touristy spot. Whether you want San Fran branded jackets, hats or other apparel, you will find lots of options. Food and snacks galore, including churros, ice cream and fudge. Jewelry shops, specialty shops and an Alcatraz gift shop up on the second level are lots of fun.

There's a sea lion "viewing area" that was very popular. Probably the most crowded area, but people are kind and make room for each other pretty quickly. We saw a ton of them, and several showed off for us, playing, climbing on each other, and braying for us.

We went the week of July 4th, and although it was busy, it never felt too crowded, even on the actual 4th when there were tours going out on the water to watch fireworks. It WAS unseasonably chilly for July. You'll want a jacket and probably a hat. The sun sneaks up on you when it's cold. My husband's head got a little burnt. If you're going out on the water you will really want to layer up. The wind off the water is icy.

We stayed at a hotel only a couple of blocks from the Main Street here, so we were able to spend a fair bit of time here. There is plenty to see and heaps of places to eat. Another iconic location that always seems to have something going on. A must do to visit while in the city.

Must visit in San Francisco and the only part of downtown that is fun and lively. Rest of downtown can be avoided and if have an hour or two is enough to explore, specially if one is doing Alcatraz tour.

Tour was great, Learned a lot of history about beginnings of San Francisco, and about now and then life in San Francisco from "native'. Got a lot of tips what other interesting places to see where to eat

The place is not very nice and everything looks quite dirty. For this reason we did not eat there.
You also see stalls selling anything, people lying around and so on.
Just for a walk to go to Pier 39, it is not a must-see in my opinion.

It was kind of sad to see this area. The homeless and the dirty walkway were disappointing. Not what I was expecting - but the views of the bay are lovely....and you can see Alcatraz Island from the wharf.

This is a vibrant and busy tourist destination. Lots of places to eat. Good views of the Bay, sea lions, and the City.
We checked out a restaurant with a good view of the sea lions sunbathing.

Great place to pick up those souvenirs, grab a good bite to eat, catch a cruise around the bay and just enjoy a fun atmosphere! Easy to get to from Union Square by cable car!

Excellent and peaceful region. Many options for buying gifts and souvenirs, great options for food, drinks, entertainment and sightseeing.

Awesome spot, specially for New Year and July 4th celebrations. Pier 39 has a great view and watching fireworks 🎆 . Great sport for all seasons!

Fisherman's Wharf feels like an add on to Pier 39 and is much smaller, but has an array of shops, restaurants and bars to suit everyone's taste and pocket.

We stayed in a great hotel Riu Plaza but Fishermas Wharf itself was just horrible. Dirty , smelly and loads of homeless. The stretch nearest to us was between pier 33 and 43 Before pier 33 appeared to be cleaner and had lots more grills and eating places, also seemed cleaner from Pier 43. I would go again, but if I did, I think I would stay in Union Square area, Fishermans Wharf was desserted from 9pm, hard to find somewhere to eat except Applebys at that time of night. We caught a street car just around 9pm but he was finishing his shift !

Yep total scam. I was asked up front to and the guy was belloring in the mic .They walked around with 5 gallon buckets begging for money. Never again wasn't that good either

I stopped here late in the afternoon. It was a beautiful day. I had lunch and then watched the sea lions. It was really nice. And it’s a good place for a walk.

We had an amazing time at Fisherman's Wharf! The lively atmosphere and beautiful waterfront views made it perfect for walking around. Our seafood lunch was delicious, with fresh clam chowder and bay crab.

There’s so much to see and do, from street performers and historic ships to the Aquarium of the Bay and the bustling Pier 39. Fisherman's Wharf is a must-visit for anyone in San Francisco. Highly recommend!

Just go.... it’s awesome, very relaxing friendly environment, lots good restaurants, bars, shops and drink places and reasonable price

It used to be much more busier, but I guess Covic hit hard and business is not as usual. At dinner time many restaurants and shops are already closed.

Good place to walk and eat fresh seafood. Some of the area seems a bit run down and sketchy, though, so don't expect a pristine waterfront with swanky shops. I had some good chowder in a sourdough breadbowl at Cioppino's.

Myself and my partner were in San Francisco June 2024 celebrating our 20 years together and on our first morning we were up and out early and took the tram through the city finishing at Fisherman’s Wharf. It was pretty early so not a lot places open yet but it was lovely taking a stroll through the area. It was quite peaceful that time of the morning we popped in a 7/11 and grabbed a coffee to continue our walk and head to Pier 39! Well worth a walk along.

It's like walking on a cheesy boardwalk on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. There's plenty of shopping, restaurants, carnival rides, boats, historical markers and of course sea lions on piers. It's not Earth shattering but something you have to check out when in SF.

I know it’s touristy. It looks like businesses are trying to overhaul the area. Many old favorites have closed.

The views are still good but not as good as they were. The sea lions are still an attraction.

It’s worth a few hours once every decade.

Best meal I've had ever in my life eating food was a great staff and and our server Stephanie was amazing, will be back very soon!

It's a nice neighborhood but in some places it's a bit run down. I especially liked it because of the many restaurants that cook fish and because it is still iconic

Locals hate it and there's a lot of hype, but it's a really enjoyable way to spend half a day, or a day, just walking around, eating and shopping. For us, this was the first return visit after more than ten years, so it was nice to be back. Beware bad restaurants at Pier 39, such as The Hook (B-01). Prices are deceptive, but it's not good value and in fact some of the food was downright awful. But do try Chioppino's. Great service and delicious food.

Honestly there is so much to see and do from this place! If you are going to San Fran then stay here as your base, you have access to so much .. Tons of restaurants and activities to do, you won't be bored! We absolutely loved it and would go back for sure. People are friendly and welcoming. Just remember to TAKE WARM CLOTHES! That sea breeze is like ice at times. Go see for yourself! It was awesome!

Lots of empty buildings, merchants require that you use the public restrooms available on the wharf. Even some restaurants force you outside of their establishment to use restroom. The men’s restroom, around 10 a.m. was filthy. In addition, a homeless man was in the restroom with his shopping cart bathing himself. Both the battleship and the submarine were closed. I found it very disappointing.

We took the cable car from Powell street here albeit somewhat disrupted thanks to APEC. It is very touristy but the highlights were sea lions at pier 39 and some crab chowder. A fun place to visit.

Sea Lions are great, the wharf is a tacky arcade experience. Simply awful although for families with kids some of the cheap tourist shops might be a draw. But the Sea Lions are awesome.

Badly in need of clean, hygienic, regularly inspected rest room facilities.

I pity the disabled who really do not stand a chance here.

For a city that has so much to offer, the level of filth found is disappointing.

No charm whatsoever to be found at Fisherman's wharf. Not cozy at all, no attractive shops. Restaurants to avoid. Exactly a fair. Only worth it to view the seals. Otherwise don't go.

Fisherman's Wharf Jefferson Street, Between Hyde and Powell Streets, San Francisco, CA 94133 çok iyiii

Visited: 10/06/2023

Fisherman's Wharf could be another tourist trap for sure. It was well worth the visit, but be wary of prices on food and things to do.
The streets are lined with stalls of food and craft vendors so the walkways can be really crowded, and worse when people are not aware of surroundings and suddenly stop in front of you.
It is a nice are to walk around, but prices are hiked up.

What I will recommend is an old style gaming arcade called Musee Mechanique where they have retro-fitted lots of centuries old arcade games to take modern coins to still be played. It's like a museum but with games. Fabulous. And seeing the USS Pampanito was fabulous as well.

Having been here years ago it seems very tired now. Perhaps the pandemic killed businesses? But there are a lot of old and tacky tourist places that need a facelift.

Fisherman warf is differently a place to visited pier 31,39, and the tour buses enjoy the shopping and restaurants along with staying at the beautiful hotel surrounded by water and attractions Lovin the food restaurants and hotels the environment is so warm and comfortable u would want to come back and do more

As per Pier 39 a bit of a dump and dirty. Lots of homeless. but definitely worth a visit and to stay here in the is area. Never felt threatened or uncomfortable walking around at night. Very touristy...

Fisherman's Wharf is the tourist center of San Francisco and is simply part of a city tour. The famous Pier 39 with the sea lions is also located in this district. Other attractions include the Musée Mécanique, which houses a large collection of old slot machines, and the USS Pampanito, a World War II walk-in submarine. For restaurants and cafés, we recommend less touristy neighborhoods where the Price quality ratio is much better.

A word about safety: San Francisco has been in the headlines for several years for problems with homeless people and drug addicts. Fisherman's Wharf, however, is a positive counterexample. We felt safe here – as in most other areas of the city – even with a toddler. The streets were mostly clean, and we were never bothered by pushy people.

Very good experience. We took the boat to see the Golden Gate, did some shopping, and ate at Bubba Gump. To see, the jibs at Pier 39

It is very Tourist oriented complete with all the over priced shops but it’s San Francisco and walking around near the bay was worth it! There are plenty of restaurants and great photos opportunities all around. If you can try a boat tour!

We love coming to Fisherman's Wharf. It is a touristy place, but it is fun. There are street performers, street sellers, food, stores, lots of people and fun. Parking is expensive. But, no trip to San Francisco would be complete without a visit here.

If you are planning a trip here, I recommend wearing comfortable clothes and walking shoes. Also layers, because weather can go from warm to cold quickly when the fog rolls in.

So much to see and do! Food and drink, ice cream and other treats galore. We had a fun visit. Lots of families.

Visit on Friday Saturday.
It was my first visit in a while, but I was surprised to see the Ferris wheel, restaurants, and tourist areas.
There was an air show on both days, especially on Saturdays, when people from aviation, police, fire and military set up booths to do events and classic car enthusiasts put their cars on display.
I always had bread chowder for lunch when I came here.

Definitely on the SF list, I'm glad I had time to visit. Walked around and just took in the sights....it's a tourist trap of shops. Wish I had researched places to eat!

Don’t skip Fisherman’s Wharf it’s a must visit. Was surprised at how safe it felt walking around solo. I picked a hotel located at the other end of the wharf area and I’m very glad I did. Great vibe with the live street music

I really think this place is attractive to homeless people. There are so many of them, tourists might just avoid it completely.

We loved this place, probably the best seaside pier area we have been to. Much better than the pier at Santa Monica in LA. Bustling atmosphere, loads of great eateries, great shops (some quite reasonably priced) and good fun and games - there was a street magician when we went. There’s also an area round the back where seals congregate . We spent a whole afternoon here.

Fisherman‘s wharf was a bit disappointing… the best thing are the sea lions:-) and the cable cars.
Also you can start your bike tour to the Golden Gate Bridge and Sausolito from here. We had E-Bikes; they are expensive but worth it;-)
Be careful if you park your car on the side of the road! there are a lot of break-ins!!! We saw one or two almost every day.

Full of tacky tourist shops with overpriced and underwhelming food. No photos to share as none worth taking of the pier, except for the sealions next door in the marina. Not worth the time to visit.

Now back on the waterfront we walked along the bay to Fisherman’s Warf, stopped by a store and all four of us bought souvenir S.F. coats (anticipating it might be cooler along our bus trip into the mountains.

We had a lunch of Clam stew in sour dough bread boles, washed down with hot chocolate-spiked with RUM

Shame about the closed restaurants and some areas looking very neglected - first impressions were very disappointing - by day 2 we had figured out where to avoid but still would not walk out in the dark as did not feel safe.

This was a let down. Had a bad fast food lunch, an unsafe feeling, and it was very dirty. Avoid and walk straight to Ghirardelli Square.

Redding was right! Just sitting on the dock of the bay wasting time. No better way to spend an evening listening to the street artist sing their hearts out.

A tourist trap. Great to see sea lions but go to Monterey for a better experience.

The boat to Alcatraz goes from Pier 33 so do that if that interests you and plenty of bike hire places along Jefferson Street, to cycle over Golden Gate bridge (and other routes of course).

That's it, unless of course you want to feel like a tourist and buy sweets and tat.

We did enjoy our stroll in the day here and found a good games shop for my geeky partner. Retro games. Lot's of homeless around but they never bothered us. Some folk I think were hassled. Just don't engage. Lot's of gift shops although all the same. A bit run down and in need of clearing up but it was nice.

We stayed at the Hotel Zephyr which was perfect to explore the neighbourhood. Sadly some restaurants and bars have not recovered from the Covid situation but there is plenty to do. The sea-lions are adorable, we enjoyed food at Boudins, the Great Eagle and the Wipeout bar. The boat trip to Alcatraz set off from a short walk away at Pier 33. We had a really good day out on the hop on hop off bus which took us is to all the main attractions. The cable car is a great experience, and within walking distance.

The restaurants were okay, as was the general environment. However, we park our rental car in front open sidewalk cafe. Baby rounded the corner. We were literally gone less than 10 minutes, and one of the windows in the rear of the vehicle were broken into and my backpack was stolen anywhere you looked there were homeless. People that were literally defecating in the street. It was a horrible experience and I will not go back to downtown San Francisco under any circumstances.

Everyone loves to come here to see the sea lions, and that is a lot of fun and unique. But otherwise for local people, this neighborhood is somewhat of a tourist trap with corporate restaurants lacking fresh food, and a honky tonk atmosphere. Still it has a reputation as a must-do place. We just don't come here often.

My wife and I ended up here after a bike tour and while it was very busy it was still entertaining, even if just for the people watching. We had dinner here and loved the views of the bay from the many vantage points. I know the locals dont come here but we enjoyed a short visit.

Lot of fun there. you can stop everywhere and enjoy different food and drinks, Amazing time just to walk around...

Enjoyed everything there except these 2 street performers. Be aware of 2 male break dancers claiming to represent a help children charity. Hi dollar, hi pressure scam. They even get volunteers from the crowd to build up the act. I was one of the volunteers. Then they turn on the pressure and start collecting money. They request $10 - $20+ and ridicule you if you only give a couple of dollars. Stay away, just keep walking.

Great place in San Francisco away from homeless it’s clean and fun Nice restaurants Acquarium shops and carousel Also known for seal lions and great views of Alcatraz wax museum so definitely go and have fun

Lovely Restaurant Area at Pier 39 ,plenty of nice restaurants over looking the marina ,look out for the large seal ions on pontoons ,but you will probably hear them before seeing them .

Excellent place to visit. We got lucky with good weather. Awesome place to chill out with friends and spend the day. We loved to see all the awesome shops and enjoy the scenery. Def worth a visit here.

When I have a friend visit from out of town, I drive along the Embarcadero all the way along Pier 39 then past the Cannery without stopping until Bay & Hyde. That way they can say they saw the Wharf. Yawn. The only reason locals go there is because the only In N Out Burger in the City is located there and to buy crab when in season.
Take your Bay Cruise and Alcatraz tour then move elsewhere.

Loved this visit! Lots of restaurants, shopping, things to do. And the seals, so many! You can see Alcatraz…just very fun overall.

Fisherman's Wharf is always on our list of things to see in Frisco.
The pretty restaurants and small shops invite you to linger.

Lots of things to see and do here. Easily spent 4 hours here and it was clean and safe and had tons to do. If I had kids with me, I could probably spend more time even. This was a must go for a first time here.

We are by the bay, typical places, but also American tourism.
We may not like it, but the charm of the place operates undeniably.
We forget the megacity, we fall back into childhood.
So it was a colorful visit that we did not regret.

If you go to San Francisco, Fisherman's Wharf is very likely to be on your itinerary. The sea lions and chowder have become part of most visits to the city.

We stayed near Fisherman's Wharf - and tended to be in that area most days at some point. It's touristy and felt busy. The street entertainers are great, but it is loud - and sometimes crowded.

We found that using some of the lesser crowded piers to get a really great view out over towards Alcatraz worked for us. Pier 41 gives you great views of the sea lions too - without battling through the crowds.

We had some great meals around Fisherman's Wharf - but it is more expensive than walking a few streets away.

Such a great experience we did a water taxi tour with Captain Ryan. Lots of shopping and restaurants in the area. My sons favorite part was the arcade games and carousel ride.

We all hear about this place after getting off our Alcatraz ferry turn right about 10 minutes walk approximately all sorts of shops eating places and entertainment places nice atmosphere plenty to look at even the local sea lion inhabitants worth looking at a great place to people watch

Amazing food! Anceluo was sooooo amazing! He recommended the Mac and cheese and played with my niece's bear (which got old I'm sure). He got double sat at the same time all 8 of us sat down, but he handled it amazingly. I wouldn't have even known. 10/10!!!!!

Very lively area of San Francisco, touristy but that I found very nice. We parked our car at Pier 39 and then enjoyed this port area on foot, moving between various attractions, the view of Alcatraz and the Golden Gate in the background and the (inevitable) many people. A must in San Francisco impossible not to see

Fisherman's Wharf is NO LONGER what it was but then what is these days?! Allioto's and Fisherman's Grotto are closed for good, as are ALL the shops and boutiques that were once the heart of Fisherman's Wharf. They have to scrape the graffiti off the painted-up, closed store windows and crime is a real problem these days with all the homeless people and drugs in the area. I would NOT take my family there even if I LIVED in San Francisco, let alone plan a trip around it!

Good spot for picture taking, restaurants and shopping Lots of parking close by. Must stop on your San Francisco visit.

Very touristy area with a lot of people, but still nice to wander around with decent shops amidst the area. Love the animal breads at the Boudin Bakery around here.

Great vibes, nice view and scenery, many spots to choose from to have a bite/drink along the way. It was a lovely walk in the summer weather.

We were at Fisherman's Wharf last week. We enjoyed all the shops eating places. We loved all the excitement and live music playing. I feel like it is a must do experience for San Fransisco. We loved seeing the seals at Pier 39. It was chilly when we were there so take a jacket.

According to the Chamber of Commerce, Fisherman's Wharf is San Francisco's No. 1 tourist attraction. Located at 505 Beach Street, at Jefferson Street, on the northern part of the city's waterfront, it features the highest concentration of activities for families with children, including Pier 39, Ghirardelli Square, sea lions, street performers, boat tours, souvenir shops, museums, the Skystar Ferris wheel, indoor and outdoor dining and lots of fresh Dungeness crab. Open from 9 to 5 Monday through Friday, visitors are encouraged to eat crab at the Crab House at Pier 39, go back in time at Musee Mecanique with its vintage arcade games, sample made-in-San Francisco chocolate at Ghirardelli Square's original ice cream and chocolate shop, take a tour of Alcatraz Island, have a cup of Irish coffee at Buena Vista, stroll along the Embarcadero waterfront and view the Ferry Building and Bay Bridge, eat animal-shaped bread and sourdough bread at the 1800s Boudin Bakery, learn San Francisco's nautical history at the Maritime National Historical Park, eat fish and chips at Godmother restaurant and enjoy fine dining at Scoma's or Fog Harbor Fish House. Visit Madame Tussauds' museum with exhibits that pay homage to musicians who once called San Francisco home, including Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix. Don't miss the Cartoon Art Museum, home to 7,000 pieces of cartoon artwork, including work by Peanuts creator Charles M. Schulz.

We arrived in Cali on a Wednesday night, headed to our hotel room, and when out to dinner in San Fran in the Wharf for 8:45pm. We made reservations to a restaurant in the Wharf while in the airport waiting in line for our car rental. Although by the time we arrived to the wharf at 8:30pm, many of the shops I believe closed at 9pm. However great place to walk around, eat and watch the sea lions. Then next day on our way back from an Alcatraz tour we stopped in to eat at the Wipe Out for lunch, a great day to eat, people watch and shop. Most of the seals from the night before had since gone, so it probably depends on when you visit. My son who is 13 year old loved this place to just walk around and see the bay. Great views. We had a hotel within walking distance, so we did not have to worry about parking. The morning was very empty by lunch time many more people were out, but it never seemed crowded like NYC. I did see reviews about homeless people, but every big city you go to, they are there. We actually gave our leftovers to a homeless man. Love San Francisco!

So much to do and see. everything is open and busy the afternoon we were there. rented bikes. took cable car. No zombies, just lots of people enjoying the waterfront

A lot of the famous restaurants have closed since our last visit 11 years ago. Missing a lot of the street performers

Suggestive place where you can try different places for shopping, restaurants, souvenirs or long walks. If you are in San Francisco I recommend you to reach this place with the trams that pass along the city and enjoy the sunset in the surroundings of this place.

Great place with a lot of food options and shopping. Dress warm as it gets cold, especially in the afternoon and night. Not far from Oracle Park.

Fisherman's wharf is great walking and strolling around the beach side with lots of stalls for souvenirs , food and sightseeing wt seals and birds. Nice photos of the views of the ocean and boats sailing

Another busy area, very lively, plenty of shopping and places to sit and eat.
A negative is the lack of toilets and the cleanliness of the toilets.

Fisherman's Wharf is a must-see experience if you are a tourist visiting San Francisco. Views of San Francisco Bay, some great seafood restaurants, street performers, shopping, amusements, boat tours and nearby Pier 39 with its sea lions. Fun to arrive here by cable car on the Powell and Hyde line.

The Fisherman's Wharf is an entire area full of stores of all sorts and lots of restaurants. On Saturdays, there are vintage and tuned cars around to see. We started at Ghirardelli and walked all the way to Pier 39. Lots to see!

Lots of sightseeing and shops. Easy to walk to and lots to see. Can be pricey depending on what you want to do. We did a wine bar and had icecream.

Plenty of shops and restaurants to explore and try out, though it is a tourist destination. My favorite is the seals on Pier 39.

I’m not sure what the hype is about this place, it didn’t have much to offer really. A few blocks down is Pier 39 which has a lot to see, but good lord it’s just another tourist trap of course.

This place is a big tourist trap, but that shouldn't detract from the fact it is also a pretty fun area to spend a couple of hours. Full of restaurants, and souvenir shops, it is on the tacky side but it is quite fun to walk around, watching people clearly enjoying themselves. Some restaurants are very overpriced, but in general, prices are what you would expect for a place like this - above average but you don't need to sell your house to afford a bowl of chowder. I had a bowl of chowder, which was around $13 and it tasted very good. You can wander up/down to Piers 33 and 39, taking in the sea lions and pelicans, and a short walk away is the National Maritime Museum, which is worth a visit. I was there during Fleet Week, and there were a number of aerial displays, which added to the whole experience. There was also a Ferris wheel, so plenty to keep the kids entertained. If you come here, expect to lose quite a few dollars but you will most probably have a god time.

It was our first time in San Francisco and we took cable car from Downtown. The ride down the last steep hill - Hyde Street was amazing. When we arrived we walked mainly along Jefferson Street where are various restaurants, Maritime National Historical Park Visitor Center was worth to visit as well as a few gift shops and, of course, sea lions. We spotted Madame Tussauds Museum but we didn't enter, basically there are many good and less good places for tourists like us. But if you are in the city for the first time you should go there and you can make your own judgement.

Stayed in the area. Pier 39 is full of things to do and the Sea Lions are funny but a bit smelly. Bit overpriced on the pier itself but a decent place to go for a wander

Great place to people watch, lots of restaurants to pick from and shops to get t-shirts and magnets if you're needing souvenirs. Don't expect sea lions June-July, they're off having their pups then. Carousel for the kids along with some other activities and a fresh fruit/veggie stand.

A first-time visitor, I was shocked at how unimpressive this area is. It's world-famous, but I left wondering what exactly it's famous for. It consists largely of fast-food restaurants and merchandise shops selling touristy junk nobody needs. What's more, it smells bad, reeking of uncollected garbage, marijuana or cigarette smoke, or in some places a combination of all three. I can't imagine what it's like in the summer. On the plus side, you can get a decent view of the local sea lions from Pier 39, and the old ships at Hyde Street Pier (specifically Balclutha [1886] and C.A. Thayer [1895]) are beautifully preserved and well worth the $15 price of admission. The same can't be said of the submarine USS Pampanito. I was curious to board it and look inside, but $30 just for admission was too steep for me.

So sad to see the deterioration of the city! Just there for a few days but the level of empty storefronts, graffiti and trash were hard to see. We lived there in the 90s and have come back a couple of times over the years - but were dismayed at how bad things are / empty streets, homeless sleeping and a real lack of vitality……don’t bother with the city go elsewhere.

Fisherman's Wharf is right down the street from the pier! Good location for everything you need to see!

after 20 years the area looks so different. Still a great experience to walk around. The Crab House - good food a little pricey.

This area around Fisherman's Warf is actually a classic tourist trap. It's mostly the name. Furthermore, it is busy, many expensive restaurants, expensive supermarkets and ugly souvenir shops. It all looks a bit dilapidated and dated. Not our thing!

Fisherman’s Wharf has become a complete waste of time. The three restaurants that made the wharf have been put out of business by the mini Vegas this has become. It’s just a bunch of restaurants and tshirt shops. Definitely skip this place. At least pier 39 doesn’t pretend to be anything other than an outdoor Mall of America.

This was a go to place for us every time we came to San Francisco, so we went down for dinner on this trip. It was so sad to see that almost every restaurant had closed down. This area is nothing like it used to be. Pier 39, which is just down the street, is still hopping, so go down there if you are looking for food or something to do.

We spend the day here, so much to see and do , I enjoyed the restaurants, there is a lot to choose from, its also very nice to take a walk, I would highly recommend Fisherman wharf.

Fisherman wharf is a tourist place but good to base self as close to pick up for tours.

However I recommend finding restaurant and food away from the wharf as the food there is way too oily which upset my stomach and I eat chilli's and spicy foods so its not nice at all, Burgers and fries were just terrible.

We had dinner at ghiradeli further away which was nice.. Steak and seafood and asian food that recommend

Italian quarter was nice for food but again too much oil in their food.

Travelling with 2 other couples and we found San Fran easy to travel around, plenty to do and friendly people.
We just loved the cable cars, those hills are crazy (we live in a flat city).
Lots of options for tours and things to do, and we did a few of them, lol.
Plenty of food options to, all reasonably priced we think.

We had a brilliant experience. It was a trip for our 20th wedding anniversary and we were not disappointed. Highly recommend.

Fisherman’s Wharf is an evergreen favourite in San Francisco. The sheer beauty of the place, combined with the vibrant ambience and the plethora of shopping / dining / entertainment options, is lovely.

One thing I need to point out is that fisherman‘s wharf is not that close to Ghirardelli square we thought we could walk it but we decided to take a quick cab over to it. Also we ate at Ghirardelli Square, and I wish we would’ve waited because there’s so many more options at fisherman‘s wharf. It is a seafood lover‘s Paradise

Along with pier 39 this whole area is worth a walk around. Lots to see and you can walk towards the bridge end with so many sites and people to see. We enjoyed it.

Several shops and restaurants to try. Lots of entertainment on every corner. The bakery was excellent. Seafood was fresh. Although it was a bit congested I would still visit again.

Lively port area with very commercial docks full of shops, restaurants and attractions. Don't miss Pier 45 with the Musée Mécanique and Pier 39 with the merry-go-round and the sea lions. Much more lively in the afternoon, in the morning many shops are closed.

Didn't disappoint. Was definitely looking forward to our day in san Francisco and this was one of our stops. Loved everything.

Was great to sit and watch the people go by as we were eating our deep fried prawns and drinking a cold slushy. The Sourdough Company had great baked goods.

Quite expensive but good for a look. The seals are too far away to see properly or photograph.
Grab a coffee, sit down and people watch - more interesting than the shops.

You cant come to San Fran and not go to Fisherman's Wharf. But the highlight for me was Musee Mechanique. There are way too many tacky souvenir shops and it spoils the place. It's better to go early morning as everything starts to open about 10am.

We had fun seeing the sea lions at pier 39, the old pinball machines. We stayed nearby. There is a lot within walking distance if you don’t mind walking. The Pampanito is an old sun you can tour.

There are several interesting stores, eateries, cafés, pubs, and entertainment venues around. During our visit, there were a lot of visitors and sightseers wandering around. Everyone looked to be having fun.

My lovely wife of 3 years had not seen San Francisco so I put together all of the tourist things to see in San Fran, PCH driving south and Monterey Bay and Peninsula. If you have not been there are at least two to three days of things to see and the starting place is Fisherman's Wharf. It's mostly tourist shops but if you like to shop it is fun. There are OK restaurants and one really great, but expensive one - Giardalli Square. Monteray Bay is a shopping Mecca also but classier than Fisherman's Wharf. They have good restaurants, fresh seafood but also very expensive. Lunch with a beer and a soda was $250. Not cheap. That said the Sea Lions on the rocks of the bay were worth the drive.

We walked here Thursday afternoon as well as Sunday and really enjoyed the energy and the people watching!

What can I say about San Francisco🤔🇺🇸 it's big a lot of streets🤔Cable cars are good to drop u off the different streets😊as for fisherman's wharf we ate in the sports place not much chooise of food🫤no bars to have a drink inn eather and the price of the food💲🫤🫤meet some nice people and a lot of homeless there🤔🥺went to see the rock that was cool😊😊went to the golden gate bridge😊and the chinice gardens that was nice too 😊

I feel like this pier is a great attraction for a weekend activity, specially during the day, enjoy a walk on the pier, look at the shops, choose a restaurant and have a meal with a view.

Visited this landmark on 14th of May 2023. A must visit landmark when one is in San Francisco. Fisherman’s Wharf, on the northern waterfront, is one of the city's busiest tourist areas. Souvenir shops and stalls selling crab and clam chowder in sourdough bread bowls appear at every turn, as do postcard views of the bay, Golden Gate and Alcatraz. There are a lot of restaurants that one can visit and usually very crowded with tourists and it’s difficult to secure a place on the weekend. Visited and had a late lunch here in one of the sea food restaurants located there.

so many sights and sounds at Fisherman's Wharf. We chose a boat ride near the fishing boats that took us out into the Bay.

Lots of tourist attractions and things to do. On the other hand, pay attention to the prices. As it is a place very visited by tourists, the prices are quite high, but it is a must-see in the city, not to be missed.

Fisherman’s Wharf is like any other touristy area, lots of places to eat and souvenir shops. It’s a fun place to walk around and just check out, and the sea lions are a definite bonus.

good atmosphere, well kept businesses, good variety of food and prices.
To walk, between businesses, people, or go to the edge of the water, bustling, fun atmosphere.
There is a mini-colony of sea lions, which if they are the first ones you see, is beautiful, but if you come to see along the west coast, more colonies, this one is a little disappointing just because of the amount.
There are souvenir joints (better presented and somewhat more expensive than in China Town) and joints with unique souvenirs...including a candy-only business!

Previously stayed in downtown SF so I thought Fishermans wharf would be worth a try as it seemed there would be a lot to do there. Unfortunately we found it wasnt a buzzing area in the evenings. Eateries seemed to close very early evening and after coming back from Alcatraz we managed to catch the last tram towards our hotel but it was only just gone 9pm ish. Then we couldnt find anywhere to eat that was open, after walking along the main front, we did finally find one..... the streets were absolutely dead and it felt very dangerous getting back to our hotel although it wasnt far there were no trams (they had stopped running) and no taxis ie nothing on the streets...it seemed like a ghost town - around 10pm by this time.

Unless someone really needs a t shirt, I wouldn’t bother because of the trash and homeless people hanging around.

Yes, the area is touristy, but I didn't mind at all. I could have stayed forever. The wharf is full of restaurants, stores, even museums. I spent several days here for several hours.

This area offers a lot of shopping facilities, mostly souvenir shops, but also access to very nice piers such as pier 39 or 43 1/2, from which you can start your boat tours.

Lots of people, plenty of restaurants, great views of the water. Definitely touristy and lots of street vendors but worth a visit.

It’s been two years since we were last here. All of the oldest establishments are out of business. A lot of smaller businesses are closed. There were a lot of people walking around, still there are restaurants just not as much choice. Same thing in Oakland. Jack London square has been destroyed, 80% of businesses have closed. Keep up the good work gov.

Ancelvo had great service, he was quick and friendly and the food was very good. Will be coming back again!

Lots of shops and food. More expensive then other areas. But a lot more seafood options than other parts of the citiy.

An emblematic location, with streets full of people, cars, music, cafes, shops, restaurants, boats, fishermen, sea lions, seagulls, walls with colorful images, street artists, etc. Everything you need for a holiday atmosphere.

The are is vibrant with plenty to do. Lots of boutique places to shop, eat, and drink, especially along pier 39. Pier 33 is where the sea lions hang out.

SO many things to see and do in this area. Boudin bakery, restaurant, bakery, cafe, the Crab House, and te Fish Market for food. Tons of shirt and sweats to buy, it may be cooler and windier thant you expected. Take a cruise on the bay to get the true effect that San Francisco is on a peninsula surrounded on three isde by cool water. There are street performers, kiosks with stuff to buy and this is the area where you can pick up and retron from the Big Red Bus that takes you all around town, well worth the time and price IMHO. Hop on Hop off.

The whole area covers several blocks running east to west. You can walk all the way from Ghirardelli to Pier 33 and the Cruise Terminal / Alcatraz island departure point.
But it is a long walk for older folks.

The streetcar however runs along the front so its great to hop on that to get around for $3. In many cases, you can ride it for free.

There's lots to see along Jefferson, Beach, North Point and Bay streets. You can enjoy so many eateries and bars, cafes, souvenir & music stores, experience 2 cable car turnaround stops, view the sea lions. The characters around the area are quite funny and entertaining too.

You can spend 2 days of your holiday just visiting the various piers and establishments.

If I return to San Francisco, I would choose to stay in the Fisherman's Wharf area and not downtown SF. The only advantage to staying downtown is for Union square shops and a few museums. But it is awash in drugs and homelessness.
Fisherman's wharf is a far safer area, more vibrant, walkable after dark and with not much homelessness. But still be careful while you have fun!

We hadn't been to San Francisco in over 10 years, and with all of the bad press about crime, we were a bit reluctant to go back, but we went to see for ourselves how things were. We were pleasantly surprised. We stayed at a hotel at Fisherman's Wharf so most of the things we wanted to see and do were nearby. We stayed at a hotel on Jones street between Columbus and North Beach. A lot of businesses and restaurants in the immediate area of North Beach have closed permanently. This includes many of the old seafood and Italian restaurants that anchored the area around Pier 41 Ferry Terminal. Our favorite restaurant, Scoma's is still open and has awesome food with great bay views. Ghirardelli Square was hoppin'. Pier 39 still had a lot going on and didn't disappoint. Pier 15 had been renovated and is the new site of the updated Exploratorium. In short, there is still a LOT to do at Fisherman's Wharf.
We took a cable car downtown and went to the Modern Museum of Art (which we always enjoy). We walked back to the Wharf along the Embarcadero. We didn't see one homeless person on the street during our week long visit.
The only caution folks should be aware of is the driverless taxis. They are all over the city but really concentrated in the Wharf area. Generally safe but if you're crossing the street, make sure it is stopped before you cross. We were standing with a group of people at a cross walk in front of Buena Vista bar and restaurant when the stop lights changed, we were ready to step into the street and a driverless car blew through the red light. It didn't even slow down. I think this is probably rare, but just be aware that it can happen.

We were not that impressed. Maybe we didn't see everything that it was, but we were impressed with our first impression. Didn't see any fishermen.

Can't go to San Francisco and not visit Fisherman's Wharf, some of the tour boats leave from here, there are loads of restaurants and shops to wander in too. The Big Bus Tours leave from here also.

This was our first time in the USA and Fishermans Wharf had just the most fantastic atmosphere. The Sea Lions were just all over the place and the views across the bay to Alcatraz was just breathtaking. There are plenty of restaurants offering lots of different foods to suit every person's tastes. Will be going back again as soon as possible!!

For us we spent so much time down here. Most trips started from here eg Muir woods, or Alkatraz. That we thought why on earth did most reviews suggest Union Square? Maybe if you like shopping but even that was underwhelming. For us we found nothing great about Union Square except for the little cable car which we took to (You guessed it) the wharf! There are SO many eateries down here and a nice walk to the famous Pier 39 or in the other direction and you can see the bridge in the distance.

Coming from Australia we couldn't find many breakfast/brunch spots but we still managed to find something - ihop for example.

It was our first time in San Fran and we loved it. we spend 5 days.

First, it’s not a “wharf”. There are piers all around and that is what I thought this would be. It’s just a section of the tourist area with lots of restaurants, souvenir shops, and stuff like Riley’s.

This place is a must. The view is magnificent and several shops are located there. It is also very lively.

lots of little shops some decent bars and restaurants, well worth stopping for lunch or an evening meal.

This is a fun place to spend a few hours. Yes, it's 'tourist central' but you can walk the pier and watch the sea lions, San Francisco Bay for no charge. Some lovely restaurants and shops. Must do

Good and bad things about this place
Good: the views, the sea lions (but boy do they smell!),access to the Hyde St cable car stop, access to Sausalito and Alcatraz and Ghirardelli’s (if that’s classed as part of FW?)
Bad: rundown, some degree of homelessness, lots of crappy and overpriced restaurants, but few good ones and LOADS of completely closed ones which makes the area look really dilapidated. Tourist trap shops aplenty

Is it worth visiting? On the whole I’d say yes but only once!

An amazing time wandering around the area. So much to see and do while wandering around this area. Must do while you are here.
