Fisherman's Wharf - The wharf abounds with shops and restaurants; waterfront marketplaces include The Anchorage, The Cannery, Ghirardelli Square and Pier 39. Still a working wharf, "Fish Alley" sells thousands of tons of sole, shrimp, salmon, sea bass, squid and other deep-sea delicacies. During crab season (mid-November through June) devotees line up for the best of the catch. A fleet of historic ships berth at Hyde Street Pier, near the Maritime National Historical Park and Museum.

Golden Gate National Park c22 - The 1,000-acre park's trove of attractions includes Stybing Arboretum and Botanical Gardens, a "living library" where 6,000 plant species, including a stunning display of California redwoods, flourish; the Japanese Tea Garden; a children's playground; the Asian Art Museum; MH de Young Memorial Museum; and the California Academy of Sciences, with its aquarium, Morrison Planetarium and laserium. Tennis courts, stables, baseball diamonds, polo grounds, croquet and lawn-bowling greens, an archery field, a golf course and a fly-fishing pool draw the sporting crowd year-round.

The Cannery - Built in 1907, The Cannery was once a Del Monte peach cannery. Today, these historic buildings, with three levels of walkways, balconies and bridges, wrap around an inviting courtyard. Here, one can relax under 100-year-old olive trees and have an alfresco snack or an elegant meal while being entertained by street performers. Discover a variety of shops and galleries filled with the latest in objects and fashions. Live entertainment is featured daily and The Cannery offers one of the finest comedy clubs in the city. Just one-half block from the Hyde Street cable car turnaround, The Cannery is located at the corner of Leavenworth and Beach streets.

Pier 39 - California's second-most popular attraction is Pier 39, with its sunning sea lions, more than 100 one-of-a-kind stores, restaurants and fun-filled attractions, including the new Underwater World aquarium. Pier 39 is also home to a 350-berth marina, a waterfront park and the Blue & Gold Fleet. A two-tiered carousel and performances by street entertainers add to the fun.
