Encompassing the northern waterfront of San Francisco, Fisherman's Wharf ranks as one of the city's top tourist attractions, packed with souvenir shops and seafood restaurants. Nearly 12 million visitors flock to this neighborhood each year, drawn by its museums, galleries, historical buildings, piers, and scenic vistas over the San Francisco Bay. For over a century the area served as the headquarters of the city's fishing fleet, which numbered nearly 500 vessels. Though the fleet's numbers dwindled over time, the remaining boats continue to supply some of the city's finest restaurants with fresh seafood. You can enjoy views of the bay from any number of restaurants, but try to explore other attractions as well, like the maritime museum, chocolate factory, and the infamous Alcatraz Island.

This is a good place for families looking to spend a sunny afternoon by the sea! You have good street food options and lot of scenic spots. I’m not sure about the parking as its usually crowded so do check for parking availability if you plan to drive there.

The weather is nice, not foggy and not too hot. 1 hour trip going around the golden gate and Alcatraz. The area is nice as well. Lots of street food and show. There's nearby restaurants as well.

The brief stay was fantastic. I adore the atmosphere, and this wharf has it all. I would return for another visit in the future. Hopefully, I would not be alone.

A great place to see a lot of seals. You have a great view to the famous Alcatraz and Golden Gate Bridge. It’s possible to buy here some food and drinks or if you want, you can also book a tour. And the last thing: if you have luck- the famous bushman will find you :)

Awesome place to visit and spend the day! Highly recommend if you are into ships and memorabilia as such.
