Description
★ The Best of Little Italy & Historic Waterfront ★
This travel app explores two of San Francisco's most popular areas: North Beach, its vibrant streets lined with cafes, one-of-a-kind shops, bars and restaurants reflecting the area's Italian heritage, and, a few blocks north, Fisherman's Wharf, part of San Francisco's historic waterfront.
Amid the souvenir shops and restaurants catering to the millions of tourists who flock here each year you can still find authentic San Francisco -- the smell of boiling crab and sourdough bread being baked, the feel of the breezes of the bay, the sounds of sea lions barking at Pier 39 and the music of street performers who make their living here.
The wharf is well-known as the location of two of San Francisco's biggest attractions -- Pier 39 and cruises to Alcatraz, the notorious former federal prison.
Photographs, interactive maps, telephone numbers and links to web sites provide the information you'll need to plan your trip, and to use while exploring North Beach and the Wharf.
