San Francisco Attractions At A Glance...

Relative to other well-known American cities, San Francisco is small. Approximately 750,000 residents live on a 46.6-square-mile tip of land between San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean. Tourists who travel to San Francisco are immediately struck by strong evidence of the city's colorful past. Many older buildings have been spared from demolition and nostalgically converted into modern offices and shops. Longtime locals rue the once-thriving San Francisco attractions that got away through various means of destruction – railroad and mining boom-era residences lost in the 1906 earthquake, the baroque Fox Theater, and Playland at the Beach.

Exploring this city by car involves navigating a maze of one-way streets and restricted parking zones. The famed 40-plus hills can be a problem for drivers who are new to this type of terrain. For this reason, many vacationers who travel to San Francisco prefer to use various methods of public transportation. Cable cars, buses, and trolleys can take you to or near almost all of the most famous San Francisco attractions with minimum hassle.

Alcatraz
Alcatraz is the most famous federal prison once being used for the worst criminals. Since it is no longer being used as a prison, it is open to the public for tours. While there, visitors can see the prison no one ever escaped from successfully.

Golden Gate Bridge
The Golden Gate bridge is an engineering marvel which was built in the 1930's. It connects San Francisco with Marin County. Tours are available by boat, but the bridge is open to pedestrians, bike riders, and vehicles.

Fisherman's Wharf
Fisherman's Wharf is one of the most popular attractions in San Francisco. Visitors will experience unique shops, great seafood, and beautiful views.

Cable Cars
San Francisco's famous cable cars, located just steps from the hotel, were made after a tragic horse drawn carriage necessitated the need for a safer form of transportation. Nowadays, they are a great way to experience the city of San Francisco for visitors and locals alike. Routes will take you from Nob Hill to Fisherman's Wharf.

Nearby Attractions...

Even first-time visitors are often familiar with the standard pillars of San Francisco tourism: Golden Gate Park, the Palace of Fine Arts, the Golden Gate Bridge, and Nob Hill’s historic cable cars. But a walk down the Filbert Steps or through Macondray Lane, or a peaceful hour gazing east from Ina Coolbrith Park can be equally inspiring. Experiencing San Francisco tourism to its full extent requires visiting the neighborhoods: the colorful Mission District, the gay Castro, countercultural Haight Street, swank Pacific Heights, exotic Chinatown, and still-bohemian North Beach. These areas retain strong cultural, political, and ethnic identities.

Situated in the heart of the city – amid a wealth of downtown San Francisco attractions – the Parc 55 Union Square Hotel is just blocks from the renowned Union Square shopping area and theatre district; within walking distance of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and the Yerba Buena Gardens; and four blocks from the Moscone Convention Center and financial district. To ease travel throughout San Francisco, we’re also just minutes from the East Bay, with convenient access to BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) and cable car. Some of the most popular nearby San Francisco attractions include:

• San Francisco Shopping Center (across the street)
• Cable Car/Powell Street (half-block)
• Union Square (2 blocks)
