San Francisco Fisherman's Wharf - Walking Tour
Fisherman's Wharf is one of the most popular travel destinations of San Francisco, a famous West Coast city located in California in the US. Fisherman's Wharf, the home of San Fransisco's colorful fishing fleet for 125 years, is known for its varied shopping options, historic waterfront, delicious seafood, and picturesque sights. Getting around the Fisherman's Wharf is too easy. You can walk all the way or go by bicycle. Cable cars, city buses, tourist buses, rental cars, taxis, and limos are readily available. Horse-drawn carriages are also open. Depending on your interest, you can choose any mode of transportation.
Fisherman's Wharf is such an important travel destination as it is considered that this is the place where San Francisco begins.
1. Start your exciting journey of exploring Fisherman's Wharf from Pier 39. Pier 39 has many restaurants, shops, and other attractions along the sides of the picturesque waterfront. There is an aquarium named "Aquarium of the Bay". You can get a breathtaking view of Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz Island, and Bay Bridge from Pier 39.
2. If you walk towards the direction of Golden Gate Bridge, you will reach Pier 39's West Marina. You will find many sea lions here, which started arriving in droves and took over the docks in 1989 after the earthquake. Nearby, a telescope is placed, giving you a better view of Alcatraz Island and Golden Gate Bridge.
3. Pass through Pier 41 and Pier 43 to reach the historical main entrance of Pier 45. This entrance is a heritage site. If you move a few steps inside, you can find the USS Pampanito, a WWII fleet submarine, and the SS Jeremiah O'Brien, one of the last remaining WWII liberty ships. You are allowed to go aboard the ships.
4. Walk towards the intersection of Taylor and Jefferson Streets, where the delicious seafood of San Francisco is available.
5. If interested, visit the Wax Museum and Ripley's Believe It or Not! museum, which falls on your way. After walking a while, you will reach The Cannery at Del Monte Square. It was built in 1907 and was once the world's largest peach cannery. It has a unique European charm today.
