San Francisco is a city that’s filled with so much to see that it’s hard to know where to start. Lucky for you, once you make Kimpton Alton Fisherman’s Wharf your homebase, you’ll be right in the heart of one of the most historic and popular tourist neighborhoods in the city. You’re probably familiar with a few sites in our hood like Ghirardelli Square, Pier 39 and the Golden Gate Bridge, but don’t hesitate to ask our team for a few insider suggestions or a customized itinerary.

Here’s a list of spots in both our neighborhood and beyond to get you started:

• Former federal prison turned national historic site, Alcatraz is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the country.
• Yes the bridge is the star, but Golden Gate Park is a stunning urban park with ten lakes and meadows ripe for picnicking.
• Leave modesty behind at Baker Beach, where clothing is optional.
• A shoppers delight, you’ll find both flagships and rare boutiques in Union Square.
