Hi Jason, Glad you like the look of North beach, Its our favorite too, We just like being close top the water wherever we go. Booking.com really does have the other beat in our opinion, but always worth shopping around too.

3 days is what you would need to see most things in a semi relaxed manor, 2 days would give a rushed whistle stop tour, and you would be amazed how much you can pack into just one day!!! Any more and you can begin to get into the real San Fran Vibe, and start finding the more niche less tourist attractions.

Hope you make it there soon, I am sure you will love it!

Hi June, Thanks for the comments, Loved reading about your trip. Its certainly is a long Flight and very exhausting. But definitely worth it. Glad you enjoyed the post and think it will be useful to others. A bit of fore knowledge and planning can really help a trip go smoothly.

I’m sure those 3 days flew by.

Loved Fisherman’s wharf, North Beach, China Town and of course we had to tour Alcatraz.

I have no doubt that your information will help tourists enormously.

Hi Craig. San Francisco as a whole is a very safe city. China Town is no exception. Hotels, in general, are quite cheap in China town, The Dragon gate end (junction of Grant Av and Bush St) has plenty of cheaper options. The plus side of this is they are meters away from both china town and Union Square. Putting you right in the heart of the city but saving a little bit over Union Square hotels.

Unfortunately, this is not really within walking distance of Fishermans Wharf. It is walkable but would be a trek, approx 1.5 miles or 30minutes. Nothing is too far in San Francisco, but 1.5miles isn’t something you want to do too often. There are local buses (Number 30) that are very regular and will whisk you there (or anywhere else) in less than 5mins though.

Hope you have a great trip
