It is easy to make a day or two out of the wharf and pier 39. It is interesting and touristy, but a must in your first trip to the Bay Area.
Some places you may try are Scoma's, the sourdough factory, and not to far away is ghiradelli square.
It can be a very nice trip - as long as you get a proper guide. Many of them try to scam you so do your research beforehand. The village is a bit dirty but for me, there's something special there. I enjoyed the boat ride.
My favorite city in my favorite country on earth. I could not imagine a more perfect place. The art, the architecture, the food, the people, the weather, the landscape. It’s all incredible. Counting down the days til I make my big move to Florence! Il mio cuore appartiene a Firenze!
