San Francisco Book

This opening fold-out contains a general map of San Francisco to help you visualize the 8 large districts discussed in this guide, and 4 pages of valuable information, handy tips and useful addresses.

Discover San Francisco through 8 districts and 8 maps

Marina/ Fisherman's Wharf/ Russian Hill

North Beach/ Financial District/ Chinatown

Embarcadero/ Union Square/ South of Market

Nob Hill/ Pacific Heights/ Civic Center

Haight Ashbury/ Castro/ The Mission

For each district there is a double-page of addresses (restaurants -- listed in ascending order of price -- pubs, bars, music venues and stores) followed by a fold-out map for the relevant area with the essential places to see (indicated on the map by a star *). These places are by no means all that San Francisco has to offer but to us they are unmissable. The grid-referencing system (A B2) makes it easy for you to pinpoint addresses quickly on the map.
