San Francisco

Easy to carry and packed with information, the Pocket Rough Guide San Francisco covers everything you need to know about this welcoming, idiosyncratic city. Rough Guides´ expert author gives you the low-down on how to find the perfect burrito, ride the hill-defying cable cars without queuing for hours, and find the best views of the iconic Golden Gate Bridge. Itinerary ideas and the Best Of section give you a quick overview, while Places chapters go into more detail on context, sights and listings - all in Rough Guides´ trademark tell-it-like-it-is style. The pick of the Bay Area and beyond is included too, covering intellectual Berkeley and down-to-earth Oakland, the wine meccas of Napa Valley and Sonoma, and the region´s many protected nature reserves, parks and seashores. All listings are included both on the chapters´ clear, full-colour area maps and on the handy pull-out maps of San Francisco, Berkeley and Oakland. Whether you go for its stunning setting, mouth-watering variety of food or world-famous LGBT scene, the Pocket Rough Guide San Francisco will help you make the most of your trip.
