Fisherman's Wharf is a fantastic experience, not to be missed. From the cheery ringing sounds of the passing cable cars to the iconic restaurants here, there is something for everyone. If you have the time, park your bike and spend some time strolling on Pier 39, filled with street performers and lots of shops to buy souvenirs. You can also check out the historic ships anchored at the Hyde Street Pier. It is a piece of local history that is a pleasure to visit.

Fisherman's Wharf is a neighborhood and popular tourist attraction in San Francisco, California. It roughly encompasses the northern waterfront area of San Francisco from Ghirardelli Square or Van Ness Avenue east to Pier 35 or Kearny Street. The F Market streetcar runs through the area, the Powell-Hyde cable car lines runs to Aquatic Park, at the edge of Fisherman's Wharf, and the Powell-Mason cable car line runs a few blocks away.
San Francisco's Fisherman's Wharf gets its name and neighborhood characteristics from the city's early days of the mid to later 1800s when Italian immigrant fishermen came to take advantage of the influx of population due to the gold rush. One, Achille Paladini, found success wholesaling local fish as owner of the Paladini Fish Company, and came to be known as the "Fish King". Most of the Italian immigrant fishermen settled in the North Beach area close to the wharf and fished for the local delicacies and the now famed Dungeness crab. Despite its redevelopment into a tourist attraction during the 1970s and 1980s, the area is still home to many active fishermen and their fleets. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fisherman%27s_Wharf,_San_Francisco
