Getting Around

What a gorgeous way to get around ! Get there early enough to park -by 15 minutes- or take an Uber or Lyft and enjoy not waiting! Buy your tickets on the boat. Stop at the Ferry Building in SF to shop and eat to later set foot onto Market St. towards the City Center or onto the Embarcadero towards the Wharf. Check times for ferries that go all the way to Pier 41- near Pier 39 and Fishermans Wharf. Pier 33 will get you to Alcatraz if you've pre-booked tickets and you need to prebook!!!
