Fisherman's Wharf Maps

Below, the maps show ways of getting to Fisherman's Wharf by public transportation.

The F-Line street cars run all the way down Market Street, then turn left on Embarcadero Street, and travel all the way to Fisherman's Wharf.

Two cable car lines, the Powell-Mason and Powell-Hyde, leave from Powell and Market and end within a couple of blocks of Fisherman's Wharf.

Taking BART? Get off at the Embarcadero Station, then get the F-Line right there and ride it to the Wharf.

The Alcatraz Ferry leaves from Pier 33 (the Bay Street stop, near Pier 35).

For more info, see Fisherman's Wharf.
