San Francisco Maps

Here's a collection of San Francisco maps that I've created, covering some popular San Francisco locations.

I've marked various San Francisco attractions and points of interest, plus transportation and parking tips.


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.
