UNION SQUARE - CONVENTION CENTER OVERVIEW |
|
Many visitors to San Francisco stay
in Union Square, which offers a range of prices and options. As the
commercial hub of the city, you'll find most major hotels here -- as well as
excellent restaurants, galleries, upscale boutiques and Flagship stores. Most major tourist attractions are a
Trolley or Cable-Car ride from Union Square...making it an ideal home base
during your stay. Directly North of Union Square is Nob
Hill -- an affluent district that is home to many of the city's upper class
families (sometimes referred to as "snob" hill). Slightly northwest
lies Russian Hill -- another affluent, mostly residential neighborhood
that's home to the prestigious San Francisco Art Institute. San Francisco’s Chinatown,
the largest outside Asia, has temples, shops, restaurants and markets.
Don’t try to drive here! It’s impossible to navigate and even harder to park.
It's best to explore on foot. Chinatown lies East of Russian Hill. South
of Union Square is the Convention Center area that includes SFMOMA (San
Francisco Museum of Modern Art) and Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. The Theater
District is only 3 blocks west of Union Square and offers a variety of excellent stage productions year round.
