Ghirardelli Chocolate Shop

Ghirardelli Square is famous for its world-renowned Ghirardelli
Chocolate and popular Ice-Cream
Parlor — great for
entertaining out-of-town guests and treating yourself :)
Across from the main square — overlooking
the park, beach, SF Bay and Cable Car turnaround —
street vendors hawk their arts and crafts, souvenirs, T-shirts...
and jewelry, so
you won't go home empty-handed :)
Cable Car to Union Square
One of S.F.'s Cable Car Turnarounds is located opposite Ghirardelli
Square — at Aquatic Park on Beach Street. Catch
a Cable Car to Union
Square, located in the heart of San Francisco — expect
long lines during weekends and peak tourist season.

Museum
Visit the Maritime Museum
or take a free Walking Tour of Hyde Street Pier

he's extremely knowledgeable).
If you still want to splurge
after your Ghirardelli Chocolate and Ice Cream treat, indulge in
a delicious cupcake at Kara's Cupcakes — the second
location of this popular Marina shop is nestled on the Plaza Level
