Fisherman's Wharf is located on the San Francisco Bay waterfront, and is San Franciso's number one tourist attraction. Affording visitors with views of Alcatraz Island and Golden Gate Bridge, Fisherman's Wharf is a cultural mecca of food, shopping, and entertainment, and is known for its sourdough bread, dungenes crab, and more.

Fisherman's Wharf, home to many internationally acclaimed seafood restaurants, established a stronghold in 1853 during the days of the California Gold Rush. Italian immigrants were much more successful fishing than in gold prospecting, and as a result helped the Wharf grow into the popular attraction it is today. The Wharf offers a variety of sightseeing tours, attractions, dining and shopping, including Hyde Street Pier and shopping at Pier 39.http://www.buysanfranciscotours.com/cityinfo/Fishermans_wharf.html
