About This Book
A vivid guide presents San Francisco through its topography, harbor and major thoroughfares, showing how hills, the Bay and the Golden Gate shape views and movement. It sketches arrival points, the Ferry Building, Market Street, the Civic Center and Twin Peaks, then explores the Embarcadero and waterfront commerce, maritime culture and the cooling sea climate. The text emphasizes the city’s cosmopolitan character, diverse neighborhoods and public monuments, and the combination of scenic routes, parks and urban bustle that together form the visitor’s experience.
