Kurzbeschreibung
This is a guide to San Francisco's eclectic and character-filled neighborhoods, which are best explored on foot. From the Gold Rush to the Summer of Love to the not-so-distant Dotcom days, San Francisco has been a city of distinct neighborhoods, each with an intriguing history. This exceptional guide explores the best of the City 'on the ground' that traverse the length and breadth of the City, from North Beach to Lands End, Glen Park to Golden Gate Park. The 33 specially designed urban treks are not only good exercise but are a great way to soak up the history, culture, and vibe of the City by the Bay. The walks commentary includes trivia about architecture, local culture, and neighborhood history, plus tips on where to dine, have a drink, or shop. Each tour includes a clear neighborhood map and vital public transportation and parking information. Route summaries make each walk easy to follow, and a 'Points of Interest' section lists each walk's highlights. Inside and raconteur, Tom Downs guides the urban adventurer from the sloped landscapes of Telegraph Hill to the Beat-Italian flavours of North Beach, and from the rugged parklands of Bernal Heights to the beautiful vistas at Lands End. It takes a trek through the grit and glitter of the Mission, the maritime history of Fisherman's Wharf, and the Victorian splendor of Pacific Heights. Meandering along the art district around Yerba Buena Plaza and parts of the Barbary Coast trail, to the wharves, bridges, and ballpark at the southern waterfront, this book reveals parts of the city that even seasoned locals overlook.

Up to date, easy to follow!
21. November 2011
Format:Taschenbuch
My husband and I chanced upon this book in a little book store in Union Square. We live around 45 mins away from the City and love to explore the different neighborhoods. We used to do this just with a regular map in hand, usually based our route on where we want to stop for eating and whether we had a show to catch. However with this book, we explore the neighborhoods more systematically, and also notice all the major and not-so-major landmarks. Also, it points out some mom-and-pop stores that have been in SF neighborhoods for a long time. Yesterday while walking Castro, my husband and I spent almost 30 mins in the Cliff's Variety Store that the book talked about!
Pros:
+ Great easy to follow walking routes for each neighborhood with breakout maps
+ Usually recommends a place to park although we try to see if we can do it cheaper or for free
+ Points out a lot of quirky and offbeat landmarks, as well as major historical landmarks
+ Concise 2-3 pages for each neighborhood, walks are short enough for anyone to do with stops
Cons:
+ My husband was hoping there would be an easy to use electronic version of the book so that we didn't have to carry the book around
+ Recommendations for place to eat along the way would be nice!
