San Francisco transforms after dark. Neighborhoods around Fisherman's Wharf and Pier 39 and Cable Cars and Lombard Street take on new energy, new sounds, and new possibilities — and the best way to discover it is on foot, moving between venues the way locals do. Track down Filbert Steps on Telegraph Hill for the kind of night that only locals know about.
A San Francisco walking tour reveals one of America's most dramatic cities — steep hills with jaw-dropping views, Victorian painted ladies, a world-famous bridge, and neighborhoods so distinct they feel like different towns. The compact layout makes SF one of the best US cities to explore entirely on foot.
