Itinerary

Day 1 San Francisco

Stunning views of the Pacific coastline with jagged cliffs set against a backdrop of blue skies and rushing waters; when encountered with this postcard scenery, you know you are in San Francisco. This avant-garde metropolis is the epitome of the American "melting pot”. Rows of elegant houses, the famous cable cars, clusters of ethnic neighborhoods, and the colorful waterfront all add to the distinctive international flavor of the city.

Transfer using a local taxi. Please note that this is not included in trip price and is payable locally.

For a taste of this international flavour, this evening visit China Town. Outside of China, San Francisco boasts the largest Chinese colony in the world. It is literally a city within a city where an ancient culture from the other side of the world survives and flourishes with remarkable authenticity.

The Holiday Inn Fisherman's Wharf is located in the heart of Fisherman's Wharf next to The Cannery, Ghirardelli Square, Pier 39 and both cable car lines. Amenities include a restaurant, coffee shop, snack bar, room service (limited), cocktail lounge, tour desk, car rental desk, business center, meeting/banquet facilities, gift shop, guest laundry facilities, currency exchange, concierge, safe-deposit service at the front desk and dry cleaning/laundry service. Recreational facilities include a swimming pool, bicycles, marina and fitness center.

Day 2 San Francisco

Get ready for a day of sightseeing. With your Cable Car 1-day pass in one hand and the city-tour brochure in the other, set out to discover this electric metropolis. Just steps outside your hotel, at the corner of Market and Powell Streets, the intricate Cable Car system awaits you. Visit places like Fisherman's Wharf, consisting of a long, coast-side row of seafood restaurants, street vendors, souvenir stores, and beautiful ocean scenery; Golden Gate Park, offering dozens of fun things to do and see like the Conservatory of Flowers and the Japanese Tea Garden; the Cable Car Museum, offering a view of how the system works; and the dramatic curves of Lombard Street, one of San Francisco’s most photographed sites.

This evening dine in another one of San Francisco’s many distinctive neighborhoods. For example, the very Italian flavored North Beach, so authentic you’ll think you are in Italy.

Overnight at Holiday Inn Fisherman`s Wharf (Run of House ).
