Fisherman's Wharf — Make the most of one stop

Fisherman's Wharf clusters a lot of tourist activity into a walkable area — and HOHO drops you near the center.

Timing guide

  • Allocate 1.5–3 hours for Pier 39, the aquarium, and lunch.
  • If you want museum time (e.g., Maritime Museum), add 60–90 minutes.

Don't miss

  • Sea lions at Pier 39.
  • A sourdough bowl of clam chowder from a reputable stall.
