Description

Walking is the best way to get to know a city intimately, exploring its neighborhoods and taking time to savor its details and hidden treasures, so follow Frommer's for an up-close-and-personal look at San Francisco. We've designed 12 fabulous walking tours, taking in the city's most intriguing neighborhoods. Each route takes a few hours and comes complete with detailed directions, suggested refreshment stops for snacks along the way, and an accompanying map. Come along with us to discover the most colorful neighborhoods in San Francisco. We'll introduce you to the North Beach and Russian Hill haunts of the Beat Generation -- and tell you tales of the larger-than-life personalities who made it all happen. You'll enjoy funky shopping and Summer of Love flashbacks in the Haight, and join us for cultural and culinary adventures in the Mission District and Chinatown. Slim and easy-to-carry, Frommer's Memorable Walks in San Francisco offers a wonderful way to make the city your own!
