From skycrapers to fortune cookies

Parcours audioguidé pour visiter San Francisco

Step into the vibrant heart of San Francisco, where high-end boutiques meet the colorful, almost mystical spirit of Chinatown. This route leads you through the city’s bustling core, a true urban mosaic where the commercial buzz of Union Square gradually gives way to the scent of incense and the lingering literary echoes of the Beat Generation. Let the past guide your steps, from hidden alleyways and temples in Chinatown to the soaring heights of landmarks like the Transamerica Pyramid and the Salesforce Tower, revealing a city of contrasts that never stops reinventing itself.

Parking à proximité

Union Square Parking lot : 252 Geary Blvd If you have rented a car to explore the American West and are ending your trip in San Francisco, it is recommended to return the car on your first day in the city. Unlike Los Angeles, San Francisco is best explored on foot or by public transportation. If you do have a vehicle, the ideal option is to find a hotel with parking. Otherwise, you can park on the street, but be sure to carefully read the signs and pay attention to street markings, as regulations vary by location. Important: Always turn your wheels towards the curb when parking on a slope, or you may receive a fine.

À savoir

In order to not miss anything in San Francisco, you have to stay minimum 3 full days. Ideally, you can spend 4 nights on site.
