A historic 1898 San Francisco landmark with a 245-foot clock tower, now a vibrant marketplace filled with artisan food vendors, local shops, and waterfront views of the Bay Bridge. Come for the Saturday farmers market, fresh oysters, artisan bread, and small-batch ice cream, or take a ferry to nearby destinations like Sausalito or Treasure Island. Note that ferry terminals can be disorganized, so allow extra time if you're catching a boat.
