San Francisco Tourist Trap Tips by melancholia

fisherman's wharf...oh my, it's horrible! there are so many tourist, and really cheapie touristy shops. nothing of redeeming quality here. the 2 good bits of fisherman's wharf is that you have a nice view of alcatraz (old prison) and sea lions that lay and play in the sun next to pier 39. i only visited fisherman's wharf briefly, it was too crowded and is purely for tourists looking for cheap souveneirs and such. i was informed before going that fw was a 'tourist trap' but i suppose it's somewhere you still feel inclined to go to when visiting san francisco. just be prepared for a lot of people, and a lot of touristy nonsense!
