So, Named After St. Francis, Was It?

I found that out in this book. Okay, I really always suspected that anyway but confirmation was nice. I can't compare this guide to others detailing the sights, sites, and cultural offerings of San Francisco, since this is the only one I've bought, but I feel like it was comprehensive enough to stand alone. The geography (um, hilly) of the city is written-up, along with a nice overview of its attractions, parks, restaurants, climate, and the culture that makes this city both unique and a multi-cultural melting pot.

Took Two

$8.50 is a great price for this 360 page book. I like that it incorporates money saving ideas and answers fundamental questions for tourists. I also brought along the Golden Gate Trailblazer guide to fill in the walking section. Although there is a fair amount of information available on the internet about the San Francisco area, having these books with me as I tooled around was a necessity. The free downtown city street map provided by my hotel provided even more detail. Frommer's is very comprehensive, current, and provides a huge amount of practical guidance.

Frommer's San Francisco 2006

Very easy to read and helpful hints on the travels around the city. The map attached to the back is easy to pull out and fits in a shirt pocket. Everything you need to know before you arrive is listed in the book; i.e. walking tours, water tours, trolly tours, etc. prices are listed so if you are on a budget, you can get the best bang for your buck. Highly recommend this book and we have use Frommer's for all of our travels.
