Great Guide
Used this like a bible for a 4 day trip to San Fran, it was very very useful, great map that you could take out and use, liked that it was split into sections of each district of the City, lots of recommendations & good photos. I would definitely recommend the Rough Guide books for any City break.

A readable and interesting guide
This 176-page book - the 2nd (print) edition of April 2016 - is an interesting and readable guide to this famous Californian city. This is a well-designed and presented guide, with useful maps. Being a pocket guide - approximately 7½ inches by 4 inches - it has a much more concentrated layout than the full-size Rough Guides, and is closer to a standard guide in layout, though still manages to keep much of its character. However, this IS more of a quick reference guide to the highlights of the area, and not the detailed study you would find in the larger volume.The Contents areP004: IntroductionP012: Best of San Francisco (things to see and do, places to shop, drink and dine, etc.)P030: Places (“the guide” - 12 sections describing the city’s districts and surrounding area, each with a thorough description, and its own accompanying mini-guide)P032: Downtown & the EmbarcaderoP044: Chinatown & Jackson SquareP052: North Beach & the hillsP064: The northern waterfrontP076: South of MarketP086: Civic Center and aroundP094: The Mission and aroundP106: The Castro and aroundP114: West of Civic CenterP124: Golden Gate Park & beyondP132: Oakland & BerkeleyP140: Around the Bay AreaP148: AccommodationP156: Essentials (getting there, getting around, A-Z Directory, events, etc.)P171: Index
