In a town with abundant citywide shopping, Union Square is the most renowned source of retail therapy. Not to mention fine hotels, good meals and places to sit outside and enjoy San Francisco’s benign climate. HOW TO GET HERE Muni buses, streetcars and cable cars plus Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) trains cluster at Powell and Market streets. Don’t miss the Visitor Information Center at Hallidie Plaza, right by the Powell Street BART station. WHAT TO SEE & DO Virtually every brand in fashion is on or near the 2.6-acre square, including Macy’s (also home of a second Visitor Information Center), Neiman Marcus and Tiffany & Co., to name a few. The Grand Hyatt and Taj Campton Place hotels are just off the square on the east (Stockton Street) side, along with a cluster of upscale boutiques. On the Powell Street side, the Westin St. Francis Hotel holds pride of place. Also be sure to visit the venerable Gump’s on Post. Founded in 1861, this elegant department store offers a variety of housewares, clothing and accessories. South of Market at the foot of Powell, the Westfield San Francisco Centre is home to Bloomingdale’s and Nordstrom. Nearby are the Marines Memorial Theatre, Curran Theatre and the American Conservatory’s Geary Theater. Visit the TIX booth to see if there are any same-day discount deals for local performances.
