Pier 39

Embarcadero

Mia and her mother visit the pier together in The Princess Diaries (2001). So should you - it's a great place to see the sea lions that showed up in 1990 and never left. You'll find them on the left side of the pier. Go inside to try that uniquely American sweet - the funnel cake and enjoy the carousel and mirror maze.

Once you do that keep walking along Fisherman's Wharf to Ghirardelli Square.

Use the button below to get directions there, and then pick one of the nearby locations from the list at the bottom of the page. If none of them strike your fancy try changing the drop-down to "All Locations".
