San Francisco Ferry Shopping Center

San Francisco Ferry is a huge shopping mall located on the Wharf at the end of Market Street. Built at the end of the XIX century, this building was a berth for rafts, which from the time of the gold rush to the thirties of the last century was the only way for the inhabitants of the islands and all those coming from the East to get to the city. Then road transport displaced ferries, but when cargo traffic became too dense, ferries became relevant again.

Of course, today the original appearance of the San Francisco Ferry has changed significantly, especially the interior design. However, the main structure remained. It turned out to be surprisingly durable - steel beams were used in the construction of the building, which withstood even the strongest earthquakes. The building itself is majestic, its spire of the building is visible from afar, and the interior amazes with splendor - original covered galleries, stained glass windows, a sea of glass and elegant decoration.

However, in addition to the role of a historical monument, the building is a powerful market. Numerous shops offer a huge variety of products. Various restaurants, bistros and cafes are also waiting for visitors, some of which will enjoy stunning views of the city, opening from open areas.

Many people think that San Francisco Ferry is the place to start. Also from here by ferry you can reach all the surrounding cities.
