The Real Guide

by Deborah Bosley

Whether you're traveling on a budget or enjoying the finer things, The Rough Guide to San Francisco is the ideal handbook to this stunning city. The book features in-depth discussions of San Francisco's vibrant neighborhoods, from the Beatnik legacy of North Beach to the bustling art scene of SoMa and the history of gay activism in the Castro. There's also the lowdown on seeing the whole Bay Area, from Napa's vineyards to opulent Marin county, the surrounding beaches and the studenty hangouts of radical Berkeley. Detailed color maps make getting around the city easy, and there are hundreds of recommendations on hotels, restaurants, bars and dance clubs for every budget and taste.
