You need to get out of SFO as quickly as possible. Sure, the architecture is pretty swank, but you've got a lifetime of adventures waiting for you in the City By The Bay. You also need to book yourself into a hotel that is either in the heart of the city or as close as possible. Whats the point coming if it takes you hours to get into the thick of things? Your best bet will be booking a room right off Union Square.
In addition to everything else it is, Union Square is also the "heart" of San Francisco. Cleared and commissioned in 1850, the square got its name from all the pro-Union rallies held in solidarity with the Union forces of the American Civil War. From a simple square to a major ceremonial center, Union Square is now the de facto shopping flashpoint for the entire Bay Area.
In fact, every year Union Square plays host to the vaunted New Year's Eve celebrations. Modeled to some extent on New York's Times Square, Union Square is the closest most people on the west coast can get to that Eastern city extravaganza. There is a reason why San Francisco has been hailed as the "Paris of the West."
Stupendous shopping, delectable cafes, and endless hours of people watching are yours to be had. In fact, Macy's flagship store dominates the square, keeping the idea of going on a spending spree constantly on your mind. The Union Square stop on the BART rail brings the entirety of the Bay Area to your disposal. With a hotel room off of the square you can conquer all seven square miles of the City That Knows How.
And don't forget about catching a good show. Not a movie, but a show. Union Square is the heart of San Francisco's theater district. There is so much to do and see and so little time. Though some travelers would have you stay closer to the Financial District or perhaps across the Bay in Berkeley, the key to enjoying San Francisco is proximity. With a cozy base of operation off the square you are well on your way to enjoying the shopping, the food and the nightlife of the city.
