San Francisco (EYEWITNESS TRAVEL GUIDE) 
Product Description: - Set on steep, wooded hills and almost surrounded by a vast bay, this jewel of a city is, above all, photogenic. Equip yourself with a camera, a map, good walking shoes, and set off to discover its historic sights, cultural treasures, and vibrant neighborhoods. For more detailed information about famous sites, maps, a huge selection of hotels, restaurants and entertainment venues look to Eyewitness Travel San Francisco and Northern California.
Customer Ratings: - This is a great book! Well, I liked it. It has all the necessary places and things that were helpful to me when I was exploring in San Francisco. In the book, there is a map that is pretty helpful.
- Eyewitness for San Francisco. This one is pretty to look at but a little light on practicality. We opted for others. For an illustrated colorful overview for what s in store if you visit, its worth a lookysee.
- Excellent Travel Book!. I used this to plan my family trip to San Francisco just a few weeks ago and it was SO useful!
I ve always enjoyed the Eyewitness books because of the wonderful color photo s and descriptions. This book is no different! I like to see pictures of travel destinations because it s helps to find and recognize it once I m there. The book has all the information I needed to plan out our 9 day trip.
It has a section of hotels, restaurants and stores, but being that there are literally TONS of them in SF, the book does not cover them all. It did give a great overview of the ones listed though.
I will always look to the Eyewitness Travel books for other travel adventures! - Somewhat informative, busy layout not conducive to quick reference. I bought this book for a 4-day trip and needed an easy to use guide book, but it was a bit outdated (restaurants listings were not correct) and sight-seeing tips were boring and/or half-heartedly written.
I liked the Eyewitness book for Tokyo, which had a light overview with useful pictures and maps. It complemented a Frommers book well, which had lots of useful information, but required more reading to get a good idea of a neighborhood. I think this book would also benefit from another, more well-informed book, as this one lacked the in-depth details on a particular sight.
The layout was also very busy and distracting. A better layout, perhaps with selective use of color, would have been easier to navigate. - Practical and Beautiful Travel Guide. I am a big fan of the Eyewitness series of travel books. The SF version was my first. I love the 3-d type maps and renderings of buildings as they add that extra dimension of familiarity when arriving in an unfamiliar place. The info is useful and accurate as any travel guide needs to be with the added value of the beautiful layout, photos, and images. The book becomes a souvenir of the trip!
