North Beach, Also Known as Little Italy SF
Only steps away from our hotel, the North Beach neighborhood is one of those places that makes you feel like you belong, even as a visitor. Maybe it's the Old World vibe of Little Italy, where you can sip cappuccinos and munch on cannolis from checkered tablecloth bistro tables, or indulge in plates of chicken cacciatore at Original Joe's. This lively enclave hosts a mix of charming cafes, historic sites, and a thriving arts scene that captures the essence of San Francisco's diverse culture.
Things to Do in North Beach San Francisco
Walk off all that delicious food by climbing the
Coit Tower,
a 210-foot emblem of the San Francisco skyline since 1933 offering 360-degree views of the city. Don't forget the Beat Museum, built to honor the artistic and influential Beat Generation that helped shape American literary culture. Feeling inspired after that visit? Pop by City Lights Bookstore where some of the earliest works from the Beat Generation were published. In the evenings, enjoy live music and drinks at
Comstock Saloon
or any of the multiple dive bars along Green street.
