Things to do in San Francisco - Embarcadero Center Walkway POPOS #4 #UrbanTrekUSATips

This #UrbanTrekUSATips by Urban Trek USA a San Francisco private walking and city tour. BEST city tour for an IMMERSIVE San Francisco EXPERIENCE. Get off the tour bus, urban trek with us!.

This tip is one of those not very popular things to do in San Francisco but worthwhile doing if you are in the Financial District. The Embarcadero Center is comprised of four buildings and they have walkways that connect one building to the next. These walkways have seating, plants, flowers, sculptures and have nice views of the high-rise office buildings. What I like most about this area is it is not crowded even when the streets below have a lot of people walking. Therefore, if you feel like being away from the crowd then the Embarcadero Center walkways is a good place to visit. You can bring your lunch or snack and sit at one of the many seating areas. Or you can just rest and have a little bit of peace and quiet.

In my opinion, the best way to walk is to start from One Embarcadero and walk to Four Embarcadero because the view walking that direction is better than the opposite direction. There are stairs from Sansome Street (between Sacramento & Clay) that will lead you to the walkway. Refer to the first two photos below.

Things to do in San Francisco - POPOS #2 (Privately owned public open space)

This #UrbanTrekUSATips by Urban Trek USA a TOP RATED San Francisco private walking and city tour. Joining an urban trek San Francisco walking tour will provide visitors with the BEST city tour in San Francisco for an IMMERSIVE San Francisco EXPERIENCE. Get off the tour bus, urban trek with us!

On a nice day, a good "things to do in San Francisco" is to bring your lunch or just relax a bit at one of the POPOS (privately owned public open space) around San Francisco. There are a bunch of them in the Financial District.

This second POPOS was, to my knowledge, the blueprint for the POPOS concept that started in 1985. The Transamerica Redwood Park at the foot of the Transamerica Building was done in 1972. It has tall redwood trees and a fountain with benches. It truly has an atmosphere of tranquility in the middle of the hustle and bustle of the Financial District. It is easily accessible during business hours (closed on weekends).

Tip: An excellent place to grab lunch that is very close by is Sushirrito (475 Sansome Street) just across the street from the Transamerica Redwood Park (Clay Street side). See photos below of some of the sushi burrito items I like to order.
