Every great city has a location like Union Square. Central location with great shopping and activities around it. We came around Christmas season and were able to see the ice skating rink, the Macy's Christmas tree, the Menorah that was set up. It was all done beautifully! We really got the sense of the holiday spirit in San Francisco.

I recommend coming here for beautiful pictures by the tree and maybe taking your time and ice skating! Children will love that there's helpers to steady you (in the form of penguins!!!) Also, you're very close to transportation and touristy cable cars.
