Loved how different in people but everyone is smiling it's so beautiful keep on smiling people makes other smile

Nice place to chill in San Fran. If the weather is good, excellent place to have a coffee or prosecco and people watch. Apple and Macy near by as are lots of restaurants and diners. Definitely a must visit whether you are here on business or vacation

Beautiful! Lots of stores and other boutiques to shop. Nice outside area to walk or picnic. Good place for photos.

Very festive during Christmas time. Too bad for the growning number of homeless.

This is one of the best spots in The City. Of course its one of the first I checked out since I was staying nearby. I quickly learned that here one can see all forms of life. The rich, the richer, and the richest. Not that I can tell the difference. Also the poor, the poorer, and the poorest. Artists of different media show off their wares here and it's an ice skating rink in winter. The middle, the middler, and thr middlest are also represented here (either working the tour buses and surrounding businesses, maybe selling some or on vacation patronizing those same businesses and buses). You can see a Lamborghini parked or somebody defacating on the sidewalk. You can easily hear at least five languages being rattled off within a 20 ft radius, and accents from all over the country. Still alot of work going on there. Don't exactly know what it is thats going on but looking forward to seeing it completed. I like to sit atound here and read sometimes eat. The coolest and most fashionable (Apple, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Nike and many many others) surround this square. Catch a tour bus, rent a bike, go shoppinging, or just people watch. I could go on , but why waste my time typing about something I believe you'll enjoy more visiting rather than reading about. See you there.

Central SF square. Nothing particularly noticeable but a lot of shopping around for those interested

Most of the popular shopping plazas are here. Banana republic , Gap , Macy's , Saks and a regular with tourists

Had fun but a loud protest was happening just as we finished iced skating. So glad we finished up as that chaos was beginning.

Very touristy only shops around. Only good for shopping lovers

Lively and beautiful place around Christmas. There is music, public ice skating and a big and colorful Christmas tree. The shops nearby are great and attract many visitors.

Waiter/bartender were kind but very slow. Got the potstickers thinking noone could mess up potstickers....I was wrong. Absolutely gross. The location is pretty but not worth the hassle.

Stayed at Parc 55 in Union Square, I highly recommend this hotel, right in the middle of everything.

Love walking around here at night during the holiday season.

Lot of great bars and shops near by great big ole Christmas tree right in the middle this time of year

Beautiful at night, surrounded by lit up shops and landscaping. Cool and creative heart statues at the corners too. Great for a stroll at night if you're nearby. The weather may be chilly though, so I recommend bringing a jacket.

Went there to see the parade for Chinese New year 2018. Very well organised. Crowded, should be there an hour before atleast to get a good spot. For parking 3 hrs probably.

Great collection of shops all in one place. Something for everyone!!

Central location handy for cable cars trams theatres and chinatown

Just a square but good place for bus tours of city and cable car. Centre of shopping district. Cheesecake Factory on 7th floor of Maceys. Good views.

Great place to go ice skating for the experience. The ice rink is about have the size of regular ice rink and gets crowded fast.

One place which shoppers can't miss when visiting San Francisco. Macys, Disney, Naimun Marcus, Express, Victoria Secret all the famous brands are near by and a point for all the events and happenings. A must visit place.

One of the historical landmark of American civil war memorial "Union Square" is the midst of northern San fransisco down town, it is the centre place for shopping, hotel, boutiques, art galleries and reasturants district. Major places of interests are located closed to this area of the town.
Major tourist destination and typical cosmopolitan getaway with access to cable cars, metro and public transport, big hotels to medium inns and hostels.
Stayed close by because of accessibility to major tourist attractions, transport and hotels.

Visited union station a week ago. Nice area and atmosphere.

A place where every tourist would love to spend some time and take photos of this iconic spot in San Francisco.Lovely place where you will see artists displaying their art and lots of people admiring and purchasing them.Good restaurants and shopping options like Macys are within walking distance.

Nice square in a gorgeous city, well worth a visit.

Probably not usually a problem, but on a sunny day there is not a lot of places to sit. Also to many people smoking...

There was a nice art show going on when I went. Not sure if this is a common thing.

Great place to be in the heart of downtown SF shopping on Powell St.

The coffe shops are way overpriced. The staff does not even clean up the tables. I saw tourist literally walk away from the shops there. Great during the Holidays to see an event but needs more care. It's a shame.

Beautiful Christmas tree, ice rink, shopping abounds, great time

Great place for shopping and to hang out. Also great to meet people from all over the world. This is the number one shopping district in San Francisco and there is always something going on. Right now a lot of construction is going on in this area, which will still take a while to be finished.

Great shopping experience with plenty of food options nearby as well. Love the holiday decorations they put up every year too!

Very weird mix of high fashion stores, hipsters, and homeless people... but hey, that's San Francisco.

Nice square in SF. Inside Macy's building, in the last floor there is a Cheesecake Factory with a balcony to take nice pictures of the square

Union Square is essentially the center of San Francisco. It is surrounded by signature hotels, such as the St. Francis, Sir Francis Drake and Gramd Hyatt. The square itself offers a civic open space where people my freely gather to eat al fresco, enjoy a coffee and people watch. Of course, the name in the contemporary vernacular is synonymous with high end shopping. Few people actually take the time to ask what is Union Square and where did it get its name? Union Square is named in honor of the Union Army of the Civil War era as that part of the city was being developed in the post-Gold Rush time of the Comstock Kings. Previously, Portsmouth Square had been the city center, known as the Plaza in the Mexican era. Union Square is an American expression of imperial might in the tradition of Rome. It features a victory column in its center commemorating Admiral Dewey's conquest of Manila Bay in 1898: the beginning of the global American empire. At the top of the column is a statue representing Minerva, the goddess of the sea. The model for that statue was none other than Alma Spreckels (before her marriage), then a much sought after courtesan in San Francisco who would later become a great patron of the arts and whose great collection would become the basis for the Palace of Legion of Honor. I always salute Big Alma when I pass by Union Square, her legacy brings a deeper meaning to the present with its hyperconsumption and ignorance of the nobler pursuits for which this city ought to be recognized.

Great food and cocktails! The old brick building has very hip atmosphere!

A nice remake, but who really benefitted from this redo?

Traffic galore. Parking meters are 25 cents for every 5 mins. Park in an all day garage if you decide to go or Uber.

This is a main attraction in San Fran. Just people watch. It's free. Surrounded by upscale shops and tons of restaurants, it is just around the corner from the (actual, live people) theater district. Ice skating in the winter, and a huge Christmas tree. It is gorgeous at night. Has a garage under it. And it is officially a park. See if you can spot the occasional ranger.

The hub of downtown SF - anytime of year day or night, you can feel the magic of the city sitting by the lights. If you are around winter holidays you will most likely enjoy the beautiful decorations & skating rink.

It's a good spot to view people... Have a coffee or ice cream and enjoy the day.

Nice regrouping spot for your adventure. Definitely a busy spot. Always some amusement to be seen.

It's an interesting place to visit if you are a tourist. It is in the center of hot spots and stores, such as the Apple store and Macy's which has a great view of Union square if you dine at the Cheesecake factory on their 7th floor. Driving by is also okay. I believe there is also parking under the square.

Union Square was fantastic. There was a sense of holiday spirit. It was very friendly.

Surrounded by high end shopping, & it's own underground parking, Union Square still brings you down to Earth. With live art exhibits, street entertainers, bustling tourists & shoppers, you still sense the laid back California vibe, from the locals relaxing on the grass steps during their lunch break.

A great place to be. Simply walking around is an experience. Many nearby places you should visit to eat.

Great central location, you can get anywhere from here. Food and drinks available.

Best place for shopping in town it has the biggest Macy's

Nice place to hangout and surrounded by branded malls.

Union square is a beautiful, well known park in the heart of San Francisco. There is not the traditional type of city action going on there but it is very ecstatically pleasing. It is surrounded by shopping, dining and very nice hotels. Honestly, when I come to San Francisco again this will be my preferred location to stay.

And if you love to take pictures with your better half, this is the best location!!! You will find some lovely hearts around the square that will be an amazing background to take you some pictures with your love

Love the shops around union square. Union square during Christmas, with the tree and ice rink, is my favorite. I visited the past July and there was a lot of Construction going tut looked like it would still be there for a while.

Union Square is a fantastic area!! Their are high end shops such as Tiffany & Co,Louis Vuitton and many others. Also,I really enjoy going around the holidays. The ice skating rink is so much fun. Homeless people are abundant in this area, but that is how the city is. Do not let this deter you from visiting.

Awesome place! There is store after store after store. Very clean and has an amazing food court down a block at the mall.

Great stroll! The few times we've taken that evening walk someone has been performing on the corner; guitar, trumpet, etc. Very cool. Don't forget to tip. They're playing their hearts out up there.

Nice vive in the middle of the bustling city - open space surrounded by trendy high end speciality stores.

Excellent place. Just hangout,sit back and relax or check out leading brands showrooms you love. Real heart of san Francisco

Nice place to sit and rest awhile and watch people go by. Have tea or coffee there while you're at it.

Sunny day. Loved it. Visited SAKS and Macy's as well on the square.

Not a lot going in the square itself. This is rather a historic landmark in the centre of the upscale shopping district of San Francisco.

Impossible to miss whilst visiting the area in San Francisco.

Beautiful in the main area, creepy in the surrounding streets.

Nice place but sad that crazy and dangerous homeless are beginning to take over.

Nothing alluring there. It's just a open space. What makes it attractive is street performers.

Great place for site seeing. Lots of people around. Good shopping and eats in walking distance.

One of the busiest parts of the The City - filled with tourists and those living in the city or the Bay-area alike. There's construction going on for the central subway, but it's still a nice open space for people watching, grabbing some food or coffee to hang-out, or catching some of those rare sun-rays that peak through Karl the Fog. The Square is surrounded by many shops (Williams Sonoma, Macys) and hotels that give a great top view. During the Christmas holiday season, there's an ice rink they set-up and throughout the rest of the year there are various fares (art, cultural, etc.) that take place too.

It gets pretty busy with people and they have improved by adding a street with a few food trucks from off the grid, but restrooms are still limited.

A nice place to sit down and enjoyed the views. A little noisy. You can eat your snacks or lunch there. There is a cafe shop. Chairs weren't that clean at the park. It is close to many stores. It is in down town San Francisco.

The main hub of San Francisco, amazing ambiance and a Paradise for shopholics.

I have been going to Union square a lot, and it is a very cool place in SFO but the the reason I don't give it 5 stars is mainly because of the smell. It smells like piss sometimes and weed, it is just a really weird combination, but the place is really nice specially for tourists

Nice place to relax in some shade of needed. Usually something going on in the square on weekends

Street car , food , shopping stores and live music at night brings people from all the world , I love it and I can t wait to go back .

The food was delicious!! I got full for a guy who eat a lot. Just one serving does it!!

Nice place. I visited on Christmas Eve. Enjoyed so much. Nice decorations and lightings.

It's Union Square. Famous attraction. Not much to say really but it is nice and is surrounded by nice buildings.

I think if you are oblivious and a kid Im sure the place is 5 stars. Seeing all the homeless is just sad.

Just arrived, haven't check in. Love every moment here.

most popular shopping center of the city with Macy's , Disney Store, Uniqlo and Cheesecake factory above all other expensive brands.

Great city square, fun place to just take in the view and ice skate during winter
