A lot if construction going on during our visit but the place was clean and overall not too busy. We bought drinks from a local vendor and sat in the shade for a while after walking from fishermans wharf. Good area to meet somebody or get your bearings when shopping.

Great place for photos if you are a visitor to SFO. The cherry blossoms are currently blooming on 20th Mar h 2017. Apple Store is nearby and Macy's is just across the road too. Lots of other big name outlets within short walk radius from Union Square.

I have been this SF Union Square on vacation in late December. During this early Winter time there is a ice rink for those loving skying. Next to Union Square you can find Macys, Uniqlo, Old Navy,... if you are interested in shopping.

Nice central park with good seating and some small cafes. Great for taking a break during shopping excursions on the square. Constant construction for the past year or so has made the space less attractive and harder to navigate.

I don't really know much on how to rate an area, but Union Square is one of my fave places to hang out in San Francisco. This time of the year, I love the outdoor ice rink, especially. No matter what time of year, though, this is sort of a junction place for people and good point to start out on some adventure.

I love visiting city though I could never live there. So many shops to choose from. The mall is gorgeous and clean. Love watching the cable cars and street shows. Weather not permitting this trip

A lot of the park area was closed off as they were constructing a giant Christmas tree. There was also an incredibly noisy strike going on at the hotel across the street so it was not as enjoyable as it could have been

Had a good time with dear ones. Walking around the shops. Exploring the area. I didn't get a chance to board cable car as we didn't have much time. Explore the tourist attractions in leisure, you will definitely like them and Sfo city.

Such a beautiful place in the middle of all these big tall buildings. We went there during Christmas so we saw the huge gorgeous Christmas tree as well. The place was packed with people and everyone was having a great time.

Parking was horrid the day that I went, but at the same time expected for a holiday weekend. Loved the shopping, walking and people watching. Everyone in a joyous mood.
Be careful and watchful. I picked out a perfume at Macy's, my husband went to pay. Days later not at all what I chose and 20 dollars more.

It was fun seeing the trams and the drivers changing direction at the starting point. Other than that, the place is a sad reflection of what San Francisco has become. Drug addiction and homelessness is an epidemic here. With all the helpless people walking around, the place smells like a public toilet.

A vibrant metropolitan hub - but not as busy as other major cities - with all luxury retailers, big hotel brands and prominent corporation offices spread around it! Top news, the ice-skating offering in the center of the square!

What a great place to walk around or sit and people watch. We also did some window shopping, actual shopping, and a little snacking there too. This is an iconic, bucket list district to visit during your SF day trip or weekend getaway.

Prices outrageously high, panhandlers vert aggressive, watches homeless soil, argue and do their toilet business wherever and whenever they needed too, saw fights among them and with patrons ignoring them. CITY STINKS OF FEECES URINE AND VOMIT in and around transportation service areas. We spent a hellish week there and of June. We used to go twice a year. We are done. Ordinary people are not safe. Watch your wallets too, pickpockets worse than NYC, and I grew up there.

Union Square is not a pretty place. There's an underground parking structure, possibly its most useful feature. It does serve well as a point of reference. There's loads of shopping on and near the square, and one can board tour buses there (many of which have on/off privileges). It's a short walk from there to the cable car turnaround at Market Street, where you can also access both BART and MUNI. It makes a good place to meet up, but I can't really call it a destination.

Look at this Christmas precious! It's a very nice and safe area. If you are looking for the place to go shopping it's a perfect area. There are so many different stores. We went to few stores. Prices are the same as everywhere.
Christmas holidays feel magical in here. Palm trees and Christmas lights just feel so right.

Apparently this place is a tourist destination. I found it to be just a pretty area to shop at high-end stores. I will say it did feel pretty San Francisco-y, with the steep streets hosting cable cars adjacent to the Square.
