Ghiradelli Square: chocolates, chocolate factory, coffee - sites you must taste!
You will find the best chocolate found in a San Francisco shopping center and one of the tastiest San Francisco attractions.
It is close to another famous San Francisco shopping center which is Pier 39 San Francisco. If you are staying at the Argonaut Hotel San Francisco you are right between these two places. Also close by is the Hyde St. Pier where you can visit famous old navy ships. When you are looking for San Francisco things to do this is a great choice.
