  Our unique balance in this title covers both the must-sees and the more-obscure better than any other short-break guide. This guide features increased itineraries and new neighborhoods that give the guide a more comprehensive view. Visitors can drink a pint of Anchor with a bike messenger or line up with old Italian ladies for fresh-baked focaccia. This work focuses on sustainability and shares information on low-impact travel, organic food, farmers' markets and locally-owned businesses.

  In creating this brand new series, we have listened to travellers' needs and created a series that enables travellers to travel the way they want to. This title offers a City Diary that takes readers to the best events and festivals around. It includes an Itineraries chapter that allows travellers to plan their time effectively. New Neighbourhood structure better reflects how visitors see the city - holistically rather than isolated 'points of interest'. There is new directory of practical information. New Themes section gives eat, sleep and shop information - and allows the reader to access the city by subculture (eating out, gay culture, art and more). It comes with a detachable pull-out map. It highlights San Fransisco's quirky side as well as the must-sees like Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge.
