The Port of San Francisco (website: www.sfport.com) operates the 110-year-old Ferry Building on The Embarcadero, situated at the end of Market Street. The port is technically the 11km (7 miles) of San Francisco Bay waterfront, stretching from Hyde Street Pier in the north to India Basin in the south. It includes restaurants, promenades and the attractions of Fisherman's Wharf (see Key Attractions). The remodelled Ferry Building Marketplace celebrates food in all its forms (see Key Attractions).

Ferry services: The Ferry Building is a terminal that serves sightseeing boats and local and Marin County ferries (see Getting Around). The Ferry Building, Pier 39 and Pier 41 are where the various ferries dock - many companies use several of the docks, depending on the routes served. Golden Gate Transit Ferry (tel: (415) 455 2000; website: www.goldengateferry.org) operates services to Marin County. Bay Crossings tour information centre (tel: (415) 362 0717; www.ferrybuildingmarketplace.com/bay_crossings.php) is located centrally in the Ferry Building. You can buy tickets at the ticket office behind the Ferry Building.
