Ferry Building Marketplace

Most malls are usually enclosed, maybe for protection against summer's heat and winter's cold. Although a lot of the Ferry Building's artisanal shops are inside, many booths also spring up outside on the weekends to take advantage of the Ferry Buildings glorious location right on San Francisco Bay with a view of both the Golden Gate Bridge and the Bay Bridge. If you want more out of your shopping experience than just a pile of stuff, head to the Ferry Building, an iconic San Francisco structure. A popular destination for anyone who loves to cook or eat, the Marketplace offers a variety of specialty food stores and restaurants. A farmers market is held outside on Tuesdays and Saturdays.
