San Francisco Ferry Building, San Francisco, CA - 1000 Places to See Before You Die on Waymarking.com

"The San Francisco Ferry Building is a terminal for ferries that travel across the San Francisco Bay and a shopping center located on The Embarcadero in San Francisco, California. On top of the building is a large clock tower, which can be seen from Market Street, a main thoroughfare of the city. Architecturally, the clock tower was modeled after the 12th century Giralda bell tower in Seville, Spain. During daylight, on every full and half-hour, the clock bell can be heard chiming portions of the Westminster Quarters." (visit link)

Even though it was built as a ferry terminal, nowadays the building is focused on commercial uses. Inside the building are a lot of small gourmet food shops and cafes. On three days a week, there's a farmers market outside of the ferry building. My favorite place to visit is a olive oil shop that has delicious samples of infused olive oils.

Because of the vastness of many of the "non-localized" sites (Gobi Desert, Great Wall of China), waymark owners are encouraged to allow visits that reflect different perspectives and experiences.
Localized waymark sites (Structures, Landmarks, Businesses) should reflect standard waymarking visit criteria (Logs & photos).
