San Francisco

Virgin Pocket Guides keep well away from those cliched tourist traps and detail more of what is hip and happening. A team of local writers have researched and compiled over 1,000 of the top places in town: the best restaurants, bars, clubs and club nights, shops, hotels, and the sights really worth seeing. Clear design and well-organized listings give visitors instant access to information and each entry is referenced to a set of city maps in the back of the book. These guides work hard and play hard -- everything a traveler would expect from a brand like Virgin.
