Obscure records on Haight Street, clubs in SoMa, eco-movies in Japantown and pirate supplies in the Mission - San Francisco's got what you're looking for.

This pared-down number is ideal for quick trips - it's less accommodation, more neighbourhood highlights and the best of local knowledge.

* Full-colour pull-out map and detailed neighbourhood maps
* Itineraries and highlights to make the most of a short trip
* Locals (like Lemony Snicket) reveal San Francisco's secrets and oddities
* Guide to Chinatown's famed back alleys
