A bustling area for San Frans locals and tourists alike, the Union Square area will never leave you with nothing to do. Located in the heart of downtown San Francisco in the center of four major streets- Post, Geary, Powell and Stockton. Just about every store imaginable is located here, with prices ranging from that of the high-end Versace to the inexpensive and hip Forever 21.
