Ghirardelli Square

Fodor's Review:

Most of the redbrick buildings in this early-20th-century complex were once part of the Ghirardelli factory. Tourists come here to pick up the famous chocolate, but you can purchase it all over town and save yourself a trip to what is essentially a mall. (If you're a shopaholic, though, it definitely beats the Cannery.) There are no less than three Ghirardelli stores here, as well as gift shops and a couple of restaurants—including Ana Mandara—that even locals love. Placards throughout the square describe the factory's history.
