Why go
Start among Downtown’s street grid and Gaslamp buildings, then turn west to the Embarcadero, where the Maritime Museum and USS Midway explain the harbor’s working and naval character. Continue south only if Seaport Village or Petco Park matches your priorities. This route suits a full urban day with steady walking, but museum interiors add substantial time. Keep one ship museum essential and make the second optional rather than rushing both.
