Financial District

Financial District
The Financial District is the main central business district and home to the headquarters of the 12th District of the United States Federal Reserve, as well as the iconic Transamerica Pyramid building. It also houses the corporate headquarters of many financial giants such as Visa, Wells Fargo Bank, Salesforce, Charles Schwab Corporation, Uber, Lyft and Twitter.
 
And its many skyscrapers add a very impressive skyline to the city. Despite the fact that the area was almost completely destroyed by the 1906 earthquake and fire, many of its original skyscrapers have survived. Today the architecture reflects a mix of both contemporary as well as more historic buildings such as the Merchant and Exchange building, the Bank of America building and the Russ building. There are also plenty of shopping opportunities in the area with centers such as the Embarcadero Center and the Ferry Building. It begins at Montgomery, which was once known as the “Wall Street of the West,” and ends at the Embarcadero.
