Closest Parking to the Ferry Building / Tour Pickup Spot
The best option is the outdoor parking lot about 1 block away from the Ferry Building on Washington Street. You can see the Ferry Building in the distance.
There are two parking locations on
this map with green dots. Please note
that parking is very close to the Ferry
Building.
Option 2: 50 Howard Street
This is the 2nd best option to park your car if you're a weekday customer or a 9am weekend customer.
Option 3: Next to Ferry Bldg.
This is the 3rd best option to park your car if you're ahead of schedule. It's the closest to the Ferry Building, but the line can be long to get in.
3 Parking Options:
Option 1: Washington Street & Embarcadero Street (Intersection)
Just one block away from the Ferry Building at the intersection of Washigton Street and The Embarcadero Street is an outdoor lot by "Ace Parking." It's one of the three official parking lots for the Ferry Building and the weekend Farmer's Market.
They offer lower rates for customers that buy something "anything" at the
Ferry Building and keep their receipt.
Approximate Rates (6 Hours):
$36 (no purchase at Ferry Building)
$27 (with purchase at Ferry Building)
Directions: Finding the Washington Street lot is easy, because it's across the
street and to the left of the Ferry Building (when facing it).
At the bottom left corner of this picture is where the
Washington Street
parking lot is. It's right in front of the
tennis courts across the street from the Ferry Building.
Option 2: 50 Howard Street
Just a few blocks from the Ferry Building on Howard
Street and The Embarcadero Street. It's the official parking
garage for the Ferry Building and the weekend
Farmer's Market.
Rates (6 Hours):
$25 (no purchase required)
ATTENTION: Weekend 11:45am customers, we don't recommend this parking garage for you.
Directions from the
Embarcadero:
Turn onto Howard Street from the Embarcadero and
it will be on your right on the corner of Steuart
Street.
Directions from the
Ferry Building:
Walk towards the Bay Bridge and make a right onto
Howard Street. It will be on your right on the
corner of Steuart Street.
Option 3: Right next to the Ferry Building
To the left of the Ferry Building is a parking lot. Since it's the closest the line of cars tends to be long and it's the only parking lot that works like a valet service where they park your car. If you're running late, we don't recommend this lot, but if you're ahead of schedule it's a good option.
Approximate Rates (6 Hours):
$50 (with no purchase at Ferry Building)
$27 (with purchase at Ferry Building)
