Mingle with young professionals, tech geniuses and finance gurus when you walk the streets of the Financial District.

The towering skyscrapers of the Financial District cast a Manhattan feel over the bustling streets as people move about from one meeting to another. But since you’re on holiday and not on the clock, forget about all those board meetings and head to the Wells Fargo History Museum. Not into banking history? No problem. The Pacific Heritage Museum should keep you entertained for a bit. And be sure to stop in to a few of the great watering holes in the area.
