Located in the urban heart of San Francisco's downtown district, The Moscone Center is easily accessible by transit. BART offers fast, convenient regional service and MUNI Metro provides light rail service throughout the City into the Powell and Embarcadero stations. Caltrain offers a frequent schedule into the nearby station at 4th & Townsend Streets. All of these stations are within a few minutes' walk of The Moscone Center.
While this page includes directions for reaching the center by various transportation modes, the emphasis on transit is provided for the visitor's convenience.
