Directions

Home to the iconic Painted Ladies Victorian row houses with the downtown skyline behind them, this hilltop park is one of SF's most photogenic spots. Locals use the grassy slopes for picnics and sunbathing while tourists snap the famous postcard view. It gets crowded on sunny weekends and the surrounding streets can be hard to park on, so come on a weekday morning for the best experience.
