Things to do in San Francisco, California (CA): The Best Historic Walking Areas
Every neighborhood in San Francisco has its own personality, from the hippie chic of the Upper Haight to the hipster grit of the Mission. The Marina district boasts trendy bistros and postcard-perfect views of the Golden Gate Bridge, while Noe Valley offers quaint and quiet boutiques. Wave hello to the sea lions at Pier 39, and sample local cheese and charcuterie at the Ferry Building. Sit in on a yoga session in Dolores Park or marvel at the Dutch Windmill across from Ocean Beach.

This is a very long street that stretches from the Ferry Building and the Bay all the way to the Richmond District and the Pacific Ocean. Along the way you have a good cable car line, lots of skyscrapers, Grace Cathedral and Nob Hill, part of Chinatown, Polk Gulch, the edge of the Fillmore and the huge Richmond district residential area. You can walk only part of it, it is so long.

One of San Francisco's unique neighborhoods, walk to the top, visit Coit Tower for the murals, and then descend the Filbert Steps. Linger to view the unique architecture and views all the way.

Amazing experience! I loved watching the wild parrots fly overhead. We also saw a bunch of plants of all kinds, if you’re a nature lover you’d love this little oasis in the middle of the city! We went down the steps from coit tower, I’d definitely recommend walking down them rather than up lol. There are a bunch of stairs!

We stumbled upon this completely by chance as we were walking from Coit down to the piers and GPS plotted the route. It is beautiful along these steps. Definitely take them down, the climb up would be less amusing.

If you are lucky to get a clear day or a day with great clouds it is lovely. It can get chilly here if it is windy.

Give yourself a cardiovascular workout on these steps, after which you'll be rewarded with a panoramic view of the San Francisco Bay.

Lyom Street steps are easy to fine. Amazing views of the bay. Windy though! Don't let tge sun fool you. Uber was tricky to get on way out. Had to walk toward main street.

What a cool neighborhood. After dining at Petit Crenn, my friend and I decided to walk around and so enjoyed this area. It is very clean (unlike some other areas in the city). There are many great food options, from restaurants to food trucks all in one central area. We saw a lot of unique clothing stores and boutiques too. The weather was perfect so lots of folks were walking around or sitting on the benches eating their food truck food and enjoying the night. We wondered through a store that sells specialty grocery and food gifts and wine. You might find flavored honey, unique salad dressings, gift items and a large wine selection. This neighborhood is worth spending some time in.
