Hight rate 19 location for tourist in San Francisco, CA, USA
06-2025 Sister Cities of San Francisco Sign in Hight rate 19 location for tourist in San Francisco, CA, USASutro Heights - San Francisco Lisa: I have been coming to Sutro Heights Park for 20 years and each time I visit I am so satisfied. There is a free parking lot located at the bottom of the park or there is street parking up above. This park boasts gentle rolling grass hills, granite pathways, colorful flowers, a rich history and the most sensational views. The grandkids had a blast running through the park & playing football and we all enjoyed a picnic with views of Ocean Beach. Be sure to read the history of this park (Adolph Sutro)
I count this as one of my favorite parks in San Francisco
Kite Hill - San Francisco Neal: Beautiful place with probably the best views of any public park in San Francisco.
This place doesnt paved paths, but there are some benches. If you look at the hill itself, its not much, but if you look around, youll see so much. I highly recommend visiting this place. Its never crowded.
Buena Vista Park - San Francisco Lina Eryani: Buena Vista Park offers an incredible hiking experience with a variety of trails that cater to different fitness levels. Nestled in the heart of San Francisco, this park is a peaceful escape from the city’s hustle and bustle. As you ascend the trails, you’ll be rewarded with stunning panoramic views of the city, including glimpses of the Golden Gate Bridge, downtown skyscrapers, and even the Bay on a clear day.
The trails wind through lush greenery, shaded by tall eucalyptus and pine trees, making it a great spot for nature lovers. Along the way, you’ll find benches where you can pause to take in the scenery or enjoy a quiet moment. The park is also dog-friendly, so feel free to bring your furry friend along for the adventure.
For the best experience, wear sturdy shoes, as some trails can be steep and uneven. Bring water and a camera to capture the incredible views. Sunrise or sunset hikes are particularly magical, with the changing light adding an extra layer of beauty to the surroundings.
Whether you’re a local looking for a quick getaway or a visitor wanting to explore San Francisco’s natural side, Buena Vista Park is a must-visit destination for hikers and sightseers alike.
The Painted Ladies - Patrick Graham: We came here because my wife really wanted to see the houses immortalized in the opening credits of Full House. We took a Waymo to get there which was a safe and quick way to get there.
There were a fair amount of tourists there taking pictures of the houses. The colours of the houses were pretty muted. I was thinking they would be brighter colours based on their name, something like you might see in the Caribbean.
I’d agree with what others say that being there at sunset would result in much better photos. We were there in the early afternoon. The large trees also did obscure them as previously mentioned by others.
You do get a great view of the city in the background behind the ladies. You can see the Transamerica Pyramid, Bank of America Tower and Salesforce Tower rising above the city in the background.
Worth seeing but wouldn’t quite call it a must see when you are here. If you have time stop by around sunset for the best photos.
Childrens Creativity Museum - San Francisco Colin Huang: My kids loved this place (although they love any sort of play/creativity museum). This place is good for younger children (below 6-7) and has a lot of hands on activities. There are 2 floors, and has enough to keep your children entertained for about half a day.
The activities ate more geared towards arts/crafts and creativity. IE: Lego building, glue and popsicle stick crafts, painting on walls and floors, etc.
Chinatown San Francisco - San Francisco M D (Bigdtravels): What a neat place to visit. From the authentic Chinese restaurants to the spectacular furnishings that you can purchase. There is a unique vibe that you cannot experience anywhere else in San Francisco. I would definitely allow a couple of hours or more to walk and enjoy this area. Don’t forget to swing by the fortune cookie factory.
Rincon Park - San Francisco Ria Isa: Beautiful dog friendly not so spacey park with the stunning Bay Bridge in the background. Lots of seating, long stretches of pathways, beautiful sea of endless faces, runners, walkers, talkers, music listeners and dogs, great for people watching.
Such a calm yet invigorating place to chill!
