Lyon Street Steps: A Stairway to San Francisco Scenery

Getting There

• Walking

  If you are already in Pacific Heights, walk towards the intersection of Lyon Street and Broadway. The steps are easily visible from the street. From the Presidio, exit at the Lombard Gate and walk south on Lyon Street to Broadway. The entrance to the steps will be on your left.

• Public Transport

  From Fisherman's Wharf, take the 8 bus from Powell and North Point Streets and transfer to the 45 bus at Columbus Avenue & Union Streets. Take the 45 to the stop at Union Street and Baker Street. Walk one block west along Union Street to Lyon Street, then turn left and walk up the hill. The bottom of the Lyon Street Steps will be on your right after about a block and a half. A single ride on Muni costs $3.

• Taxi/Ride-Share

  A taxi or ride-share from Union Square to the Lyon Street Steps will typically cost between $15 and $25, depending on traffic and demand. Ask to be dropped off at the intersection of Lyon Street and Broadway.

• Driving

  If driving, navigate to the intersection of Lyon Street and Broadway. Street parking is generally available on Lyon Street near the top of the steps or on Vallejo Street halfway down, but it can be limited, especially during peak hours. Parking is free, with a 3-hour time limit. Be aware of street cleaning schedules. There are no parking garages directly adjacent to the steps.
