Hayes Valley
See this picturesque new area, near the San Francisco Civic Center, with it's collection of great street art and small coffee shops.
The Castro
Experience this historic neighborhood, hugely important in the LGBTQ movement, of which San Francisco is a world-wide symbol.
Mission Dolores Park
One of the loveliest parks in SF and possessing great views of downtown.
Haight-Ashbury
This is where the hippie, anti-Vietnam War, movement really started in the 1960's. The neighborhood still maintains much of that same aesthetic (as well as being a great place to have lunch).
