The stops, in order
- SFMOMAWelcome to SFMOMA, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art—the West Coast's premier epicenter for contemporary art. Reopened in 2016 following a spectacular expansion by architecture firm Snøhetta, the museum features seven floors of light-filled galleries housing one of the most comprehensive modern art collections in existence. Here, you'll encounter works by masters such as Andy Warhol, Jeff Koons, Ellsworth Kelly, and Gerhard Richter.
- Painted LadiesHere are the Painted Ladies, the most photographed Victorian and Edwardian houses in the United States. Located on Steiner Street and famously known as the 'Seven Sisters,' these elegant residences with their colorful facades were built between 1892 and 1896. They feature refined architectural details such as ornate porches, turrets, and intricate carvings that speak to the opulence of the era.
- Golden Gate ParkWelcome to Golden Gate Park, a massive green lung covering over 400 hectares, stretching from the city center all the way to the Pacific Ocean. Conceived in the late 19th century from arid sand dunes, the park is actually larger than New York's Central Park. Here, you'll discover treasures such as the Japanese Tea Garden, the California Academy of Sciences, and the de Young Museum.
