San Francisco - The Painted Ladies
Painted Ladies and Hayes Valley
One of San
Francisco’s Iconic tourists photographed location attraction is the ‘Painted
Ladies’ view.
The painted
ladies are 7 Victorian private houses standing shoulder-to-shoulder in Steiner
St, each one colored with 3 or more pastel colors.
Alamo Square
City Park is located on the top of a hill and from here you have an open view of
the Painted Ladies houses, and the downtown city skyline is rising in the
background behind them. This creates a nice, composed view of the “classical”
San Francisco houses and the new downtown skyscrapers.
This is a
popular location for tourists and locals, some come just to take a picture and
other to enjoys the park large open lawns. In sunny days you can by a cup of
coffee in the park coffee truck find an open spot on the lawn, take your time,
relax looking at the view.
A good place to
take great photos is from the park hill above the houses with city skyline in
the background.
The Painted
Ladies are private homes, so it is not possible to enter the houses, their
beauty is from the outside and the overall view.
To the east of
Alamo Square Park, you'll find Hayes Valley, walk down on Hayes St and after
few blocks you will enter Hayes Valley shopping area, with its many boutiques
and excellent bars and restaurants.
The center of
this neighborhood is Patricia’s Green, a small open garden where on a nice sunny
weekends people bring their coffee and lunch to eat and enjoy their time.
From here take a
short walk east and you will reach Van Ness Ave and the City Hall area.
