Palace of Fine Arts

The Palace of Fine Arts is an SF staple for a reason.

It’s a go-to spot for photographers, painters, and other creatives hoping to capture the iconic architecture. The path around the lagoon and through the rotunda makes for a picture-perfect walk and the grassy fields are excellent for picnicking!
