The affluent northern districts — the yacht-filled Marina and the mansion-lined Pacific Heights, with the Palace of Fine Arts, Crissy Field's bay-and-bridge walks, and the Golden Gate Bridge just beyond. Smart, safe-feeling and scenic, though further from downtown; a comfortable, upscale base with the bridge and the bay close at hand.

On your doorstep
What you’re living next to if you stay here.
- 1.The Golden Gate Bridge — The most beautiful bridge in the world — the great burnt-orange Art Deco span soaring 1.7 miles across the strait, often draped dramatically in fog. Walk or cycle across it, or admire it from Battery Spencer, Crissy Field or Baker Beach; iconic from every angle, and best when the fog rolls through its towers. Unmissable.
- 10.The Palace of Fine Arts — A romantic, monumental faux-Roman rotunda and colonnade reflected in a swan-filled lagoon in the Marina — the sole survivor of the 1915 world's fair, and one of the most beautiful, photogenic spots in the city. A serene, free stroll, lovely at sunset; combine it with a walk along Crissy Field to the Golden Gate Bridge.
