Things To Do
Ferry Building
The Ferry Building is an iconic building on the water near the Financial District. It's picturesque and features various local restaurants, shops, and other vendors.
Palace of Fine Arts
The Palace of Fine Arts is located in the Marina, right below the Golden Gate Bridge. It was originally built for the 1915 Panama–Pacific International Exposition to exhibit works of art. Katie and Chase spent many Sundays walking around the palace, coffee in hand.
Lyon Street Steps
Great spot to walk to with incredible views of the bay. At the bottom of the steps is the "school" that was in Princess Diaries

Fort Mason park was a few blocks away from each apartment Katie and Chase lived in! This was our go-to park for picnic dinners, day parties with friends, and watching the sunset over the Golden Gate Bridge.
