Other walks close to Civic Center.

Sorted by distance from the start of civic center: the beaux-arts plaza and the tenderloin edge. Good for stitching together a longer day.

Boutiques and design shops, the rotating art on Patricia's Green, and the opera-and-symphony edge.

The cable-car turnaround, the department stores, one Frank Lloyd Wright building, and the theaters off the square.

SFMOMA and Yerba Buena Gardens, the South Park oval, and down to the bay at Oracle Park.

The Dragon Gate, the herb shops of Stockton, the fortune-cookie alley, and the painted balconies of Grant.
