Other walks close to Hayes Valley.

Sorted by distance from the start of hayes valley: the freeway that came down. Good for stitching together a longer day.

The domed City Hall, the Asian Art Museum and the library, and the murals and grit of the Tenderloin streets.

Postcard Row's Victorians against the downtown skyline, the square itself, and the wide Western Addition streets.

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

The oldest building in the city, two alleys painted end to end, and a taqueria to finish.
