One walking route through Nob Hill — a Claude-drafted route awaiting the editor's walk — plus nearby routes for the same morning.

The grand hotels, Grace Cathedral and its labyrinth, the cable cars crossing, and the bay laid out below.

Other walks close to Nob Hill.

Sorted by distance from the start of nob hill: the hill of the railroad barons. Good for stitching together a longer day.

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

City Lights and the Beats, an espresso on Columbus, Washington Square, and the climb to Coit Tower.

The downtown towers, the Transamerica Pyramid and its redwood grove, and the brick alleys of Jackson Square.

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