Itinerary
Running a full block between Mission and Valencia streets, this vibrant, living outdoor museum is famous for its edgy, contemporary, and highly political street art. Established in 1992 by a collective of local artists, the ever-changing murals here tackle powerful social justice themes, community activism, and global environmental issues, making it one of the most socially relevant art spaces in San Francisco.
A true masterpiece of public art, this spectacular, world-renowned mural completely covers the exterior of a four-story community center. Painted in 1994 by a collaborative team of seven female artists, "Maestrapeace" stands as a towering, intricately detailed tribute to the courage, contributions, and history of women and indigenous leaders from around the globe.

About San Francisco
San Francisco crowds steep hills onto a peninsula between the Pacific and its bay, with cable cars, the Golden Gate Bridge and colourful neighbourhoods.
The Golden Gate Bridge spans the strait at the mouth of the bay, often wrapped in fog, and walking or cycling across it is a classic. Boats cross to Alcatraz, the former island prison, while Fisherman's Wharf is known for seafood and the sea lions that bask on the docks of Pier 39. The Ferry Building is a food lover's market.
Top-ranked sights in San Francisco: Golden Gate Bridge, Union Square, San Francisco Chinatown.
