If you are serious about being gay, then you gotta go here at least once; because, nothing about who you are happens in a vacuum.
Truly a must-see for any visitor or resident, LGBT or straight. Protip: free entrance to the GLBT History Museum with any purchase from the HRC Store!
Great streetcar museum - worth a visit - photos, maps, models, and even Maya Angelou
Free admission. Pretty cool gift shop. While they have info about railways in general, their focus is the groovy vintage F-line railcars that run up Market and along The Embarcadero.
It's mostly a gift shop, but there is enough history in there to keep you occupied for 10 minutes or so.
Check out this crazy museum open Wednesday and Saturday from noon-4 and most afternoons if the curator is there. Tour includes free live demonstrations!
Nice spot for a museum near Chinatown.
Come and visit me. My artist residency ends at the end of this year.
The miniatures are super cool.
Very interesting and a good way to learn about the history of Wells Fargo Bank
Real nice museum about the origin of Wells Fargo and in some sense, banking. It’s free
This is such a beautiful historic building. Check out the vaults!
If you ever get invited to a party here, GO! It's a grand old venue with an interior courtyard! Check out the old vault downstairs.
Check out the frosted windows on the 2nd floor at the rear. Local blogger Larry See calls this the “mystery room”; it's now stripped bare and there's no record of what occurred inside it. Read more.
The Haas-Lilienthal House in Pacific Heights is San Francisco’s only Victorian home open regularly as a museum. Built in 1886, it survived the earthquake of 1906 and may be rented for special events.

Open Saturday, Sunday, Wednesday with limited hours. Check tours online before you come.
Great staff and Museum. It is worth every penny and the History is needed. One of the best Museums to WWII in the country.
Absolutely worth the time and money to stop and explore working history! Check out the working engine room!! The volunteers are kind and knowledgable. Ask questions!
Don't forget to check out the working engine room.
Was a nice tour.. Amazing to imagine how it was in action.. Liked the wave action while on it.. Get the audio tour worth it
Okay, this is kinda awesome if you're any sort of WWII and/or submarine nerd.Pro-tip: if you're claustrophobic, RUN AWAY.
Awesome. Make sure you get the audio or you'll miss so much! Really pits it all in perspective.
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
