Along the city’s northern shore lies the Marina District, an area that has continually evolved throughout its history, from ocean dunes to exposition grounds to a fishing haven to a quaint residential neighborhood. How To Get Here The 22, 30, 41 and 45 Muni buses will help you get here and get around without having to worry about parking. What To See & Do Enjoy a sunny afternoon stroll down Union St. past many boutiques, spas and restaurants housed in beautifully restored Victorian buildings. Marina Green, ringed by bobbing boats and serenaded by foghorns, is picturesque. An Instagram favorite is the Palace of Fine Arts. Its arresting Greco- Roman style rotunda and majestic colonnades never fail to impress visitors and the site is favored by many wedding photographers. Fort Mason Center for Arts & Culture, a converted military base, is home to arts organizations and Off the Grid, a regular food truck gathering. For some of the city’s best views, climb up to Pacific Heights, which rests atop a ridge to the south of the Marina. Where To Eat Nab a table at the Michelin-starred Atelier Crenn for a superb prix fixe menu that changes with the seasons. For Mediterranean fare, head to the local favorite Terzo. On Chestnut St., you’ll find everything from artisanal ice cream to great pizza. Be sure to grab a slice at Delarosa.
